Football Year 1-8

We do have a slightly higher fee than RDS as we have extra KWS costs including TIC costs and a Thank You Voucher for the Coach. The advantage of registering through school instead of club is:

• Your players will be under a Coach OR Manager that agrees with the schools philosophy and values.
• The school has a strict culture where certain behaviours are NOT allowed in line with our school sports code of conduct.
• The older teams will have an extra training with KWS parent/student coaches.
• School teams are included in the KingsWay School Sports Prize Giving in term 4, Year Book and School Sports Photos.
• You have the opportunity to pay for the fees weekly, fortnightly or monthly through an Automatic Payment system.

Primary 

First Kicks/Fun Footballers Year 5 – 8 (8:30 to 9:45am on Saturday mornings), this is more of an adult supervisory roll , as the skill games used, will be run/provided by the club each week, and the emphasis is on fun. More than one parent can share the games supervisor to cover absences, though co-ordination is the responsibility of those that are sharing.

Junior grades Age 9- 12-year-olds (any of 9am, 10am, 11am kick-offs) This is a coaching and managing role but can be shared by parents to get around commitments that prevent their full-time attendance, provided these volunteers co-ordinate that. A different Coach and Manager is required. An adult Coach can receive $50 off their child’s fees. (Please see conditions below).

These teams are permitted “rolling substitutes”, and every team coach appreciates help from a parent (s) who will manage the substitutions to ensure every player gets equal opportunity on the field each week.

Youth Grade – Age 13 (Approx Year 8)
For Youth grade (usually 11am, 12 noon kick offs) this is a coaching and managing role, but can be shared by parents to get around commitments, that prevent their full time attendance, provided these volunteers co-ordinate that. A different Coach and Manager is required. An adult Coach can receive $50 off their child’s fees.

Go to our Coaches and Managers page within Sport for more information about coaching or managing a team.

Training Cancellations
These will be communicated via your team’s manager or coach.

Forfeits: If your team cannot play on the designated game time, it is imperative that the team coach/manager contacts the TIC  if your team needs to forfeit with the Football Club and the affected opposition teams by no later 12 noon on the day before the game. It is very important to do this through formal channels to ensure the communication is circulated to the correct parties.

• Teams do not forfeit unless agreed by the TIC or Sports Dept.
• Out of courtesy, if borrowing a player from another team please request player’s through the coach and manager.

NOTE: If a student doesn’t make a side due to a lack of numbers to make a complete team, their fees will be reimbursed, however, fees will not be reimbursed to students who don’t make their choice of team in their chosen code or who no longer want to play and who then choose to withdraw.
Once the teams are made up, if a child pulls out, it can cause a lot of administrative work both at school and at the association level and can upset a number of teams where players have to be moved about to reshuffle teams. It can even mean a team has not got enough players to compete in the competition for the season.
