Announcement of Teams: most players should know which team they have been assigned to. If you are uncertain please go to Team Grader click on the Teams tab, then FIND MY TEAM. (NB you will need your FFA id and some adult teams are not listed here.) If you do not know who your team/team manager is, please get in touch with your Age Coordinator this weekend!
For some age groups this process has been a bit tricky with the way registrations have come in, so please be patient with your (volunteer) Age Coordinator while they try (juggle a million jigsaw pieces) to finalise teams.
If you do not yet have a manager - please work together to find a solution this weekend as the Manager information meetings are this coming week. (Details below) Consider sharing the role among a number of you or have one person for communications and roster parents on for weekend duties. It takes a team to run a team!
If you have new members in your team - please make them welcome and ensure they are included on any previously set up Chat Groups etc
Family Discount applications close this weekend!
Please get in touch with Deidre before Monday 29th 9am, if you are yet to register and wish to apply. All registrations should now be complete as age groups are reaching capacity - some have already been closed.
Field Access: we are entering the change over period between summer and winter seasons - this has been delayed this year as cricket season is only just finishing due to our extended football season delaying their start last year.
We are working on all your field and coach requests and hope to have this information to you shortly - it is not an easy process trying to fit everyone into their preferred day and time- especially this year as we have less ground space due to the planned renovation of Wellington Oval. We have requested more space, however are awaiting councils response.
If you are lucky enough to have a ground allocation for training you must continue to abide by the Preseason NO BOOTS policy until APRIL 10th.
All social teams training will commence APRIL 12th.
SuperSkills training begins April 12th-16th
Coach Requests: we will do our very best to find a coach for your team - availability is the biggest problem as more and more teams prefer club coaches. If you know any older teens or are a student or adult with some football knowledge, looking for some coaching work and can commit to one night per week during the regular winter season- we'd love to hear from them. You can apply through the coaching page on the website.
If you are considering coaching a team as a volunteer, there is plenty of training and information support available - just get in touch, we will be happy to set you on your coaching journey.
Please make sure you get along to the meeting next week to hear more.
