| Wet weather In periods of wet weather, training may be cancelled, with the decision to close a field made by club volunteers, NSFA, or Council. Always assume training is on unless you’re told otherwise. Watch for a Facebook post around 3:30pm. You will also receive a notification from your manager. |
| Positive Football Please always treat your team, opposition, volunteers and officials with respect. Spectators should stand apart from players/managers/coaches and provide positive support only – leaving the coach to do the coaching. If issues arise, try to address them early, with your manager. Refer to our Issue Resolution page for guidance. |
| Shorts, socks, HOODIES AND JACKETS Click here to order your shorts and socks. Sophie our merch manager will tell you where to collect your order. Please order ASAP, so there is time to get it ready. Order collection and last minute, in-person shopping this Friday from 5:30pm at Auluba. HOODIES AND JACKETS will be with us by Friday, check them out at Auluba on Friday evening – adults and kids sizes – they are great quality items. |
| CLUBHOUSE FRIDAY! This Friday (31 March), meet your friends at the clubhouse from 5:30pm. Enjoy gourmet cheese plates to share, delicious BURGERS (including new VEGGIE burgers), and drinks from the bar. W35 players are on the BBQ – thank you! Steve, James and Mike are behind the bar. It will be ON whatever the weather. |
| Coaches and managers wanted All teams need a volunteer Manager, Coach and ideally an Assistant Coach. If your team currently does not have these, please consider volunteering ASAP. If you can assist for Mixed Miniroos, email Richard at miniroosmixed@kpfc.asn.au |

Suitable for development-focussed girls, the clinics run for another 9 weeks and are in addition to training. Details here |

| PREMIER LEAGUE – Saturday afternoon Enjoy the BAR and BBQ as our Premier League squad take on North Sydney. 1pm Reserve Grade and 3pm First Grade. Wear your red, blue and white while you watch some inspirational football. Northside Physio will be on site if you have physio issues to discuss. |
| G6/G7 – come and try, come and see We can accommodate more players in this popular program. If your daughter turns 5, 6, or 7, bring her along to Auluba from 5:15pm Friday. Chat to coordinators and join in training. G6 are at Auluba this Sunday from 9 to 10am. You are welcome to come and see what the program is like. |
| Duke of Ed A reminder that high school students can do all three parts of their Duke of Ed with us. Go to Volunteering. |
| Fields and amenities Fields: We have engaged a consultant to provide a range of options for field usage given our growing membership and grounds being used at capacity for Winter night training in particular. We will engage with our members in the coming months about these options. Auluba amenities: Further, progress is being made with a project to upgrade the toilets, change rooms and drainage at Auluba, including better accessibility for all. We are hopeful through engagement with council we will have improved facilities over the next year. The Glade: Finally, we highlight opportunity for feedback on The Glade master plan due 9am April 3rd, including potential installation of lighting. That lighting would leverage the field for possible evening training, which would alleviate some pressure with growing population and football participation in our area across clubs. |
