How to Register for 2012

Committee’s Welcome


First, a big welcome to all players, parents and supporters to season 2012 including those that are new to the club. To the players, we hope that you enjoy your football, build on your skills and continue to get pleasure from the friendship and camaraderie of your team mates. We also encourage you to bring down any of your mates who may want to play football so that they can do the same.

To parents, we also hope that you enjoy watching the kids play and ask that you support them in a positive way at all times. We encourage you to get involved as much as you can with the club whether it be in an official role, helping your team or just supporting social functions etc. It’s a great way to meet new people and make new friends.

Full details for player registration for 2012 are provided in the attachments below. We look forward to seeing you on registration day if not before.

Fun Run

To kick off the 2012 season we will be holding a fun run to coincide with registration day (subject to council approval). We are running this in collaboration with the netball club, cricket club senior footy club and 'Run Warrandtye'.  This is an exciting opportunity to profile the Warrandyte sports precinct, get fit, raise some funds and more importantly have some fun at the start of the season.

For Warrandyte Junior Football Club Players there will be an opportunity to enter as a team and prizes will be offered for the fastest team as well as the fastest individual players over the various distances.


 A special request from the President


 I have to say it was most disappointing to have such a very small number of parents attend our recent annual general meeting (in fact nobody who is not on the current Committee attended!).
 
As a result of such a poor attendance, there were no volunteers come forward to be appointed to the following positions this year:
 

  • Secretary
  • Treasurer
  • Grounds Manager (can be shared)
  • Football Operations x 2 (or preferably 3)
  • Club Liaison and Promotion – (includes Warrandyte Diary and updating website)

 All too often in community groups, responsibilities fall to the same people year in and year out.  The problem we now face at Warrandyte Junior Football club is that there are a number of committee members with players in the upper age groups who will be leaving the club at the end of this year.  It seems sensible to put your hand up to join the committee while these members are still around so you can “pick their brains”.  At the end of the 2012 season, we will also need to find a new President, Property Manager and Sponsor Coordinator.  If you are interested in seeing the Club go forward on a positive note, now would be a good time to put up your hand while these members are still around.  
 
Please give it some thought.  The committee meets once a month (usually the first Monday) for an hour or so.  It is not a huge commitment for a great gain to your children.  I would hate to see the club fold or run down for lack of parent involvement.
 
PLEASE GIVE THIS SOME VERY CAREFUL CONSIDERATION – IT’S NOT AN ENORMOUS TASK!
 

If you are interested in discussing any of these roles or other ways that you might be able to support the club please give me a ring on 0411 137 179.
 
Lets make 2012 a big year for the Warrandyte Junior Football Club and use it as a springboard for our next generation of players and parents to take over the baton of leadership of this unique and very special club.
 

GO BLOODS !!!
 
Steve Ballard
President
