Helpers needed

There is a lot of work that goes into setting up the grounds each week. For our home games we ask that parents assist by helping the Coaches, Team Managers and Grounds Manager by marking our grounds and picking up any rubbish/sticks/stones/dog poo that we don’t want players to land on (gloves provided). It’s usually the Under 9 parents that get this fun job, but it is important that the grounds are safe to play on. We also need helpers at the end of the day to pack up after the last game – many hands make light work!

Information for Volunteers

Last week the club has rolled out BlueQ. This is a database, chosen by the NFL, to store and administer our compliance with Child Safe Standards, first aid training and coaching courses. The many wonderful volunteers in our club will have received an email about how to load up their details. Please let Kirsty (secretary@njfc.com.au) know if you have not received the email. This initiative will be a significant aid to ensuring we do all we can to keep our children safe and provide up to date training to all those teaching our kids how to play the game.

Footy Photo Etiquette

Photos of kids in action enjoying their football are great, but please be aware that not all families are comfortable with having their child’s image captured. If you are taking photos of your child’s team please check with your Team Manager in case there are any children in your team who don’t wish to be photographed.

Milestone Games

NJFC presents plaques to players who achieve 50 or 100 games for the Club, but we ask that parents arrange their own run through banners (if they wish) to celebrate the milestone. A cougar logo and some letter templates are available if you would like to make your own, and there are various companies around that you can purchase banners from if not. Instructions on how to make a banner can be found on the website.
