Happy New Year to all current and prospective Olinda Ferny Creek Junior Football Club families and a warm welcome to Season 2011.

I know everyone is getting excited about an impending winter in the hills and thought I would take this opportunity to "warm you up" with information regarding the clubs activities and initiatives.

Firstly some great news from last season. Olinda Ferny Creek Junior Football Club was awarded for being the best run Junior club in the league. This is testament to the hard work by everyone involved on game days and the committee's efforts during the year. Again it shows that our club is a leader in the development the players, the organisation of the club and professionalism of the committee.

We are also a growing club with player numbers expected to increase again this season. With this in mind and to ensure we give all players the opportunity participate we intend entering an under 13's team for the 2011 season. This additional team gives players the opportunity to play more football, develop their skills at an appropriate level and more importantly play. Our club policies limit the number of players in each age level, so to ensure all kids that intend to play fit under the team limit please register early to avoid disappointment.

Registration day is coming up on Sunday the 6th of February. As mentioned before it is extremely important to register early as possible to avoid disappointment. Don't forget to bring your old boots to swap or some cash for some cheap slightly used ones.

I look forward to seeing you all on registration day.

Regards and "Go Bloods,
