Welcome to 2020. Happy
New Year.
We have been
planning extensively for a successful 2020 playing and coaching program and
look forward to sharing these plans with you over the coming months. Here is
some information to get started.
Football
Brisbane Coaching Clinic: Skills Development Certificate
We are hosting a
coaching clinic on Monday 17th and 24th February from 6.00pm each night. It is
delivered by the Football Brisbane Regional Development of Coaching Martin
Docherty. The Skills Development Certificate is an orientation to coaching
course.
The club has
agreed to pay for 20 coaches to do this certificate if you agree to coach a
team this year.
It is delivered
over 2 nights and is a couple of hours duration each night.
To register your
interest in attending this course please email Nicci in the office ASAP so we
can plan accordingly.
I encourage all of our MiniRoos and junior coaches to
take up this opportunity. Registration close Feb 9th.

Training
U9 and U10
Training for the U9 Academy team will
commence in the first week of February. Rob Kusema, the U9 Academy coach will
inform parents of training details soon.
The U10 Academy team is still to be
finalized. This will occur as part of the grading process, which will be
advertised shortly.
U15
Boys
We have a very
enthusiastic and talented group of U15 boys hoping to play in the Division 1
competition this year. At this point we are a little short in numbers and need
another 5 boys to make sure the team is stable and competitive. Please explore
your friendship groups and networks to see if you know of some boys who may
like to join this group for 2020.
It is important
that we have teams in each age group so I appreciate any support you can give.
Training
Update: U18 and U20
In 2020, we hope
to offer both U18 and U20 teams for our players. We are still in need of
players for both these teams. John McCall has been appointed coach for the U20
team. An U18 coach is still to be identified.
John will commence training for boys in both the U18 and U20 teams on
- § Monday 20th Jan 7.35 – 9.00pm,
- § Wednesday 22nd Jan at 7.35 – 9.00pm
These initial
training sessions will be conducted on the Inspire Field.
Boys in these age
groups are encouraged to contact John to confirm their attendance at training.
John can be contacted at john.mccall@bradnams.com.au or by phone on 0418 780 931 .
If we do not have
enough players to form two teams, we may need to combine this group into one
U20 team. Please explore your friendship groups and networks so we can
hopefully form two teams.
Girls
programs
We look forward to strengthening our girls
program this year and are hopeful that more girls will be joining our club.
Following registration day, we will have a better understanding of how many
girls teams we will have. Corrie Popplewell, our Girls Program Coordinator will
provide an update on this in due course.
Please encourage any daughters or sisters
of members to come to our registration day on 2 February. We will be there to
answer any questions
Important
Note: Field numbering change
To assist in our
overall facilities management and training schedule, and to also help visitors
make sense of our fields numbering we are swapping Field 1 and 2 numbering. As
you look down the hill from the car park the fields will now be numbered one to
two to three as you look from right to left.
Field 1 is at the
bottom of the hill beneath the community clubhouse. Field 2 is to the left of
the existing canteen and change rooms. Field 3 is the MiniRoos playing space
adjacent to the recycling station.
