Good morning Coaches & Managers,
A fortnight ago saw the conclusion of the season with 6 Springwood United FC teams competing in Grand Finals and a number of junior teams compete at Gala Days across the association.
On Thursday night our U12 Div 1 boys play Emu Plains FC in the Nepean Cup Final at Jamison Park. Kick Off is at 6pm if you want to come and support the team.
Our Waratah League team, Over 30’s Women’s team and our U15 Div 1 boys continue to represent the club at Champion of Champions matches in late September. We wish all teams the best of luck.
Kit Return Day – Saturday 10th September
This Saturday between 8am – 12 noon we ask that all teams return the playing kit and training equipment to the clubhouse upon the season conclusion.
The Coach, Manager or a team representative is asked to do the following;
• Account for all jerseys, make note of any missing, damaged or heavily soiled jerseys
• Empty kit bag and ball bag of all personal items, lost property, rubbish, mud & grass
• Wash and dry all jerseys and training bibs
• Fold or store jerseys and bibs inside clean kit bag
• Place balls, cones, cone holder and any other supplied training equipment you signed for at the beginning of the year inside ball bag
• Drop the kit and ball bag at the clubhouse on Saturday morning and sign in the equipment on behalf of the team.
If you have any issues or questions about your kit or equipment, please email Sarah Stevens at: equipment@springwoodunited.com.au
