To all of our Redbacks family,

As we communicated recently, 2021 was not the return to football that we’d hoped for. Whilst the season ended unexpectedly, we want to again thank all of our players, families, volunteers and supporters who helped us navigate another challenging year.

This year will mark our 60th anniversary and we are looking forward to welcoming back all of our players for an even better season, including celebrating this significant milestone!

We look forward to seeing you all in 2022 and wish you a safe and happy holiday season.

IMPORTANT PLEASE READ

Feeling unwell?

If you are unwell, or experiencing any symptoms such as runny nose, sore throat, cough or fever PLEASE STAY HOME.  We know everyone loves playing football, but for the safety of your Coaches, Parents and Team-Mates and of course ensuring the season continues without interruption, we urge you to stay home if you are unwell.

Checking in/Contact Tracing

When arriving at Redbacks FC home ground, View Street you will be required to check in via the Service NSW app.  This is a critical step in our Covid Safety Plan in the unfortunate event we need to respond to a potential exposure.  We request all Coaches, Parents, Players and Supporters check in and out of the grounds. 

This applies to Game Day and Training Nights effective immediately.

QR Codes Placement

We have provided your Team Manager and Coach with a copy of the QR code for checking in, or alternatively, the QR codes will be placed around the grounds on the black fence and near the canteen for your use.

Social Distancing

In line with Public Health orders, please ensure when supporting your team that you remain 1.5m apart.  We know that it is a good time to catch up with friends at the Football, but please do so safely and responsibly by keeping your distance.

Please keep your distance when lining up for Canteen purchases also.

End of Game Celebrations & Snacks

Please do not shake hands with your opposition, rather do the elbow bump to limit contact.  Any communal game day snacks i.e. half time oranges should be avoided or please use tongs to distribute.

2021 Pre-season Muster Update

As communicated earlier in the week, the weather has not been our friend and our Muster plans have needed to be revised as a result. Despite the recent sunny weather, Council has advised the grounds will remain closed so we will not be able to proceed with our player activities as originally planned. 

The following activities WILL continue as planned:

1:  Merchandise Sales  **The canteen will be open from 6pm for sales**

2:  Manager & Coach Information Sessions incl. Uniform and Kit Bag distribution

Please note: Only a nominated Manager or Coach can collect the Team Kit Bag and Uniforms so please make sure at least one of you can attend the info session. Below are the session timings for your relevant age groups. Please arrive on time:

• 6pm:         U6-U7 Age Groups
• 6:45pm:   U8-U9 Age Groups
• 7:30pm:   U10, 11,12,13 Age Groups

All sessions will provide the Coach and Manager with the following:

•  Manager and Coach Information Brief incl. President’s Welcome
• Age Co-ordinators introduced
• Team kit bags and Player jerseys distributed
• Training information (incl. NSWFC requirements)
• Manager/Coach shirts

Our Kids entertainment, sausage sizzle and team meet and greet gatherings will no longer go ahead which is disappointing. As it’s our Club 60th Anniversary Celebration this year we will commence planning another event to celebrate with our members….. Watch this space!

NWSF – 2020 Season Update

We thank you for your patience during the suspension of football and understand you would be eager to get back on the field.

We are excited that Football NSW has advised that, provided clubs and participants comply with the revised NSW Govt Public Health Order and by adopting the FNSW Return to Training Guidelines (available here), clubs can resume training activities. This is also subject to local Councils confirming fields will be available (and we note some of our Councils are yet to confirm).

Please check with your club about arrangements for training and remember you must stay at home if:
