Subject: Sign On with Gympie Diggers Football for 2012 Season - 4th and 11th February 2010
Sign on will be held on Saturday 4th February and Saturday 11th February from 9.ooam to 2.oopm at the One Mile Ovals Football Gympie Clubhouse.
Football registrations are heading 'online' this year.
Go to 'MyFootballClub' (FFA site) in order to register ahead.
For players who have played before in Australia in the last 5 years, it's a simple process of following the prompts and filling out the forms as you go.
If you haven't played in Australia in the last 5 years and need to enter Club details in the process - enter "Gympie Diggers Football Club Inc " and just keep following the prompts.
For online registrations from home, you can direct debit the fees into the Gympie Diggers Account (see details of Diggers account number on registration receipt, and use your name as 'reference') to complete the registration process, or you can fill in the online registration 'as pending' and come down and complete the process by paying with cash, cheque, through the EFTPOS, or with credit card on sign-on days. Contact Treasurer Kylee Gerrard for our account details on 5482 4710. For more details stay tuned as we iron out the final stages of this new FFA initiative.
Please note the 'Age Group Policy' from FFA which is pretty much saying that all players must play within their respective age divisions and it is deemed that the age divisions will be across a single year level, starting at Under 5 through under 11 being SSG teams and competitive age from U12 through U18 within their respective age levels, meaning U12, U13, U14, U15, U16, U17, U18. Under 18 players will not be allowed to play in senior divisions at this stage. Final sorting of age divisions will be decided at Football Gympie Meetings after sign-ons, but at this stage it is looking likely that you will be divided into your registered age division and will play in that age division - only.
As soon as we have confirmation of your payment of all fees, as acknowledged through the bank account (ahead of sign-on days) or with completion of player registrations on sign-on days or thereafter - including full payment of relevant fees, the player registering will then be automatically placed into any available slot on a Diggers team within their age division.
In competitive age divisions, player registrations that are fully paid confirmations are activated after verification by our treasurer. The player is then allocated the first available slot within a Diggers team in the player's respective age division. Each subsequent fully completed registration is slotted in until a full team of 14 players are allocated. That Diggers side is then finalised. This process may seem different from previous years, but it is the FFA model that Football Gympie has been directed to adopt this year. Let's get in and see how it all works.
So get keen, get signed up, and get into the new season.
If you need assistance in signing up, please come to the sign-on days at the One Mile Football Gympie Clubhouse and speak to one of our friendly Registrars Shirl Toffoli or Karen Chamberlain or any of the Diggers Committee who'll be on the ground in force and they'll be most helpful in getting things through for you. EFTPOS, cash, cheque and credit card facilities will be available on the sign-on days.
Gympie Diggers Football Club Meetings
Meetings are conducted by the Committee for and on behalf of all Members. All Members and Supporters are most welcome, and are encouraged to attend. New faces are always welcome. Coach, Manager and Parent Rep from each team is invited to attend. Have your say on any matter of concern. Gympie Diggers Club Meetings are usually held on the 2nd Monday of each month throughout the Season. Meetings usually start at around 6.3opm in the Gympie Show Society's Office, at the Gympie showgrounds - in the middle, across the track.
The next meeting is scheduled for 6.3opm, Monday, 13th February 2o12 - please note the venue is now the Show Society's office at the showgrounds.
Sports Med Centre
If you need strapping tape applied in the correct way, go across to the Sports Med Centre next to Fields One and Two. There the qualified staff can apply strapping tape to any of your joints that may require support. An even bigger bonus is that if you supply your own tape, the fee is waivered. If you don't supply your own tape, a fee of $5 per taping applies.
High quality strapping tape in a good sized roll is available from the Clubhouse canteen at a cost of $12 per roll.
Also available is sports massage which relies on a donation in return for the service.
PICTURES
In relation to the pictures on our site - be advised that at registration, each player or parent or guardian signed a registration form that enabled the Club full use of imagery and name for publicity and promotional purpose in whatever medium. Be advised, that as a courtesy to Members, the Committee discussed an option where an individual can appeal to the Club in writing asking for an exclusion. Any submission request for exclusion must be in writing and must detail the reason for the exclusion request. On the basis of the submission, the Committee will assess each request and make any necessary accommodations. A submission does not guarantee exclusion, but efforts will be made to appreciate any special circumstance. Mail your exclusion request here.
