President's Report 17 June 2009

Hello and welcome.

Hope everyone has had another fantastic week. Following our monthly soccer meeting that was held last week, a few issues/topics have arisen and I have been asked to put them forward in this week’s edition of E off the Post.

Woollies grant successful!
A while back the soccer club applied for a grant through Woolworths Fresh Food Kids Community Grants, and we are pleased to announce that we have been successful. The money will be used to go toward shade shelters. I will have more information as time goes on. A HUGE thanks to the effort put in by Venetia to receive this grant.

Why recycling matters
I'm not an active member of Greenpeace, but recycling can only help the environment. We can all benefit from recycling things from around the house, work, or during our leisure time. Over the next few weeks our soccer committee members are going to organise for all of us to take part in recycling. We will start off by having a bin for our empty cans, which will be located at the canteen. This is a fantastic opportunity for our kids to see, be participants, and that as a club we are doing our bit for the environment.

Performance of young referees
Positive feedback has been a hot topic this week among the parents regarding our young refs. Juliet has mentioned praise from a Samford U10's mother about Billy Hohns manner with the children, also the performance of Travis Vetier refereeing the U7's was also excellent. Well done boys keep up the great job your doing. All of our young refs are doing a fantastic job and we are all very proud to have them as part of our soccer club.

Safety during matches
Another issue that was mentioned during the meeting was the importance of spectators not cutting corners during games. This is a concern for young children being knocked down by players, as well as respecting the playing field.Comments were made to me on Saturday about the speed in which cars have entered and exited the oval parking area. We cannot say slow down to each and every driver. Lets put the safety first of each and everyone of us who meets for our matches/training.

Chelsea coaching clinic
We need more Dayboro players!(the original post for this is in E off the post Edition 9) The Development Camps will run from Monday, 6 July until Friday, 10 July and are currently being staged at Albany Creek (from 1-4 pm) or Narangba (2-5 pm), however if we can get 16 players from Dayboro, a clinic will be able to run at our very own ground. At the moment we are well on the way to getting 16 players.The cost of the course is $175 per player, however if we get the numbers we will also get a 10% discount which will mean the cost will be $157.50, so now is the time to act. Please send an e-mail to Scott Whitaker (U12 Coach) at info@doggett.com.au with your child's name, age group and the following details:

1) I will register my child regardless of the venue (Dayboro, Albany Creek or Narangba) or

2) I will register my child, only if the clinic is held in Dayboro.
