Through close collaboration with our club’s members, four key priorities have been outlined to guide decision making and drive positive change at the club over the next three years. This inaugural strategic plan represents a significant step forward for our club and will guide our committee’s decision making in the short, medium, and long term.

The plan is designed to ensure UHS AFC continues to be a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment for all, while promoting player development and fostering success both on and off the field. As we move forward, this plan will help us continue to build a strong and vibrant future for our club and all its members.
