The Future: 2008 & Beyond
The Seaforth Football Club (SFC) has provided sport to the local community for 30 years. The Club has grown to 1400 players now & has a new Clubhouse & facilities, improved grounds, upgraded lighting and is the envy of the other Football Clubs in the area.
The success of SFC has the Club fielding a Premier League team in 2009 & plans in place to develop the Ladies to the same level. This will place Seaforth FC as a Major Club in the area.
The Club has reached this position through the tireless efforts of a few dedicated volunteers. Their work has been rewarded through the enjoyment of the players, the friendships with parents and the fantastic facilities now available to Club members, however, there is more to do and MORE VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED for the seasons ahead.
The Club needs to develop its' Premier League team, manage a new Clubhouse, provide Sport facilities for 1400 players, develop Juniors, develop Coaches, develop skills, promote the Club, raise funds and manage the Canteen. This takes a fair bit of work & the old adage, "Many hands make light work" is particularly significant. More volunteers means less work for all.
A review of the Club's Organisational Structure has been completed to identify the positions and roles needed to ensure our future success. The structure is designed to utilise the vast resources within our Club so that, with a few new volunteers, there will be less call on everyone's time and your children (& your children's children) will have the opportunity to continue to play sport in a safe and healthy environment.
The following positions have been identified as essential for taking the Club forward & still meeting our obligations to the Members as well as the compliance with Regulatory & Administrative requirements that are increasing each year.
POSITIONS VACANT (not including all current positions) ARE AS FOLLOWS:-
The filling of these additional positions will require a small amount of work at the start of the season for most, but will have a dramatic impact on spreading & reducing the work that has been done for so long by so few.
Your assistance & commitment will ensure we can continue to provide for your children & the future of this great Club. When you turn up to play or are bringing players, everything is set-up & players just have to get onto the field on time. This does not happen automatically, it is the result of the efforts of a few dedicated volunteers. YOU CAN HELP MAKE THIS EASIER by volunteering to help out with any position that meets your skills.
The rewards are great when you serve your community. The demand on your time will be minimal and we need YOUR SKILLS to ensure our football community can flourish.
Elections will be held at the AGM in December (now Monday 8th December 7.30pm at Seaforth Oval), so please consider how you can help and try and make the commitment that others have made to ensure sport is available for you & your childrens' enjoyment.
Any existing Committee members are only too happy to discuss the benefits of their work,
see the » Contact section for 'phone numbers etc.
Best wishes for the rest of 2008 and looking forward to seeing you all again next Season.

David who? For goals, see Angus
ANGUS Mawson’s dream is one day to bend it like David Beckham, but not even the golden player of English football could match the goal tally of this Neutral Bay kindergarten student.
Angus, aged five, just played his first season with the Seaforth Dragons, for whom he scored an astonishing 37 goals.
Even more remarkable, those goals came in just 15 games.
Such is his talent, Angus has already been selected by Football NSW for its Sydney North elite under-7/8 training program.
“We were very surprised he got selected, considering he was younger than the other kids,” his dad Mark said. “He has always had a ball at his feet since about the age of two.
“Whether it be outside, inside, wherever, we always just hear the ball bouncing up against the wall he just loves it.”
After years of nagging his dad, Angus was finally given the chance to play football.
Never having played against other children before, Mr Mawson said he had no idea what to expect once his son hit the field.
“He had to wait until age five before he was allowed to play, and he said after training that he had a game coming up,” Mr Mawson said.
“His first game was actually against an older team and he managed to get through them and score two goals, and he just loved it.”
Mr Mawson told the Daily that Angus would often dribble the ball past countless defenders and score goals.
And it seems Angus has learnt the Beckham way to celebrate his goals his sister Lizzie said he often runs with his shirt held above his head.
“The coach would often tell him, after he had scored a few and it was clear we were going to win, to ‘start passing the ball around now, Angus’,” Mr Mawson said.
“But sometimes he would get the ball, have no one to pass it to and the coach would say ‘off you go then, Angus’, and sure enough he dribbled around and scored.”
Angus lists his favourite players as David Beckham and Lucas Neill, and, worryingly for future Australian selectors, he wants to play for England one day.
“I like football because I like scoring goals,” he said
And is there any other reason he likes football, the Daily asked: “Because it’s fun,” he said.
And his aim for next season is equally simple and straightforward: “I want to score 39 goals next.”
Angus will now train twice a week with Football NSW.
