The Club is following advice and procedures provided to us by the WA Football Commission. Based on their latest update, only events with over 500 people need to be cancelled. Accordingly, no changes to our current pre-season program are required.

All players and parents/carers are asked to note the following recommendations:

• Wash hands regularly
• Cover your mouth when coughing
• Byo drink bottles to all training and games
• Don’t shake hands
• Stay home if you are unwell

The executive committee has recently met to discuss player numbers and recommend a ‘cap’ for teams in each age group.

The following table has been developed, and is the approach we will take for this season and beyond. This decision was made by the Executive Committee based on historical playing numbers, player retention, equality and the promotion of playing football.

Note this is the recommended approach, and will be assessed by the Executive Committee on a case by case basis if/when required.

Boys teams

A similar table will be developed for the girls teams in due course.

The attached document (2020 WAFC Junior Football Policies, Rules & Regulations) is from the WA Football Commission and details the 2020 rules for footy in WA. It is strongly recommended that players and families look through the document before the season commences.  

Of particular importance to Hills Rangers is the new advice relating to team formation – you can find these guidelines on pages 28-33. 

Pending the number of registrations, Hills Rangers will be adopting these guidelines to determine team formation of our yr 7 boys intake this season if we need to set up 2 or more teams. 

As one of the fundamental elements of the Hills Rangers Football Club is to nominate teams of equal strength, having these guidelines in place makes the team formation process very clear in scenarios where we have two or more teams in a single age group.  

NOTE

• The club doesn’t expect to undertake this process every year for age groups with 2 or more teams. We plan to make the assessment in the initial year of registration, then review after 2 seasons. As an example, the allocation of players in the yr 7 boys teams of 2019 will remain as is for the 2020 season – pending numbers of returning and new players.
• New players in age groups where 2 or more teams already exist will be placed into teams based on the balance of the team and the fit of new players with existing players.

Here are the results of our 2019 raffle. Congratulations to all our winners.

1st – Damon Scaramozzino
2nd – Marty Frame
3rd – Suzy Thompson
4th – Simon Musto
5th – Sandy Patience
