KBFC — Season 2010 Registrations

To com­pete, play­ers need to com­plete two regis­tra­tion forms and pay the required regis­tra­tion fees. One form is for our club, the other is a require­ment of the Asso­ci­ation (BFQ) to which we belong. 

Age require­ments:
Men’s: play­ers need to be at least 15 years of age
Women’s: play­ers need to be at least 14 years of age

Abil­ity require­ments:
Teams are selec­ted on abil­ity. The coaches assess player’s abil­ity fol­low­ing regis­tra­tion and play­ers are assigned to an appro­pri­ate team. We do try to keep friends together but for the integ­rity of the com­pet­i­tion and con­sist­ent with our val­ues of striv­ing to be the best, being with ‘friends’ is not always possible.

Com­mit­ment Expec­ted:
We expect play­ers to play for the whole sea­son and also expect reg­u­lar attend­ance at train­ing. To play a com­plete pay­ment of fees by the end of April is also expec­ted. In some cir­cum­stances play­ers can play for part of a sea­son and we also look for some play­ers who are avail­able on a cas­ual basis as teams have needs. Please talk to the Regis­trar or one of the Coaches if these ‘cas­ual cir­cum­stances’ describe you. Cas­ual play­ers, after pay­ing an ini­tial regis­tra­tion amount, have a small cost to pay on the occa­sions they play. (This is instead of the sea­sonal charge.) 

Train­ing inform­a­tion:
We believe that in order to be our best, we need to make every effort to train. Per­sonal cir­cum­stances may not always make this pos­sible. When these cir­cum­stances arise, we expect play­ers to talk with their coach. In the event of per­sist­ent rain, train­ing is usu­ally called off. Coaches will advise teams of this through SMS by 6:30. 

We train at Akuna Oval, Fig Tree Pocket each Thursday even­ing (wk 3 February-​​September) from 7 – 9pm. 

Play­ing inform­a­tion:
Our home ground is at Spren­ger St Fig Tree Pocket. Games are usu­ally sched­uled for 1pm or 3pm. Game details are pub­lished on the BFQ web­site (www​.bfq​.org​.au) and also advised by coaches at train­ing and through their estab­lished com­mu­nic­a­tion channels. 

We play against teams in SE Qld. The greatest dis­tance trav­elled is Cabool­ture to the north, Been­leigh to the south and Vic­toria Point to the east. Play­ers are expec­ted to arrive at the ground at least 30 minutes before play unless some other arrange­ment is made with the coach. Teams share the respons­ib­il­ity of set­ting up or pulling down nets and posts. 

Club Strip:
Two strips are avail­able for the Women’s team: one team plays with a strip that is pre­dom­in­antly blue, the other jer­sey set is mainly white. Three strips exist for the Men’s teams; white, blue, and blue & white. All teams play with dark blue shorts and either white socks (white jer­sey) or blue socks (pre­dom­in­antly blue jer­seys). Socks and shorts are avail­able from the club for purchase. 

Player Duties:
Fol­low­ing regis­tra­tion, play­ers need to keep in reg­u­lar com­mu­nic­a­tion with their coach and fel­low play­ers. The best way is to attend every train­ing ses­sion and game pos­sible and to advise the coach as soon as pos­sible of occa­sions when not avail­able. Each team mem­ber through­out the sea­son will be asked to help with some team duties e.g. wash­ing drink bottles, clean­ing jer­seys, and assist­ing keep­ing our home ground in good order. 

Rep­res­ent­at­ive Oppor­tun­it­ies:
The BFQ has pro­cesses to select a rep­res­ent­at­ive men’s and women’s team to com­pete at State Titles against other Chris­tian rep­res­ent­at­ive teams from other asso­ci­ations. These pro­cesses usu­ally involve select­ors identi­fy­ing play­ers in game play from the com­mence­ment of the BFQ pre-​​season. The State titles are usu­ally held mid-​​season. Fol­low­ing State Titles a state team is selec­ted to play at National titles usu­ally held early Octo­ber. On the Regis­tra­tion Form you are asked to identify if you are inter­ested in being con­sidered.

Forms to be com­pleted with the deposit of $100:
+ KBFC regis­tra­tion form
+ BFQ regis­tra­tion form (avail­able from www​.bfq​.org​.au)

Pay­ment Options:
The pre­ferred pay­ment is by EFT or cash at a train­ing night. Please speak to our Treas­urer about the EFT option. Remem­ber if using EFT — it is VERY import­ant that you clearly indic­ate or have evid­ence of who is mak­ing the pay­ment. Cheques are another method of pay­ment and need to be made out to Ken­more Baptist Foot­ball. Please ask for a receipt when mak­ing a payment.
