Further information is available on our website daptojuniorsoccer.au Welcome The Executive and Management Committee take this opportunity to welcome you to Dapto Junior Football Club for season 2014. The aim of Dapto Junior Football Club is to get children ‘playing’ and enjoying the benefits of participating in a team sport. COACHES Dapto Junior Football Club has a vision on developing our players in all aspects of the game. We would like to target the training and development of our coaches so they can in turn pass on their increased skills and knowledge to the children. DJFC is completely run by volunteers and this includes our coaches. We encourage anyone interested in becoming a coach to speak to a committee member who will help with the necessary steps. Without volunteers to coach we can’t have a team and the children lose out. The majority of committee members not only give up their time to run the club but also to coach, with some of us coaching two teams. GROUND CLOSURES Ground closures are subject to weather and assessment by Wollongong City Council and Dapto Executive and will be updated on our website and Face Book page. Training and competition is NOT allowed on closed grounds and your child is not covered by insurance if they are injured on a closed grounds. Game day ground closures are normally broadcasted on Wave or i98 FM. Please note that one ground being closed does not mean all soccer is cancelled for that weekend and the website should be checked for information. If your child’s coach does not have internet access and you do please assist and distribute the necessary information to your team. INSURANCE Only those registered with Dapto Junior Football Club are covered by the Insurance Policy. Siblings of registered players are not covered nor are you covered if you are injured whilst joining in a training session. We advise you to leave this to your child’s coach. SHINPADS Shin pads and boots are compulsory and must be worn at training sessions and at all matches. All jewellery must be removed. GAME DAY The 1st team of game day must put up the nets up on their field. This isn’t just the job of the coach who also has a team to warm up, so the more helpers the quicker the job.

There will be a map indicating numbered fields for age groups in the canteen.

Nominated offences carry a number of demerit points which are accumulated to the team. The Board will provide a list of offences and penalties each season. Demerit points will be awarded for offences by players, team officials and spectators. When a team accumulates a given number of demerit points they are given a warning including what may constitute further action. When a team accumulates half of their demerit points they are given a first formal warning including what may constitute further action. When a team accumulates three – quarters of their demerit points they are given a second formal warning, including the possibility of being withdrawn from the competition and will be stood down from their next competition match.

Team expulsion will only occur after the team and its Club has appeared before the Board and have failed to show reasonable cause why they should not be expelled. Where it is noted that a club has persistent offenders, the Board may cite the club, if, in its opinion, the Club is not performing its role of Club discipline. PLAYERS CODE OF FAIR PLAY • Play by the rules. • Never argue with a referee or assistant referee. If you disagree, have the captain, coach or manager approach the official on your behalf. • Control you temper. Verbal abuse of officials and sledging other players, deliberately distracting or provoking an opponent are not acceptable or permitted behaviours in football. • Work equally hard for yourself and your team. Your teams performance will benefit and so will you. • Be a good sport, recognise all good plays whether they are part of your team or the opposition. • Treat all participants in soccer as you like to be treated. Do not bully or take unfair advantage of other competitors. • Cooperate with your coach, teammates and opponents.
