Earlier this month, the Claremont Development Officer- Declan Cormack, travelled to the Kimberley region with the Fremantle Football Club’s Next Generation Academy (NGA).

Over 5 days, Declan and the FFC NGA staff travelled to Kununurra, Halls Creek, Fitzroy, Derby and Broome. At each of these destinations, Declan and the FFC staff members conducted football clinic, education sessions and even umpired games at the Derby Primary School Dockers Shield.

At each of these locations, Declan and the FFC staff worked closely with the Clontarf Academy’s. The Clontarf staff were extremely welcoming and gave great insight into the region.

Football is a fantastic tool for both community development and education in the region. It’s significant to the region cannot be described in words, you really have to go up there and see it!
