In 2012 Football Federation Australia rolled out a new registration system for all clubs and associations around Australia.  This year all players can register online and you also have the option of paying online.  If you complete the whole process you can save waiting in line on rego day.  Jump the queue and register with Killarney District Soccer Club now by visiting myfootballclub now.

Happy New Year to everyone.

We hope you enjoyed the Christmas holidays and that you all managed to get in some relaxation.

Registrations will be drawing upon us in Feb 2012 so please keep an eye out on the website.

This year is Killarney District Soccer Club's 40th year and we hope will be our biggest and best yet.

If you are interested in sponsoring a team or the club please let us know as we start to plan our events for the year to help celebrate this fantastic milestone.

With Registrations coming up in early February we would like to give players the opportunity to pay some or all of their registration early. Instead of one bulk payment come rego day you can pay a deposit on your fees for the year or if you have a few in the family playing, pay in full for one or more players. You will need to contact the Treasurer - Kylie Bevan on 0402013509 or via email kylie@bevan.net.au to discuss payment options and to gain a reference number so we can match up your payments.

KDSC last grand finals were played over the weekend and unfortunately, couldn't chalk up another record breaking victory for the club.

The W12B and MAA2 both put up a gallant effort with very tight contests and close scores in both matches.  Congratulations to both teams on a great year and we are looking forward to bigger and better things in 2012.

It is great to see all KDSC teams playing in great spirit and sportsmanship and everyone must be commended for their efforts during the year.

Important to read below as detailed by CCF.

This is an important reminder as we are nearing the finals regarding photography at grounds

The Cameras start to appear to film the next Harry Kewell. Please be aware there are strict rules associated with Cameras at sporting fields. There are many kids out there who cannot be filmed for various reasons- some serious security reasons. Teams need to do the following with regards to photos: 1. All teams taking photos need to inform the official table via the team manager. 2. All teams need to inform the official table if they have an issue with photo’s/filming. I know it is difficult with so many people at the ground however if all Coaches and Managers are aware of this policy then they should be able to look after their own team and ensure that permission is given by the table. We will have also have an official CCF photographer doing the rounds in the next few weeks. He will approach the Official table first to check if there are any teams with concerns. This will also be the case at Pluim Park for finals. Please email myself if you think any CCF photos have been taken of a team with concerns to ensure we do not publish the photos. Please ensure all teams are aware of their responsibility with regards to photos. It would be awful to jeopardise the safety of a child for the sake of a photo. Please distribute to all necessary parties in your club.

Kind Regards,

Sally McGarn Competitions Administrator

Killarney District Soccer Club hosted another very successful gala day on the 5th June 2011 which was a great relief for everyone due to the wet weather that was hanging about.

A couple of the fields were more challenging due to the soggy conditions but it certainly didn't  deter the kids eagerness or dampen their enthusiasm.

The day was well organised and run, and, again, was reiterated by the teams in attendance. Thankyou to the Killarney Kripples and Scott Sheldon for organising the refs and assistant refs for the day.

Thankyou to the Committee for running the event with the various duties of timekeeping, table updates, marshalling and of course the canteen.

Also thankyou to the Shelly Beach Fossils for running the BBQ for the day.

We also had our usual coffee man dishing out snow cones and coffees as well as Football Heaven selling some great strips and merchandise at some great prices.

Well done must go to all the teams for the way the games were played and the sportsmanship that was displayed.

Congratulations to the following teams for winning the respective divisions

Divison A - FC Mongo

Division B - Southern Ettalong

Division C - East Gosford

On Thursday night, July 7th, Killarney District Soccer Club hosted an evening where club players, young and old, could meet the A League Central Coast Mariners on our local turf. This was a huge success thanks to the generosity of the Central Coast Mariners and staff who took time out of their busy schedules to come and greet our non-comp and junior players that came down to grab an autograph or just a glimpse of the players close up.

It is fantastic to see the Mariners put in an concerted effort on meeting the kids in soccer at a grass roots level. We are very privileged and grateful for their attendance.

We must also thank the Committee for organising this event and for the Premier League Squad for running the BBQ on the evening that helped feed lots of little mouths with sausage sandwiches and also gave the parents some relief from dinner duties.

We hope you all go along and support the Mariners this season to what is shaping up to be another big year for the team.

Dear All

 Please read the message below from council regarding use of the sportsgrounds:

 A number of incidents have occurred, over recent weeks, at various sportsgrounds across Wyong Shire in relation to informal use of sportsgrounds when sportsgrounds are closed.

 Council understands that these activities are often not endorsed or organised by clubs or associations and are often simply informal games by children in the local area.

 Council is seeking your assistance in communicating a message to all your members in relation to use of any sportsground for informal use.

 The inappropriate use of sports grounds, by the community, (without club/association knowledge), in wet conditions, threatens the viability of those sportsgrounds for weekend sport.

 Use of this nature causes conflict between codes and often leads to negative interactions and a lack of co operation between clubs of various codes. 

 This type of use and any subsequent repairs that are required, causes financial stress on Council and reduces our ability to undertake repairs to all grounds.

 Your understanding and cooperation is greatly appreciated.

 Kind regards,

 Kelli Fletcher
Sports Liaison Officer
