Season – 2015
Round 5
It’s certainly been a wet few weeks with the grounds closed for both training and matches due to all of the rain.
With the sun shining it looks like we’re back on track to play our scheduled round 5 matches this weekend and
get back onto the training field next week. The rained off round 3 & 4 matches have been rescheduled and the
dates are now up on the draw so please make sure that you check the draw for the revised schedule for all
matches.
We also have our first social event of the year, the Kids Disco, happening in a couple of weeks so things are
certainly moving again both on and off the field.
Have a great weekend, enjoy the sunshine and have fun!
Yours in soccer
The Minchinbury Jets Soccer Club Committee
Kids Disco
Our first social event of the year is our Kids Disco. This will be held on Saturday 23rd May at Minchinbury
Community Centre, Minchin Drive, Minchinbury from 6:30pm to 9:30pm. The cost will be $5 per child parents will be admitted free of charge. Our fancy dress theme this year will to come dressed in your favourite
football team’s colours. We will also have lucky door and best dressed prizes.
We will have a full canteen running on the night, including our usual Barbeque, so parents can have the night
off from cooking.
Round 3 & 4 Catch Up Matches
Round 3 & 4 have now been rescheduled and the details are now up on the website draw. The only exception
to this is our Masters teams (O30 women and O35 Men) who are still to have a decision on the round 4 match
made by the association.
Here’s a run through of the rescheduled matches (please check the online draw for any changes).
Round 3 – All round 3 matches have been moved to the June Long Weekend. Masters will play Friday 5th
June, Saturday teams will play Saturday 6th June and Sunday teams will play Sunday 7th June.
Round 4 – Our All Age Ladies will play their round 4 matches on Friday 8th May.
Our All Age Men’s teams will play their catch up on Friday 5th June
Our Saturday teams and our Sunday Girls teams (U7, U12, U14 & U16 Girls) will play theirs on Monday 8th
June.
Club Website
The easiest way to get the latest information on our club is via our club website. Our website address is
www.minchinburyjets.net. Our website also contains links to the Blacktown Soccer Association website and
contains all that you need to keep up with the latest in our club.
The Draw
The draw for the early rounds of the competition is now available online. Please go to our club website and
click on the ‘Draw” link. This will take you to the online draw on the Blacktown Association’s web site. As some
teams are still dropping out we ask that you check the draw on Thursday or Friday each week to ensure that
your match time and venue has not changed. Please do not print out copies of the season draw as it can
change and you may end up missing kick-off times if you do this.
Wet Weather Information
In the event of wet weather we will contact your team coach and manager as soon as we are made aware of
ground closures. Our club website also has information on ground closure. Alternatively you can call the
Blacktown Council wet weather line on 9839 6575 or check out the Blacktown Council website on
www.blacktown.nsw.gov.au. Players are asked to contact their team officials if they are unsure of ground
closures. Please do not assume that matches are cancelled just because it’s raining.
Weekly Match Fees
All players are reminded that they must pay a weekly match fee.
Fees are payable for all matches (except byes and forfeits by the opposition). As these fees contribute towards
players end of season presentation they are payable for all matches regardless of whether you play or not. In
the event of long term illness or injury your team manager will ask the committee for a dispensation on the
payment of fees. The weekly match fees are: Small Sided Games players (U5 to U11) - $5 per week.
Junior Comp teams (U12 to U16) - $6 per week. U20’s - $7 per week.
Please help your team manager by paying to them as soon as you arrive for your match every week. It’s much
easier for you to approach your team manager than for them to have to chase up a whole team for fees.
Outstanding Registration Fees
We still have some players that have outstanding registration fees. Emails have been sent to these players to
remind them of their fees due. We ask that these players settle these outstanding fees quickly. Players who
continue to have outstanding fees will have their players ID card withdrawn until these fee are paid.
Playing Strip & Club Gear
As well as having our uniform for sale, the club also has a range of club gear (polo shirts, jackets, caps,
beanies, sweat bands etc) on display and for sale at the club canteen. EFTPOS facilities are available and
we can also accept Mastercard and Visa Card for purchases.
Trivia Night
Our annual Trivia Night is back by popular demand. This year’s Trivia Night will be held on Saturday 18th July
at Minchinbury Community Centre, Minchin Drive, Minchinbury. We will be having a Christmas in July theme
for the night. More details will be in our next newsletter.
