FIXTURES for this weekend's Round 12 of the Northern Suburbs Hub's Mini Roos competition have been released, with all the games to be played on Sunday at Geelong Rangers Soccer Club's Myers Reserve complex in Bell Post Hill...

PLEASE see the attachment below...

 

Please note the extra U11 field so we can finish 12ish so we can get to Simmonds Stadium for the Victory v Atletico game.There is also one U9 game at 8.15 to achieve this as well.

 

Could all clubs please ask all referees to use whistles - it does make a difference.

Please also take note of the following two points:

1. NO SLIDE TACKLES!

Referees to be mindful of over physical play especially when there is a marked difference in sizes between players.

2. RESPECT ALL PLAYERS & MATCH OFFICIALS

There is no place for spectators to be bad sports.

If there are any issues to be followed up then it needs to go through team coaches who can discuss with other team coach- if tem coaches feel matter needs further consideration it can be forwarded through your club delegate to the Hub Co-ordinator

If the issue needs further consideration it will then go to Foddy Kyprian FFV Zone Development Officer.

On reflection 99.9% of interactions are positive and there is some great development of our juniors occurring - but on the rare occasion when people behave poorly we must as a group work to educate about how to behave appropriately. Bad behaviour needs to be scrutinised and corrected by team coaches/officials and counselled out of our venues.
