How You Can Get Involved
Thirroul JFC is a community based club whose success has been achieved through
the support and dedication of volunteers, parents, other family members and local
businesses.
There are many ways you and your family can help. These include:
• Coaching
• Team Manager
• Sponsorship
• Volunteer/Canteen
• Committee
Below is more information about the various roles at our club.
COACHING
All of our junior coaches are volunteers from within the club, usually parents of players in
the team they coach or senior players who have shown an interest in coaching.
The main focus of a coach at Thirroul JFC should be to develop the skills of the players,
ensure they have fun and want to continue playing, encourage fair play and get the best
out of the team.
To assist our coaches, the club has appointed John Cropper to the role of Mentor:
Coaching and Development.
John has an extensive background in coaching at junior, senior and representative level,
and he will offer guidance, support and advice to enhance the knowledge and skills of
Thirroul coaches.
Thirroul JFC encourages all coaches to gain the appropriate accreditation to help them in
their role. Football South Coast runs the following courses:
Grassroots License (5-9 year old players) - FREE
Skills Training Certificate (9-13 year old players)—$90.00
Game Training Certificate (13-17 year old players)—$90.00
Senior Coaching Certificate (17+ year old players)—$90.00
Please visit the Football SouthCoast website for more information on how to register
There is also a coaching tab at the bottom of the thirroul.football.com.au website with
information to assist coaches.

TEAM MANAGER
Each team is required to have a team manager, who is the communication link between
the club, coach, players and parents. The team manager is usually responsible for organ-
ising the washing of jerseys and a canteen roster for families of graded junior team mem-
bers at home games. On game day, the manager is required to fill in the team sheet and
check the ID sheet of players from the opposing team.
SPONSORSHIP
Sponsorship helps to provide financial stability to the club and improved benefits for our
players and others involved with Thirroul JFC. The club offers a variety of sponsorship
packages, which can provide exposure for your business on playing shirts and the
thirroulfootball.com.au website.
Last year, Thirroul JFC had more than 600 registered players from Under 6s to our senior
men’s and women's teams, and the club actively encourages players and their families to
support our sponsors. The rates for sponsoring Thirroul JFC teams are:
U6-7s $500 + GST
U8-9s $700 + GST
U10-11s $900 + GST
U12-18s $1,000 +GST
If you are interested in sponsoring the club or one of our teams, or know of anyone else
who may be, please contact secretary@thirroulfootball.com.au
VOLUNTEER/CANTEEN
Thirroul JFC is run by volunteers and the club is always looking for more help. Specifically
we are looking for ground marshalls to help out on Saturday and Sunday mornings for our
Junior Games at Gibson Park. If you are able to assist, please contact Danielle Foster,
secretary@thirroulfootball.com.au
For Junior graded teams playing on a Sunday, usually, each family will be asked to do no
more than one or two shifts of canteen duty throughout the season, which are normally
for half a game each while your child is playing at home. This will be organised by the
Team Manager.
This help is essential and appreciated as the canteen provides a major source of revenue
for the club and enables Thirroul JFC to keep registration fees as low as possible.
COMMITTEE
All of the Thirroul JFC committee members are or have been parents, coaches, managers
or players at the club. The role of the committee is to oversee the running of the club,
from Under 6s to senior level. If you are interested in joining the committee or helping the
club in any way please contact secretary@thirroulfootball.com.au

To foster and promote the sport of football in the Thirroul Area by creating a SAFE,
SKILL BASED PLAYING ENVIRONMENT, where success is judged - not by winning- but
by having FUN, IMPROVING SKILLS AND PARTICIPATING in a team and a club that is
active within the community.
