Female Football Week Wrap

What a big Female Football week! We hope some of you took part in the events run by Capital Football and enjoyed the spirit of the week at training and games.

The biggest news from the week is that Belnorth legend, Kat Newman, was awarded Capital Football’s FFW Community Champion of the Year award. The award is well deserved recognition for an essential cog and valued life member of Belnorth.

Thanks, Kat for everything that you do!

Lastly, don’t forget, there is still time to get your photos in for FFW Photo Comp, you have until 12 pm Friday to enter. Details available later in this newsletter.

Child Supervision

Parents must always keep tabs on their children and be alert to and aware of risks and hazards along with the potential for accidents and injury throughout training and competition.

Ensure that there is always appropriate supervision where the change room/toilet facility is accessible by adults or in ‘public’ change rooms/toilets.

See something, say something.

If you need to confirm your designated training field and slot, please contact grounds@belnorth.org or your registrar.  

No Kicking Balls Against Shipping Containers

We ask that parents, coaches and managers, tell their players to not kick balls against the club’s shipping containers at Kaleen.
