Goalkeeper training is on tonight from 5:45 for U10/U11. 6:45 for older players.

The following was received late yesterday from Football Brisbane.

Dear Secretary,

All Divisional Competitions are now visible to clubs through Sporting Pulse for review (not the public). DO NOT send these fixtures to your club members as they may change after feedback.

Football Brisbane requests that all clubs review the fixtures for your teams as well as the grades they are in. You should ensure all teams are present and that the competitions schedule does not clash with existing SSF or other competitions. Please also ensure you allow in your review of the scheduling for teams who may be impacted by school activities, because once these schedules are finalised they will not be changed.

Any feedback must be to Football Brisbane by midday Monday 6th May 2013.

It is our intent to finalise all competitions by 5.00pm Tuesday 7th May 2013.

Regards

Reuben Robertson

Dear Secretary,

I would like all Clubs Administrators  to read the Rules of Competition in relation to ‘Applications for Alterations to Fixtures’. In particular, I wish them to ensure they understand the requirements for requests, the time frame, and the criteria for considering an alteration.

There is currently a  spike in the number of requests for matches to be rescheduled because of school sporting events. This is not, and has never been an acceptable criteria for the movement of Football Brisbane Fixtures.  Further, this is a Policy directive set by the Zone Council and as such it has been written into the Rules of Competition. Until this Policy is altered, Football Brisbane’s Administration will follow the Rules and reject any submission to alter a fixture for school sport. 

Therefore, all clubs should please note that once a Competition Fixture Draw is finalised, matches will not be rescheduled for school sports. So please do not submit a request to do so, as it will not be entertained.

School sports played on the weekend is not new, and clubs are without doubt, aware that they will have player impact.  Therefore it is essential in the development of the draft competition draws, that clubs attempt to set times for teams that limit the implications of player loss at their home matches. Obviously, there is no say in the scheduled times of away matches and therefore this will be a lottery for the club.

The following was received late tonight from Football Brisbane alerting clubs to errors in the draws for larger hubs.  This definitely effects our U11 Jets, U11 Mariners and U11 Phoenix teams, and I think it might also our U11 Glory team even though this hub has not been identified by Football Brisbane.

Once again I ask that you please be patient and pay no attention to the published draws beyond this week-end.

Dear Secretary,

We have discovered an error in the Sporting Pulse supplied, Competition Templates for 16, 18 and 20 team schedules. (These are only used in SSF competitions.)

The impact of this error in the Templates has been identified by a number of clubs in the Hubs with these large team numbers. Specifically, the schedule will list the club team playing  at least 8 matches either home or away in a row. Obviously this is not the intent of a home and away scheduling system and Football Brisbane is working to correct the templates.

Once corrected, each Hub consisting of  15 or more teams will need to be re-drawn. The effect of this being a substantial change to scheduled matches at all clubs involved in these hubs.

In order to minimise the impact, we will perform this action after this Saturday’s SSF fixtures are completed. It will also require a review of possible fixture clashes for al clubs involved in these Hubs. 

I would  therefore ask that all clubs communicate to their members that this process will occur and for them to assess the match lists again on Wednesday and Thursday. I will communicate the completion of this work as soon as I am aware.

Hubs impacted by this issue

Any questions on positions available please contact our Technical Director Will Allan via email dof@pinehillsfootball.com or 0458 910 979

For more information on registration, FAQ regarding what fees cover, links and "How to" Documents please click here. 

For all players  games are commencing on the week-end of 19-21 April.  Draws for the season can be found on the Football Brisbane website once released through a link on the Pine Hills website – alternatively just click on this link http://www.sportingpulse.com/club_info.cgi?clubID=136802&c=1-9386-0-0-0&a=TEAMS#content.  Please bear with us as these are coordinated by Football Brisbane and not us.

Even though players have now been allocated to teams, the ‘no train/no play’ rule will still apply to any player whose final payment remains unpaid after the agreed due date pertinent to that player. Coaches and managers will be advised accordingly.

As per the Club’s Fees Policy, a player will not be able to participate in training or games if registration fees have not been paid in full.  The registration of a player is only the first step in the process that allows them to play.  The next step is for the Club Registrar to make them “Active” on the Registration website and this can only happen after the player is fully financial.  If a player takes to the field prior to being made Active, Football Brisbane will class them as an ineligible player and they will not be covered by insurance in the event of injury.

Even though players have now been allocated to teams, the ‘no train/no play’ rule will still apply to any player who has not paid in full.  Coaches and managers will be advised accordingly.

If you have concerns regarding payment of registration fees, please contact the Club Treasurer, Jenny Baddeley (treasurer@pinehillsfootball.com) to discuss the matter.

Our football development programs for our U8 to U11 players will commence soon. For more information on what you can expect from these programs please CLICK HERE
