Park Orchards North Ringwood ParishHi all Sharks,
The first few rounds of every season are a little unsettled. The Veterans in the club understand this. To our new families, all will settle down in the next week or two.
This Sunday is sponsored by Warran Glen Nursery and Café
The YJFL grading process is being applied – results are all over the shop.
Coaches are trying to work through their lists to ensure everyone is getting a go.
Team Managers are working through the administration processes required around game day. Wow, these folks do heaps to keep our kids on the park.
The canteen manager is trying to work out how to calculate appropriately the desired levels of food and drinks that should be ordered for each week.
With sponsorship we need all to make a difference in our great club with monetary pledges of support. This year we have barely reached our starting target, however, if you are able to help, please contact myself and make a difference.
Committee are continually bombarding everyone with the information necessary to ensure your child gets a game of football each week & the club runs correctly.
And on it goes…
Thanks go to our Committee members in attendance each week, for their assistance and help. They have been up early working with TM’s & crews in setting up our grounds at Domeney and Stintons for each match day and pack up procedures. Hopefully, all teams now know the requirements. If at any time you’re not sure please call us to help you out. I would rather know match day than 9pm at night.
For the majority of our membership, your calm will be restored by round five or six once the season’s fixture is sent out by the YJFL and thus we can all get on with enjoying the season and watching our children play.
Mother’s Day – Sponsored by Warran Glen Nursery and Café
This Sunday is MOTHER’S DAY Round 5 – Reminder to all Dads & Players!
Sharks Pink Ribbon Day is a fund raising event for the Breast Cancer Foundation. We are continuing with this Tradition of Fund raising for such a worthy and important cause again this year. I am sure many of us have been/or are affected by a person close to us who has been diagnosed with Breast Cancer.
The Sharks Committee fully support the initiative and ask that all Team Managers circulate an email amongst the playing groups advising all of Sharks Pink Ribbon Day this weekend. We request that each player please bring a Gold coin donation to the game (home & away) as we strive to raise money and beat 2019’s amount. We would like to raise as much as possible for the Breast Cancer Foundation on this year’s Mother’s Day Weekend – Sunday 9th May 2021.
Two Mum’s from each, (including Auskick), will win prizes donated by Warran Glen, our Sponsor of the Round. Also remember Club Ringwood are offering a High Tea on the Saturday beforehand.
Pink buckets will be placed at the Canteen or coffee trucks to help with these and further collections.
Code of Conduct – Match Day
Thank you our Sharks parents who have abided with exemplary behaviour over the first few rounds. Your support has been enthusiastic whilst being controlled in cheering on the players.
Let us keep it that way please & set an example for other clubs to follow.
Unfortunately, there are times when parental behaviour does not abide by the Code of Conduct that we all sign at the beginning of the year. I know we all get passionate at times, but please remember there are young ears listening in to what we say.
If you notice any inappropriate behaviour, please inform your team Manager immediately. This will allow us to address the behaviour and ensure the safety & welfare of all players on the ground.
Injuries
A couple of Sharks players have suffered a variety of injuries up to this point of the season, so it’s timely to let you all know that we are insured. The YJFL has an injury insurance policy through JLT Insurance that provides not only players but also parents/helpers etc… An information sheet is available on our website. If you require further information please give us a call.
YJFL Grading Process
The process has one more week to go. Coaches wishing to make recommendations need to lodge with our Y.J.F.L. Director immediately. If you have any questions regarding the above, then please call Damian.
Merchandise
If you require any garments, socks etc. please go online and order it. Nina and her team will make sure it’s available in the quickest time available.
Summary
During the season if you wish to raise any queries then please catch up with me in person or give me a call.
Wishing everyone all the very best for Round 4. I wish the lucky Mum’s all the best with their selections at Warran Glen. Enjoy Mother’s Day.
Go Sharks!!
