Season 2012

Join us on Facebook   http://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/tullamarinefc/ 

The Tullamarine Football Club has reached a turning point. We no longer will settle for last, second last or the bottom of the ladder. The club has made a few changes for 2012 to try and help build the club from the ground up. With over 60 children in Auskick in 2011 we want to ensure that they are able to come up through a strong junior club and play all their football days with Tullamarine.

New Junior Committee

We now have a wonderful new Junior Commitee with mum’s,dad’s, coaches and local residents. The Junior Commitee are currently meeting so for more information please email tullamarinefc@hotmail.com. Its not to late to put your hand up!

Revised Code of Conduct

 Looking to the future we want to build a strong  Football Club which allows players to grow  and develop ourFamily Friendly Club. We have new code of conduct which will be displayed around the club rooms and for all junior parents to sign when registering their child.

Some other areas the club has reviewed and made changes for 2012 include:  

• The Club has submitted an application for a Community Grant with the Hume Council for Coaching Courses and equipment to assist in the Junior area of the Club. (Any good grant writers or experienced writers please put your hand up to help the club raise some funds through grant writing.)
• Qualified Trainers at all games for all teams
• All coaching staff and Volunteers have Working with Children Checks to ensure the safety of your child/ren.
• Team Mangers will do a roster at the beginning of the season for all parents to help out time keeping, goal umpiring or being umpire escort. This way all the parents will only have to volunteer once a season and it spreads the game day responsibility to stop the same people having to put their hand up every week.
• Auskick numbers are set to increase again in 2012 so we need more people willing to help out with Auskick on Friday Nights.
• Improve the win/ loss ratio of all junior sides. The Tullamarine Football Club will be actively recruiting Junior Coaches with experience and dedication to football and the club. If you are interested please speak to the club soon or apply according to the above details. We are really looking for coaches who are dedicated to the game of football and have the ability to teach and develop the players with good skills and game strategies. 
• A new tradition of the Father and Son match being played the week before season 2012 starts. This is a great friendly game and playing it before the season starts will allow parents to socialise in a family friendly environment and get to know each other before the season starts.
• Aim to keep fees at a reasonable level, provide the opportunity for payments plans to be available before round 2 and where necessary enforce a debt collection policy to ensure the clubs financial future.
• We have also obtained a $140,000 grant in the Hume Council 2012/2013 budget for the upgrading of our ground lighting.

We want 2012 to be a year that all the players, coaches and supporters remember because they won games, had fun at training and just enjoying running out onto the field every week. If you are willing to help change the culture and want to see the juniors succeed no need to go to the AGM just sign up today and will contact you in the next few weeks to start planning for 2012. 

 We look forward to seeing you all in 2012! For updates over Christmas please join our Facebook Page.
