Welcome to Springwood United Football club

2018 Season 

We are just over half way through the season and all of our teams are playing in good spirits and playing some great football. Thank you to all who have helped getting the season off to a good start, helping out on the BBQ, setting up the fields well, packing up again at the end of the day, and to all who have volunteered their time as Ground Officials.

Season 2018 is shaping up to be another great year at SUFC. Let's build on the great start and keep up the high spirit around the club. Teams are generally working well together to allow everyone to have an effective training session. Please remember to keep to your allocated time slot and field position, please do not train in the goal mouths, so that we all get the most from our training.

Please keep all your support and communication positive. There's been a few reports of coaching from the sideline by parents and spectators. Please remember that the Coach is the person that is responsible for issuing the team and players instructions and that spectators are not permitted to provide instruction and coaching from the sideline, this even includes towards your own child. All forms of positive support, encouragement, applause and recognition of good play by our own players and teams as well as the opposition is welcome. Please remember that children play for their own enjoyment.

Remember that referees are human and that everyone makes mistakes. Please recognise good play, and good sportsmanship, support everyone in the game, both from SUFC, other clubs and the match officials.

Finally a reminder to all to protect yourselves by wearing shin pads at training, as well as at games.

There's a lot of good resources available on the club website to help if you have any questions. And a good team of committee members who love to help our members to enjoy a safe, successful and supportive football season.
