Shirts for senior teams are also available at $40 each.
For further information please contact the Equipment Officer or the Assistant Equipment Officer.
Coaches & Managers
All teams will need a Coach & Manager. However for the U6 & U7 age groups, team numbers will be smaller (only
5 to 6 players per team), and whilst each team will need a manager, it may be beneficial to partner two teams for
coaching and training purposes.
Training normally occurs once a week for 1 hour. If you would be interested in coaching a team, in what is a
rewarding experience please contact the Head Coach or one of the Assistant Coaches prior to the grading trials.
Forms are available at the registration tables.
There will be two coaches and managers meetings held throughout the season.
th
The first meeting will be held at Club Central Menai, on Monday 9 March at 7.30pm.
It is vital that at least one representative from each team attend these meetings as important information is provided on all
aspects of the season. It is also an opportunity to ask any questions you may have.
Orientation Night
To assist all coaches and managers and provide information on what to do, where to go, what forms need to be
th
filled out etc, an orientation session will be run on Wednesday 25 February at 7.00pm at Billa Rd Oval. This is
particularly helpful for all new coaches and managers.
Training Equipment
th
Coaches and/or managers can collect their training equipment on Wednesday 25 February, between 6:30pm &
8.00pm at Billa Rd Oval.
Sponsorship
The club again welcomes our sponsors this year and encourages all club members to give the club's sponsors the
first call. The club will provide advertising space on its website, as well as other promotional opportunities. If
interested please contact the Promotions Officer.
Referees
We need referees for our Small Sided Football (SSF) matches. SSF referees must turn 13 or older this calendar year. If you
are interested, please see the referee’s coordinator today or on grading day.
In addition, we need volunteers (usually senior players, parents etc) to referee competition matches when no official referee
is appointed. If you feel you can assist us please contact the referee’s coordinator.
For anyone wishing to become a Black & White referee (must turn 14 before April 1), or if you want to become a club
referee and want a refresher course on the rules, the Referees Association will assist us to run our own in house course if
we get sufficient numbers. Please contact one of our referee’s coordinators if you are interested.
All club referees will be paid for the games they cover. Fee structure is as follows:
SSF Non competition matches (U6-U7) $10
SSF Non competition matches (U8-U9) $15
SSF Competition matches (U10-U11) $20
Junior matches (U12-U16)
$25
Senior matches (U18 & above)
$40
Ground Control and Canteen
Throughout the season, teams will be rostered to do ground duty. This involves ground set up/pack up, BBQ duty
or acting as ground control. Teams rostered on will be advised at least a week in advance. Please make yourself
available when your team is on duty.
In most instances your team will only have duty twice in the season. This means we are only asking for a couple
of hours of your time, perhaps less, on each occasion. Ground duty forms an essential part of the weekly running
of the club. If a team cannot carry out their required duty, it could mean that particular team may not be allowed to
play their match.
Committee & Volunteers
At the time of printing this information sheet, there IS TWO committee positions vacant - Assistant
Draw Secretary and Male All Age Delegate.
If you feel you may be able to assist in these positions, please contact the President.
The club is also looking for volunteers that may be able to assist committee members on ground control once or twice
during the season, or when situations arise that require extra help with field set up, pack up or working on the BBQ, or in
any other way that the club may need you in an emergency. If you are interested in assisting the club in this way, please fill
in one of the application forms or contact a committee member. Application forms are available at all registration days and
also at our grading days.

Notes on Grading
This is a difficult task, made more difficult when players do not turn up to the grading days.
If your son/daughter is unable to make these dates it is important that you let the Head Coach know beforehand. Players
not attending may be excluded from teams.
If there is any information that is relevant to the grading process please let the Head Coach know this prior to the grading
date. It is highly unlikely that any changes can be made after teams are selected.
Whilst the club has a policy of attempting to meet requests to play with friends for U6 & U7, no absolute guarantees can be
given as individual players abilities must be taken into consideration. The Club’s experience is that children will enjoy their
football more if they play in a grade that is aligned to their ability. No one wins if a child is under or over graded.
For U8’s and above, teams will be selected based upon the matching of players’ abilities, although extenuating
circumstances will be considered.
Trial Games
Trial games are being arranged at present. It is possible that not all teams will get a trial game, however all efforts will be
made to get at least one trial match for all teams.
Under NO circumstances are trial games to be organized without going through Bangor FC Committee.
Coaches and Managers will be informed as to any games that have been arranged for their teams.
Training Venue’s
Training cannot commence before Monday 2nd March 2015
Teams U6 through to U12 & girls/women’s teams will train at Billa Road Oval.
Boys/means teams U13 and above will train at The Ridge (No.1 & 2).
Some exceptions to this may occur depending on field availability and training times.