To foster and promote INDIVIDUAL DEVELOPMENT comprising
• Self esteem
• Social Skills
• Team Co-operation
• Personal development
CHILD PROTECTION
The club is well aware of the need to provide a safe environment in which children can
train, play and enjoy football without fear of abuse or harassment. To this end the club
has put the following in place as part of an overall Child Protection policy:
• All Coaches and Managers will need to complete a Working with Children
check – details can be found at service.nsw.gov.au
Photography – the club has put in place the following rules relating to
photographing of juniors:
• Any parent/guardian who does not wish their child/children photographed
can request a No Photography form from the club. Once this form is sub-
mitted the club will make every reasonable effort to ensure this request is
adhered to, but cannot be responsible for any individual who does not
comply with club policy.
• Any person wishing to photograph a match should advise the coach or man-
ager of both teams of their intention and seek permission to proceed. If per-
mission is not granted that decision should be respected.
• Under no circumstances should photographs be taken of any junior player
while they are changing into or out of their playing strip.
8• The club has appointed an official photographer (Lin Hampton). Official
photography will follow the guidelines set out above. Any photographs
taken will be for club use only on either the club website or in official
publications. They will not be made available to any other parties.
MINIROOS GAMES
Age groups Under 6 to Under 11 (ages 4 to 11) will be playing under the MiniRoos
Game format. Details can be found on the club’s website (thirroulfootball.com.au/
thunderbolts/miniroo playing format and rules).
MiniRoos Games use simplified rules, smaller number of players and smaller fields to
give players greater opportunity to participate in the game, develop their skills and
have fun.
GRADED TEAMS
Graded team competitions are played in age groups from Under 12 to Under 18.
Grading of teams is required to ensure that players are playing in a team and against
teams appropriate to their ability. Grading is an Association requirement.
Graded teams play on a full size field with all the rules of football as set down by FIFA.
New players are always welcome.
GROUND ALLOCATION POLICY
Ground allocations are posted on the Board at the Club House. If per chance two teams
are allocated to the same field at the same time, the senior team takes priority.
Ground allocation may be varied at the discretion of the Ground Official on the day and
this decision is final.
9CLUB COMMUNICATIONS
It is the policy of the club that all communications with the Football South Coast –
Junior Council, any other Club and all others outside TJFC, must be done through the
Club Secretary.
This is essential because it is a requirement of the Football South Coast –Junior Council
that all communications within the association be conducted on a
SECRETARY to SECRETARY basis. This includes communication with any members of
the Football South Coast Junior Council.
To keep everyone up to date, the club has established a web site:
thirroulfootball.com.au
And, a Facebook page:
Thirroul Junior Football Club
During the playing season club and district news, updates to draws and match reports
will be posted on the club website.
PARENTAL ASSISTANCE
To ensure that your child enjoys their time with the club, all parents are asked to assist
as much as possible. Club Officials, Coaches and Managers have a lot to do and your
assistance will help make the club’s operations run much smoother and be more
enjoyable for everyone. You can assist in the following ways:
• Staffing the Canteen when required – you will normally be notified by your
coach or manager
• Coaching or managing a team – see the sections on Coaches and Managers
Responsibility
• Ground Marshall – each team will be asked to provide a Ground Marshall for the
duration of each home match.
• Join the committee – if you are interested email
• secretary@thirroulfootball.com.au
• Help set up and take down nets at home games – the first and last teams to play
are responsible for this.
• Ensuring your child is on time for matches – the coach or manager will advise
how long before match time you are required at the field.
• Informing Coach/manager if your child is unable to play or attend training
• Washing shirts when required
• Being prompt when picking your child up after training and matches or ensuring
that arrangements have been made for their care and/or transport home.
10TRAINING
Team training sessions will be organised by the coach. Typically teams usually train
once or twice a week, depending on the age group.
Training times are usually from 3.30 pm onwards and day and time will be advised by
the Coach/Manager. Older teams may train under lights in the early evening. If for any
reason training has to be changed or cancelled the coach or manager will advise play-
ers.
Training sessions are essential for both the development of individual skills and team-
work and should not be taken lightly, please ensure that wherever possible your child
attends scheduled training.
