1. Calendar Football will be rolled out for all. Date TBC. Roll out for all Football at the same time. Grassroots to Senior.
2. Leagues will operate from February to November. Some staggered breaks for underage if required by each League. See slide. All leagues start and finish at same time November. ( WDSL already play Calendar Football)
3. Clubmark Roll out for Clubs and new League Clubmark. ( League Clubmark was proposed by WDSL in the past)
4. All Leagues and affiliates as they are and the FAI will work and consult with all and upgrade Rule Books.
