2013 Season

Hi all,

We are now past the half way mark to the season.

I would like to advise all parents that I will not be continuing on as Junior President next season due to business commitments.

For the club to continue to grow and improve the way it currently runs it would be best for the person or people interested in replacing me next year come forward now as it will give us the time to go through the systems & processes necessary to run the club.

Please let me know if you are available to contribute this time to the club, or ideally the job is best shared among a number of people. 

Speak soon Michael

Swans Academy

To all Newcastle and Central Coast GSJ U/10 and U/12 participants,

The QBE Sydney Swans Academy is looking for boys aged 10-12, who would like to trial for the 2013 Academy program.

The Academy is an elite program, which gives boys in the Sydney Swans Zone a unique opportunity to develop as AFL players. Players are exposed to quality coaching, elevated playing environments, and the ability to mix with other talented players from the Region.

During the July school holidays, the Swans Academy are running an Assessment Day, looking to identify new players for their next intake. Please see the attached flyer, and also http://www.sydneyswans.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/7106/newsid/135508/default.aspx for more information.

I strongly encourage all GSJ participants to look into being involved in this wonderful program, not only to raise the profile and quality of AFL in our Region, but to see our children develop and enjoy their playing experience.

Best wishes for your AFL endeavours.

Club Secretary

Hi all,

I am looking for someone to assist with the club communications. It is an easy system to follow however you do find that you spend around 2 - 3 hours per week looking at emails, posting on the website etc. I have built really easy systems and can show you how to do this in about an hour. Is anyone up for this position? Just let me know.

Shorts & Socks

There was some confusion on the weekend over shorts & socks. When we registered the players this year we did not collect any money from parents for shorts & socks. It works out at $7 for socks & $18 for shorts. It was $100 just for the registration. If you believe that you did pay $125 at registration I can look up your receipt, just let me know.

Also can you please email me if you were unable to find shorts that fitted your child and quote the size please. I assume the socks were fine. Unfortunately we have not received the sizes we ordered.

Shorts & Socks

They have arrived. It costs a total of $25 for both and will be available before the match. Please if possible have close to the correct money as change is always an issue.

Under 12's & Under 14's

I have just emailed you the new draws for under 12's & 14's. There is now a bye in 12's and some of the 14's games have changes times. I have also updated this site.

Under 16's Information

Good luck tomorrow night.

We have ordered socks & shorts for all players in the joint venture so they will have the same uniform. The jerseys will be alternated each week. They may not arrive by tomorrow but check with Matt Bade.

We are trying to encourage all players to train with the seniors on Tuesday or Thursdays. Wednesday was selected as the common training day for all 3 clubs at Niagara as we do not have access to Hylton Moore on Wednesdays.

12 1's Tomorrow Game Cancelled

Gosford have had to close their ground today and unfortunately that means that the 12 1's no longer have a game. I would encourage all players to come and watch the 2's play at Woy Woy to see how it all goes down.

Parent Information 2012

• 9's, 10's, 12's & 14's are all playing on Sunday, 16's to be confirmed

• Unfortunately all the shorts & socks I ordered the week after rego have not arrived. If you have black shorts please wear them if not it does not matter.

• The coaches and managers are listed below. Parents please text the Manager if your child cannot play.

• Please try and arrive at games at least 30 minutes before the game

Away Games

We are back at Hylton Moore tommorrow

2012 Draws

I have uploaded the PDF'S for the draws for this year on the right hand side of this site towards the bottom, so you can easily find them during the season. The 12's teams will be finalised this Wednesday night at the Parents meeting.

In regard to the 16's attending the Parent's night. It's not that we do not want to see you guys but the night is about covering off all the duties that need to be done at the home games at Hylton Moore which do not apply to the 16's.

See you this Wednesday at 7PM

Wednesday 18th April 2012 Parents Meeting

Next Wednesday at 7PM Breakers CC downstairs, we are having a parents meeting to allocate all Game Day Coaches, Managers etc. We will also be dividing the 12's teams on the night. It is really important that all Parents attend this meeting. If you cannot make it please liaise with another Parent or email me what I need to take into consideration.

Also we have had to combine our 16's team with Niagara Park & North Lakes to have enough numbers to be competitive on a weekly basis.The main changes will be that there will be two coaches Dave Grimmond & Max Enders (He plays in our 18's) Matt Bade from Niagara will be managing the team. As the team will be registered as a Terrigal team we will need someone in our 16's to print the team sheets. We agreed to have a common training night on Wednesdays at Niagara 5.30 - 7PM so they can all run together. The reason Tuesday was an issue is due to a number of kids playing multiple codes. Niagara & North Lakes are excited about the future as both clubs were not able to field teams last year. I realise that this is not an ideal situation but it is about giving the kids a run this year and many of these players will be joining Terrigal in the Senior ranks in the future.

 

2012 Draw

The Regional AFL have advised that the draw will be out next week so hopefully I will be able to email it next week.

Training 10th April 2012

There is no training this week! Happy Easter.

2012 AFL Season

The 2012 season is fast approaching and there have been a significant number of changes & information that I need to share.

AFL is to be played on Sundays in 2012 with the exception of under 16's which will continue on Friday nights.

Sundays means that players from other codes such as Soccer, Rugby & League will have the opportunity to play both codes. The AFL will be doing a significant amount of marketing around this and expect an increase in numbers, with this in mind I would like to offer all existing players returning to the club to download the rego form for 2012 from our website below and return to me either via email or post (Michael Murray PO Box 4128 Copacabana NSW 2251) to secure your place. We can sort the payments out either via Direct deposit or on rego day which at this stage is the 19th February.

Age groups for 2012, I have included the year of birth to be eligible for each age group: 

Under 9
2004
2003

Under 10
2002

Under 12
2001

1. I have set up a Junior website for communication purposes www.terrigalavocaafl.com.au 

All information will be posted here, you can easily subscribe to this site.

2. Like all clubs there are many positions vacant this year that need to be filled:

Coaches are required in 9's, 10's, 14's. We have coaches for 12's & 16's however if you would like to be considered for these teams please let me know.

I realize it is difficult to commit to Tuesdays at 4.30pm for coaching so if you are interested in coaching the team on game day then I can arrange some seniors to assist with Tuesdays (please let me know)

Canteen Manager - vacant

All other positions

Managers, Ground Manager, Time Keepers, Goal Umpires - I am going to leave this up to each team to organise this amongst the parents for home games. For the first couple of home games I will have one of our experienced parents show each team how to perform these game functions. (thanks Tony)

I am happy to communicate with all parents via email & sms for all club & game information in 2012 which will leave each the team manager free to organise canteen (when on duty), team sheets, organise balance of roles for home games.

3. Sponsorships: Our goal in 2012 is to have 1 sponsor per team. The sponsorship will cost $500 and will include advertising on our website and on all club emails. Please let me know if you would like to sponsor a team. In addition if you would like to sponsor any equipment or have any other ideas please let me know as all contributions are appreciated.

4. Auskick - This is to be run completely differently in 2012 with the AFL running the clinics at the schools in March and I understand they will be running games later in the season with all clubs meeting at one venue per week. The games will not be at the same venues as the other age groups. 

I would really appreciate anybody who can assist this year within the teams, canteen manager and on the rego days which I have pencilled in for the 19th & 26th February at Breakers CC (to be confirmed)  

Please feel free to call me or email me with any questions.
