Hello
I know we’re in the off-season, but I couldn’t resist sneaking in a offseason club update.
Planning is well underway for the 2027 season, with registrations opening in January. It would be great to see everyone return for what will be the 70th anniversary season of Kissing Point Football Club.
Before registrations open, we have a few things happening.
AGM
Our AGM will be held on Tuesday 17 November at 7pm at Auluba Clubhouse. All members are welcome, and if you’ve ever thought about volunteering or getting more involved in the club, please come along and meet the committee.
Development Trials
The second round of our development trials takes place this weekend, and it’s not too late to register.
Trials are being held for Junior Development League (Mixed U8–U11 and Girls U10–U11), Diamond League (Girls U12–U18) and Super League (Mixed U12–U18).
If you’re interested, please contact the relevant coordinator:
- Junior Development League – jdl@kpfc.asn.au
- Diamond League – juniorgirls@kpfc.asn.au
- Super League – juniormixed@kpfc.asn.au
It seems the level of marketing from football clubs has gone up a few notches this year. There are plenty of big promises, prizes to be won, potential overseas trips and flashy graphics doing the rounds. We’ve even heard reports of people turning up at other clubs’ trials to recruit players.
So, just to clear a few things up. KPFC still has a real person putting our posts together (thanks Emily), Claude AI is not our Technical Director responsible for producing eight-point development plans, and our team has better things to do than hang around watching other clubs’ trials.
Unfortunately this also means our Diamond League players will have to settle for a Bathurst trip in February rather than Europe.
In all seriousness, we prefer to keep things simple. Good coaching, a positive club environment and a focus on developing players. The players are at the centre of what we do, not a league table.
Canteen Manager URGENT
We are still looking for someone to take on this incredibly important role, and we could really use some help.
Our canteen is not only an important fundraiser for the club, but also a place where parents and players come together and contribute to the community spirit that makes KPFC what it is. The role could be shared between a couple of people, so it doesn’t necessarily need to fall on one person’s shoulders.
If we can’t find someone to take this on, unfortunately we won’t be able to open the canteen on Friday nights next season.
The funds raised help us keep registration fees as low as possible and provide equipment for our teams. Losing that would have a real impact on the club.
If you’re interested in helping, please contact me at president@kpfc.asn.au or speak to one of our committee members.
I’m really looking forward to 2027. Our 70th anniversary gives us plenty to celebrate, and with the continued support of our players, families and volunteers, I’m confident it will be another great year for KPFC.
