FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FOR
NEW PLAYERS / PARENTS OF SUB-JUNIORS
(Under 6, 7 and 8)

Q: WHAT DO WE NEED TO SUPPLY ?
A: Shin Pads and plain black shorts are compulsory (both are for sale on registration days).
Football boots with moulded studs only (no steel or screw- in studs).
Seaforth FC supply socks (to keep) and shirts.

Q: SO WE HAVE REGISTERED OUR CHILD, WHAT HAPPENS NEXT ?
A: The players will be allocated into teams by the Sub-Junior Co-ordinator,
Kym Weekes – email: sfcjuniors@optusnet.com.au or Ph: 0421 781 338.
This will take approx. 3-4 weeks from the final registration day (11th February 2006).
Allocations are generally based on: a) who the child would like / has nominated to play with,
b) the school they attend or c) the area they live in.

Q: WHO WILL LET ME KNOW WHICH TEAM MY CHILD IS IN ?
A: If no parents in the team have volunteered to be a manager or coach, Kym will initially
appoint one parent as the contact. This person may or may not become the manager or coach. A
team contact list will be faxed or e- mailed to this person, who will then contact the other parents,
advising them of the team name, players etc. We suggest arrangements are made to have
a quick get together at a local park or oval etc. where the coach and manager can be appointed
by the team. There will be a Manager's Meeting which will be held on or about 20th March when
the kit will be issued containing shirts etc.

Q: WHEN WILL TRAINING BE ?
A: This is up to the coach to decide the training day and time.
Please note the only approved training fields for Seaforth FC are: Seaforth oval, Condover
reserve, Manly West oval, Tania Park & Balgowlah Nth Public School (top oval).
NB: Currently only Manly West & Balgowlah ovals have lights.

Q: WHEN IS THE FIRST AND LAST GAME ?
A: The first game is normally 1st week of April and the last game will be late August followed by the Seaforth Gala Day in late August/early September (date to be advised).

Q: WHERE DO WE PLAY ?
A: Seaforth Oval has 3 mini fields, Condover reserve 2, and Tania Park has 2, all of which are "home' grounds for Seaforth FC - please check your draw for full details.
The Manly Warringah Football Association (MWFA) extends from Avalon in the north,
Mosman in the south and Forestville/Killarney/Terry Hills in the west.
The manager will be provided with a list of ground locations. you can also check the Ground Locations section on this website.

Q: DO THEY PLAY IN SCHOOL HOLIDAYS ?
A: Generally no game is scheduled for the middle week of the holidays, but please check the draw for full details.

Q: WHAT TIME DO THEY PLAY ?
A: Generally the U6´s play at 8.30am or 9.15am, with the U7´s mid- morning (ie: 10.00am /
10.45am) followed by the U8´s mid to late morning with the last game kick off at 12.15pm.

Q: DO THEY PLAY IN THE RAIN?
A: Yes, all games are considered ON unless notified to the contrary. Games are generally only
called off when the grounds are too wet for safe play (2-3 days of heavy rain prior to the
weekend). The Wet Weather section on the website has additional information on this matter.

Q: WHAT IS EXPECTED FROM US BY THE SEAFORTH FC ?
A: Apart from supporting your child from the sidelines and enjoying watching them playing the
world game, there are a couple of duties during the year that the club seeks your support in.
The manager will be issued with a duty roster that may require your team to either put up the
nets &/or take them down &/or man the canteen or the BBQ at Seaforth oval on a Saturday morning.
The club will also hold various fundraising activities during the year (ie dinner dance, raffles etc) and your support of these activities is strongly encouraged & appreciated.
Communication is the key to a smooth running and successful club and we therefore recommend that you register with the new Online Info Service via the club´s website (see below), as well as reading the weekly newsletter which your manager should pick up from Seaforth oval on Saturday mornings.

Q: WHAT IF I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION ?
A: If you have not heard from anyone by the 15th March regarding team allocation please contact
Kym Weekes for details.
Once the team has allocated a manager, ALL questions should be referred to the manager in the
first instance, as the Managers Manual addresses many other issues.
If the manager can not answer the question, then the manager should contact the appropriate
person within the club.
