The NJFC Committee has reviewed the survey findings and the player feedback and made the following recommendations for 2019:
· Increase response rate of survey by more promotion on Club website, Facebook and newsletter, and by asking Team Managers to promote more amongst teams
· Address communication issues by refining collection of preferred email address/es on registration form for pre-season communication
· Develop a plan for more engaged training sessions, including a model to assist coaches with session planning, building consistency and enabling input from experienced coaches
· Review canteen pricing and foods available before 2019 season and investigate what options members want
· Investigate team specific issues
· U14s still concerned about having enough players for a 2019 U15 team. NJFC is DEFINITELY planning on having an U15 team in 2019 – there are 24 players in this squad at the end of the 2018 season, which is a much stronger position than the U14 team were in at the end of 2017 (17 players)
· Social events:
– Parents
– Players event/s on non-training night
– Team event (for each team) at start of season where expectations and coaching approaches can be communicated
· Continue with development of facilities masterplan
· Consider player leadership mechanism, e.g. Club captain, player committee
