Testimonials

Thank you very much for organising it all so quickly. I would like to say how the organisation, accommodation and meals were all fantastic and comments from all who attended were very positive. It is the perfect location and facilities for us, with one of our bases at Blacktown. We are keen to book in some other camps for next year.

Our visit to the VSP in July 2015 to host the M Sports Cup fulfilled our expectations. We took over 140 people to stay at the facility for a week and can genuinely say all our customers were delighted with the experience. The FNSW team have been extremely helpful throughout and we look forward to hosting the event in 2016 at VSP.

Thank you for the recent invite for Country NSW to compete at the FFA Nationals. All the players enjoyed the experience and with 3 out of 5 teams making the semi finals. Hopefully Football NSW were happy with their performance. I would like to thank Andrew Fearnley for his support in getting Futsal up and running. Both our 12 girls and 13 boys who made the semis were predominantly Western NSW and with greater input from the Southern and Riverina coordinators our results could have been better. I would also thank Oscar for his input with our 12 girls at Dural. They were excited that someone of his stature would interact with them. I would also like to thank the cleaning staff at VSP. I had 6 boys stay there. I did try and keep rooms tidy however I failed. The ladies all had a smile on their face – I don’t know how.

On behalf of Handball Queensland, thanks for the great experience over the weekend. Our U18 and 21 teams stayed there and played there in the Handball Nationals. You looked after us well and nothing was ever a problem. Many thanks to David, Kate and Gail. Thanks to the team in the Cafe. They were wonderful; nothing was ever too much trouble for them. Saturday night was great, plenty of compliments about the quality of the food. And finally, thank you for the great weekend. The Qld teams all enjoyed themselves. The units were clean and comfortable and the rec rooms were well used (a big hit really!!). Well done. We look forward to coming back again.

On behalf of Football Federation Australia and our Security Management team from HATAMOTO Holdings Pty Ltd, we are writing to formally acknowledge our appreciation to Claudia Meek, Peter Jarvis and staff at Valentine Sports Park (VSP) for their effort and contribution to ensuring the 2019/20 Hyundai A-League Restart and Quarantine Project was a success.

The venue presented to the highest standard even with significant changes made to accommodate the needs of the Leagues BU, teams and support staff at short notice. The creation of an exclusion zone, as well as the implementation of additional operational procedures to support the Covid-19 Bio­Security Plan was embraced by both Claudia and Peter without consternation.

The safety, security and guidance provided throughout the quarantine project and season restart was a vital part of VSP’s involvement. Thanks in part to the actions and input of Claudia’s team which allowed the 2019/20 Hyundai A-League competition to complete.
