Welcome to the Saints February 2021 Newsletter

We are less than two months away from the start of the season and finalising the last details to get teams on the park for 2021.
If you haven't yet, then please register today at the Play Football website.
We especially need Coaches and Managers to register through Play Football ASAP

PLAYERS STILL NEEDED FOR 2021
We still have space for players in several Age Groups so please be on the lookout for potential players who would be a suitable fit for the Saints.
If you could also like and share our Facebook post promoting 2021 Registrations this will go a long way to ensure we have the right number of players for every team. The post can be found here. 
If you know of anyone who might be interested in playing, especially in the younger age groups, then please encourage them to join you at the Saints.

• Have flu or cold-like symptoms
• Have been in contact with anyone with a confirmed case of COVID-19
• Have been tested for COVID-19 and are awaiting test results
• Are about to be tested for COVID-19
• Have been to any known hotspots/locations

Q: What team am I or my child in?
A: Grading has been completed for most Age Groups and results being communicated to players over the next few weeks. Most players will be made aware of their team in the coming weeks, with the potential exception being Under 6 and Under 7 players who start a little later than the other teams.

Q: When is training for my team?
A: Training details can be found on our website here https://www.leichhardtsaints.com/parent-information/training
It is still a draft schedule as we incorporate individual team requests and field availability. Final dates and field locations will be advised by your Age Coordinator, Coach or Manager. 
You do not need club shorts and socks to train but boots and shin-pads are compulsory for both training and game day

Q: When does the season start?
A: Season start dates (and other competition details) can be found at https://www.leichhardtsaints.com/competition-structure

Q: What are the details of our first game?
A: The draw hasn't be created by the Association yet, and will likely be published towards the end of March. Once it is up we will post a link on Facebook

Q: When does the club assign a coach to our team?
A: The Saints is volunteer run and all of our coaches are generally volunteers, usually a parent from within the team. We would encourage you to give Coaching or Managing a go as it is very rewarding.

Q: What about uniforms?
A: Jerseys are provided by the club and will be provided to Team Managers prior to the first game, but shorts and socks can be purchased from https://www.leichhardtsaints.com/shop. We recommend purchasing these early as there can be a lead time for delivery. The delivery fee is also a flat fee so we recommend teams pool their orders.
Under 6 and Under 7 players will receive complimentary shorts and socks

Q: What happens when there is wet weather?
A: Details for wet weather impacts on training and games can be found at https://www.leichhardtsaints.com/wet-weather-page