UNIFORM
The junior player’s uniform consists of:
• Football boots and shin pads
• Blue shorts with 3 white stripes on the left leg
• White socks with two blue stripes at the top
• White shirt with blue shoulder markings
MiniRoo’s uniforms are the same as above, however the shirts are the colour of the
team name, eg U6 Red, will be wearing Red shirts.
Players must provide their own shorts and socks. These can be purchased at
registration or from the Canteen during the season. Details of sizes available and costs
can be found on the club website.
PLAYER'S SHIRTS are supplied by the club and kept in a kit supplied to the
Manager at the beginning of the season. Shirts are valuable club property and are
ONLY to be worn during the games.
Please DO NOT hand out the shirts to the individual players. Keep them in the bag pro-
vided and hand them out on match day.
Boots are optional for Small Sided Games but are required for players in graded teams.
Second hand boots are available in a box in the Club house. Parents are encouraged to
pick boots from this box for FREE and to donate boots which are no longer needed.
Shin pads are COMPULSORY for ALL ages for games and training.
11ADVANCED SKILLS PROGRAM
Thirroul Junior Football Club encourages player development through the ADVANCED
SKILLS AWARD. This has replaced the Elite Skills program, which was introduced in
1998 by John Cropper and Ross Cirson with the aim of encouraging the basic skills of
the game and providing feedback to the players on areas they could improve.
This was successful and the level of coaching has evolved over the past 18 years to the
point where players are now taught skills from a young age.
Thirroul JFC believes that by developing skills young players will get more enjoyment
out of the game and continue to play for longer.
This fits with the club's philosophy:
SKILL DEVELOPMENT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN WINNING
The ADVANCED SKILLS AWARD is open to all Thirroul JFC junior players and is intend-
ed to recognise players who are highly skilled in both game situations and performing
football skills for the Advanced Skills award.
This award replaces the best and fairest award and has resulted in a noticea-
ble increase in the level of skill displayed by our players. We feel this award sets us
apart from other clubs in the district.
Players who fit the criteria are nominated by their coaches and then assessed under
the guidance of Thirroul JFC's Mentor: Coaching and Development, John Cropper at
games and/or training during the season.
COACH’S RESPONSIBILITIES
Thirroul Junior Football Club’s policy is for ALL coaches to have the appropriate coach-
ing qualifications for the age they are coaching. For more information about obtaining
this important (and enjoyable to achieve) qualification, contact the Club Coaching
Co-ordinator, Club Secretary or another committee member.
The Coaches' other responsibilities are as follows:
• Train players in appropriate skills and drills
• Care for training equipment (balls, marker hats etc.)
• Direct the conduct of matches from the sideline.
• Conduct oneself and organise one's team in a manner consistent with the
stated philosophy of the Club as set out in this document.
6
12Before the start of the season the coach should:
• Collect, sign for and check training equipment from Gear Steward
Note: You are responsible for the equipment in your care and for acting in a manner
consistent with the Aims and Philosophy of TJFC
TEAM MANAGER’S RESPONSIBILITIES:
The value of a good manager to a team is the freedom given to the Coach to concen-
trate on player training and on field issues without the distraction of administrative
paperwork. The manger and the coach are a team and may share responsibilities as
agreed between the two. The following is a guideline only:
Manager's Responsibilities can include:
• Care for shirts and gear
• Notify players when and where they have to be each week and pass on
information received from the club
• Correctly complete team sheets on match days.
• Communicate with parents and committee members
• Advise parents when they will required for canteen duty
• Organise match reports for club website
CANTEEN
TJFC runs a canteen every Saturday and Sunday whenever we have games being
played. Parents from participating teams are rostered to help in the Canteen and will
be informed of the times they are required by the manager or coach of your team.
As the main source of revenue enabling us to keep the costs to player and parents
as low as possible it is mandatory for all families participate, usually only twice a
season at most. This help is essential and appreciated.
Please Note: MiniRoo parents are not required to do Canteen on the Saturday as this
is covered by the Canteen Coordinator.
