Photo Days - 19, 26 & 27 May 2012

Photos will be taken at Knapsack Park
 
Saturday, 19 and 26 May & Sunday, 27 May have been booked as the 2012 photo days - photo123 will be our club photographers again this year. Team managers will be provided with a team envelope (available from the clubhouse from 5 May) that contains individual order envelopes which are to be handed out to parents/players.
 
For teams who haven’t picked up their photo envelopes yet from the club house, please do so this weekend.

To ensure that things run smoothly on the day, please note the following:

The correct amount of money for your photo order will need to be given to the team manager before photo day. If paying by cheque, make it payable to photo123, not BMFC.

Click here to see the photo options available for purchase.

We have lots of teams and lots of players, managers and coaches to photograph on each day, so your co-operation is needed to ensure that nobody runs late and thus, that no time pressure is put on the teams that follow your photo session. Each team needs to meet 15 minutes before their photo time, so that completed team envelopes can be handed over and players organized (e.g. in full uniform, jerseys tucked into shorts, socks pulled up, drawstrings and singlets/t-shirts not visible, lined-up in height order, etc). This 15-minute period is not the time to be completing team envelopes - please be organized before-hand.

For the schedule for teams being photographed 19 May click here.
For the schedule for teams being photographed on 26 & 27 May click here.
 
For U5-U7 SSF teams, as there are 19 teams that start/finish at the same time and 20 minutes is allocated to photograph each team, the photo schedule means that some teams are photographed earlier than the usual 9am start time and later than the ~10:15am finish time.  It’s just not possible to photograph that many teams just before or just after SSF starts or finishes, so please understand that somebody has to be the first or last photographed.
 
Important
Photos will be taken regardless of weather or whether or not games are played.
If it's raining, photos will be taken inside the club house.
All teams will be photographed, as photos are part of the Club's historical records.
All players MUST be present for photos, even if they are not ordering photos.
All players must wear their full football (soccer) uniform.
All coaches and managers are to wear their club polo shirts, unless they are also senior players.
All players, coaches and managers must be on time.
Photo orders are pre-paid and the exact amount of money must be in prior to photo day.
 
U8, U9, U10 - President's Cup Print E-mail

U8, U9 & U10 President's Cup - Knock Out Competitions


The NDSFA (Nepean) will be offering Knock Out competitions for U8 & U9 age groups this season, as well as the traditional U10 President’s Cup tournament.  All three age group competitions will be known as President’s Cups.
 
The games will be played on Sundays and entry is on a voluntary opt-in basis.  There will be a maximum of 32 teams in each competition; a limit of 1 team per club per age group will apply.  However, Nepean will accept stand-by teams to make up the short fall should some clubs choose not to enter teams.  Games will be scheduled on club fields that are appropriate in size and that do not impact on any full sized field regardless of whether or not it is in use on the Sunday that the matches are scheduled.
 
Forfeits apply to teams once the competition has been published.  $100 fine will apply for withdrawals and no shows, which are essentially forfeits with or without notice, and are payable by the team.
 
Games kick off 22nd July and conclude with the Finals, which will be held on the finals weekend at Jamison Park on 25th August (stand-by weekend 1st September).  Winning club will receive a commemorative cup and finalists (players) will receive medallions in U8 & U9 age groups only.  The U10 tournament will run as in previous years, where finalists will be awarded with trophies.
 
No handicaps will apply in any of the SSF format competitions.  Club referees will be asked to officiate at games and Nepean will set a payment fee suitable for the match grade.
 
Rules for all competitions will be sent to us shortly and the cut-off date for the club to nominate teams is 29 June 2012, so coaches an/ord managers of every U8-U10 team need to advise us by 25 June 2012 if their team wishes to enter or not

Committee Recruitment Print E-mail

Committee People Needed

If you enjoy being part of the club, help yourself and your family by giving us a hand!

Our club is a voluntary sporting association that relies totally on the efforts and skills of its members.  We will only continue to prosper with the support and participation of players and their families.  With the loss of a number of committee and other people in recent years, our club is seeking new volunteers to come forward and help with the efficient running of the club ... and to the new ideas that new people bring to the club.

This year the club will be setting up three sub-committees, essentially split by the three main groups of competitions we play in, namely Senior teams (AA, Prems, O35s), Junior teams (U11-U18) and SSF teams (U5-U10).  We are calling for volunteers for each of these sub-committees to help run an aspect the club.  Some people have already put their hand up to join one of these, whilst others have expressed an interest.  A willingness to help out is probably the main criteria!

Roles that must befilled during the season are:

  • Coaching and Managing teams
  • Committee positions or assistants to committee members with specific tasks throughout the year.

In particular, the club is looking for volunteers to take on the roles of:
      • Registrar
      • Member Protection Officer
      • Safety Officer
      • Coaching Coordinator
      • Publicity & Promotions Officer
      • Roster Officer
      • BBQ Co-ordinator (Saturday AM only)
      • Fields and Maintenance Co-ordinator
      • Act as Duty Officer for a couple of hours on a Saturday or Sunday.

The club needs additional people to assist and to ensure the efficient running of game days.  Without the assistance of new volunteers, the ability of the club to provide efficient and speedy service to its members is severely restricted.

If you able to help, please let one of the committee know at the Registration Days or complete an "I'd Like to Help" form (click here) and hand it in with your registration.

If you would like more information, please contact the club or speak to one the committee members.

Child Supervision Print E-mail
Tuesday, 05 January 2010

Child Supervision

ImageBMFC would like to remind all parents/guardians that they are responsible for their child at training and games.  Every child must have an adult, other than the Coach or Manager, supervising them at training and games for the protection of coaches and managers, as well as children.

The NSW Department of Sports and Recreation recommends that coaches and managers should not be left alone with children under the age of 18.

If you cannot be at training or games, you must arrange for another adult, not the coach or manager, to be responsible for your child.  If for some reason a parent/guardian needs to leave the training session or game, they must not return late to pick up their child.

 
Wet Weather Cancellations Print E-mail

Wet Weather Cancellations

If the Nepean District Soccer Football Association (NDSFA) or another Club cancels a game, the BMFC Competition Secretary will advise your Team Manager who in turn will advise you. If in doubt, contact your Coach or Manager.

ImageNote: - It is strongly recommended that each team makes specific arrangements for general matters like these at the start of the season.

Games can be called off due to wet weather in the following ways:

The NDSFA Competition Secretary will call all games off if Councils in the NDSFA area close their grounds.

The NDSFA Competition Secretary will call games off scheduled to take place on grounds closed by individual Councils in the NDSFA area. In these circumstances, the BMFC Competition Secretary will advise the affected BMFC team Managers of the cancellation. The Team Manager will advise the team members. Again, if in doubt, contact your Team Coach or Manager

Individual clubs will close their grounds. In these circumstances, either the other Club Competition Secretary or the NDSFA Competition Secretary will advise the BMFC Secretary who will advise the affected BMFC teams.

Please remember that these cancellations can occur ‘at the last minute’ and there have been occasions where teams have travelled to games only to find that the grounds have been closed. Every effort is made to avoid this, but it does happen.
