CLUB POLICY CONCERNING REGISTRATION
All registrations received up to and including registration day (accompanied by payment) will be accepted in principal, but are always subject to there being a vacancy in the relevant team.
• Under 6 – Under 9 teams: We will register up to 20 players in each team. Maximum of 15 on the field at any one time
• Under 10–Under 16:  teams will comprise a squad of 24 (with a max of 28).
• It is club policy that players play in their age group.  (note due to certain circumstances with extra numbers this year there are specific issues with players in the U12 and U13 age group –please consult with David Chapman for more information)
• When there a 2 teams playing in the same age group from U11 - U16 there will be a team in the Red and White division, that is, an “A” and a “B” team. The selection process will be determined by the Committee in conjunction with the coaches.

In the event that there are more players registered than vacancies in the relevant team, the following applies:
• Preference is given to those who played for WJFC the immediate preceding season.
• Previous association with the club, player/sibling of a player/parent, will be given due consideration
• If there are more players registered than vacancies in the relevant team, then it is for the team coach, the coaching subcommittee and the WJFC Committee to make a decision on which players will fill the relevant team.

TRAINING
Once the player numbers and coaches have been confirmed, this information will be provided by the coaches and team managers, who will give you specific information regarding your team and training times etc.  Training for our younger age groups normally commences late March.

Fitting for jumpers, shorts, socks and jacket sizes etc can only occur on the day otherwise they may not be ordered in time for delivery prior to the start of the season. As such please refer to our sizing chart on the website as a guideline for sizes. All must be paid for on Rego Day.   If you are ordering uniform items online then please email to enquiries@wjfc.com.au your players name, and the item and size you require by Sunday 5 February.

JUMPERS - The Club provides jumpers for Under 6 to Under 11 teams - free of charge on a loan basis.  We do not need your size if in U6 - U11.

These jumpers remain the property of the WJFC and are to be returned in good condition at the end of the season.  They will be distributed to players at the jumper presentation night prior to the first game. All players must have their own WJFC shorts and socks, which are available for purchase through the club.

All players U/12–U/15 need their own jumper. New players will be allocated vacant numbers according to their team’s list.
The club will try to allocate identical numbers for siblings so that jumpers can be passed down.

SHORTS / SOCKS - The Club wears royal blue shorts and royal blue & white hooped socks.

WARMUP JACKETS -  are required by all players playing for premiership points, that is, players playing in teams Under 11–Under 15.

All U11s and new players in U12 – U15 will be provided with a warm-up jacket by the club at no cost to parents.
Players in U12 – U15 requiring a new warm-up jacket can order and pay for this on the day
Players in U6-U10s are not eligible to obtain jackets at this stage.

All uniform and merchandise will be ordered after Registration Day and will be distributed to Coaches prior to the season commencing – normally quite close to the start of the season.  Please liaise with your Team Manager for uniform delivery.

Sizing Information:  Please refer to our website for sizing information - www.wjfc.com.au

CAN’T MAKE IT THAT DAY???
By registering online and paying via EFT means you do not have to attend registration day, unless you would like to size up uniform items etc. 
Registration forms and payment can be posted to the Registrar (not Club Secretary (contact details above) prior to Registration Day. Registrations received prior to Registration Day are deemed as being received on Registration Day.

WE ARE VOLUNTEERS
Please remember the Walkerville Junior Football Club operates due to the voluntary work of many and parents/carers are expected to assist in a range of tasks including goal umpiring, time keeping, assisting the coach, cooking the BBQ etc. Parents/carers will be rostered on to assist with these jobs usually twice during the season and it is a condition of registration that parents/carers agree to assist when required. We thank you all for your continued help.

The Committee encourages all parents to remain at matches to support their children and team.

COACHES AND TEAM MANAGERS
The Coaches and Team Managers at WJFC are normally parents. We welcome your involvement and will offer support and help show you the ropes.
Most Coaches, Team Managers, and their kids, find it a richly rewarding experience.

Coaches volunteer their time to coach a weekly training session, the match and attend some club training and functions.

Team Managers are the glue that binds the children, parents, and Club together. They organise the rosters, team communications, kit bag etc. Training is provided for this role.
 
As we are a child safe and child friendly club all Coaches and Team Managers have police checks on their suitability for working with children and are expected to follow the Code of Conduct, Zero Tolerance and Racial Vilification Policy available from our website.

Coaches also receive/need Current Level 1 Accreditation. The club will fund this short course – and our Director of Coaching Peter Corrie will organise it with you.
To further assist coaches we will be organising club coaching clinics, information sessions and visits from AFL/SANFL players.

Coaches and Team Managers are appointed by the WJFC Committee who seek nominations, or may approach parents to fill the roles. 
If you think you may be interested in Coaching please contact Club Vice Chairman – David Chapman on 0420 308 992 to discuss. 
Or if you want to just dip your toe into the water before diving in – you can express interest in an assistant coaching position with any age group.

If you would like to contribute as a Team Manager, positions are open, just speak with your Coach and Tania Turner, WJFC Secretary and Team Manager Coordinator.

FOOTBALL BOOT TRADING STALL

Got a pair of boots that are suddenly too small but too good to throw out? Need another pair to replace them?

Recognizing that young football players usually grow out of their football boots before they wear them out we organize a football boot trading/swap stall on Registration Day. 

 

If you’ve got some boots that are now too small but too good to throw out please deliver them clean and tied together to the Clubrooms on Sunday 5^th February

 

 

Families can then size up on the day.  FOOTBALL BOOTS WILL BE FREE The success of this free service depends on the generosity of our football community. Any excess boots are donated to football playing communities less well off than ours.

OLD JUMPERS and SHORTS 

The WJFC is happy to accept donations of (clean) jumpers, shorts or jackets that children have grown out of. Please bring any donations on Registration Day.

GO CATS!!!
