Registrations & Grading

This begins Monday the 13th February and will be for 3 consecutive weeks, with the final grading being Monday the 27th. This will give Coaches and co-ordinators plenty of time to make sure your child is put into right team so they can enjoy their football. March will then be the time for the coaches to prepare the team for the upcoming season.

It is important that all Junior players are registered over these coming weeks due to the fact the club has grown considerably over the last 2 years and the logistics for our volunteers means it is a big job! Start times for the grading are as follows

• 8th / 9th /10th Grade 5.30-6.30pm
• 11th / 12th / 13th / 14th / 15th Grade 6.30-7.30pm

Grading this season will be based on small sided games 4v4 or 5v5 so please make sure your child is wearing not only boots but shin pads as well.

Fees

A lot of work has been put in the structure of fees and, unfortunately, we have had to raise fees for the 2012 season. The Club made a significant loss of $14,000 last season due to the phenomenal growth in our Junior section, coupled with the fact the club struggles for volunteers to help with fundraising events. The committee has also given consideration to the club fees of other clubs surrounding BMAFC area to ensure we are continuing to provide the best value for our members.

The fees have also been tiered this year which reflects the different charges for the age groups from AFF (Auckland Football Federation) and New Zealand Football.

• 4-6 year old $80
• 7-8 year old $100
• 9th-12th Grade $115
• 13th-15th Grade $125
• Students $190
• Seniors $230

From 2013 Juniors will have to provide their own shorts as the club cannot afford to keep supplying them, especially as so many people do not return their kit complete at the end of the season . So for the 2012 when your child is put into a team and given their strip for the season, they will be able to keep the shorts which may see them out for the 2013 season as well. The club did contemplate selling the shorts to try and raise some funds but the committee decided it best to give them to members to offset the price increase.

Whole of Football Plan

This comes into effect for the 2012 season for 4-8 year olds and we will be holding an open day on Saturday the 18th February @ Te Puru if you are interested in seeing how your child will benefit

• 10:00 am Junior Intro to Coaching (FDO)
• 12:00 pm Lunch Break
• 12:15 pm Parent Presentation (FDO)
• 12:45 pm Promo Event (This can form the practical component of Junior Intro to Coaching giving our newly qualified Game Leaders an opportunity to put their skills into practise with a group of players, 24 7-8)
• 1:45pm Finish & Pack up

We are forming a "cluster" with Clevedon which will give the "whole of football plan" some real depth and hopefully ease the work l oad on some of us.

4-6 year olds will be held every Saturday @ Te Puru once the season starts and 7-8 year olds will alternate between Te Puru & Clevedon, start times and dates TBA.
