Niagara Park Dockers JAFC recommends that all players wear Mouth Guards in competitive and contact sports.
The Club recommends that when players reach the Under 9's age group, mouth guards should be worn. Although physical contact is minimal, there is always the chance of accidental contact to the face and mouth area.
In the more compeitive age groups from Under 12's, the Club insists on mouth guards being worn at training and during games.
For more information please visit the Australian Dental Association web site on Mouth Guard Awarness.

Sport provides many valuable learning experiences, but for most children enjoyment is the most important outcome. If they don’t have fun, they will not want to play.
AFL NSW/ACT has recognised, what we at Niagara Park Dockers have for some time, that Max Enders has a lot to offer AFL. In February 2012 Max commenced work with AFL NSW/ACT as a Development Officer on the Central Coast. As part of Max's role, he wil be busy visiting schools and recruiting new players to our great code.
Max completed his HSC last year and is now studying Bachelor Teaching / Bachelor Science at Newcastle University. Max played all his junior football at the Club and is now playing for Terrigal Under 18's as well as Coaching our Under 16's this year.
Congratulations Max, The game of AFL on the Centeral Coast is in good hands.

Are you what you would consider a knowledgable football follower? You know team tactics, you’re a specialist on key stats and across the different roles played by each player across a team?
I want to give you a different perspective.
The spark for this article came when I heard Darren Milburn interviewed in the lead-up to the Cats’ game with the Gold Coast. When asked about ex teammate Gary Ablett, he said they would have to give him some attention and stated “we know he likes those little ones around the back so we’ll have to stop them.” I don’t know if it was a tongue in cheek stab at an old mate, or a genuine crack at his ex-teammate. If I had to guess I would say it would have been the former.

Also, A BIG THANK YOU to Amanda Steele from Gosford Tigers for generously allowing the club the use of her wonderful images.
