Onslow Junior Football Club 2008 Newsletter #4
 
Our new online enrolment system has been a resounding success and has eliminated the manual task of processing hundreds of paper enrolments (and hundreds of checks). We're proud to be the first junior club in Wellington offering a comprehensive Web-based online enrolment system.
 
We even had one enrolment from a family in Onslow County, North Carolina - one of the dangers of an uninformed Google search.

Online enrolments are now closed
 
Our online enrolment system is now closed for new enrolments. If you haven't enrolled and want to play football this year then you will need to contact Greg,our registration secretary (email registration@onslow.org.nz). Late enrolments will go on a waiting list unless there is a suitable team that requires additional players.
 
The link to the ClubHub system is still available on our website if you need to logon and correct any details (eg email address) or to make registration payments.
 
 
What happens now ? 
 
Some grades (beginning with grade 9) have started or are about to start running trials for the selection of players for streamed teams. Once the trials are completed, our grade coordinators will be using the enrolment information you have provided to put players into teams, and to appoint team managers and coaches. The grade coordinator will provide the contact details of the team members to the team manager who is then responsible for distributing out to the rest of the team (this is usually done by email). The team manager and coach will organise a time and venue for practice.
 
Please be patient and give your grade coordinator time to complete this task. If you need to talk to your grade coordinator their contact details are available on our website. 
 
 
How can I help ?
 
Please volunteer to be a team manager - this is a huge help for our grade coordinators. This is an administration role and you don't need to know anything about football to manage your child's team.
 
 
Outstanding payments
 
There are a number of enrolments where we have not received the registration payment. Please logon to ClubHub and make a credit card payment for any outstanding amount. Registrations are incomplete until all fees have been paid. We prefer that payments are made using the secure credit card payment system in ClubHub.
 
 
New grade 7 coordinator
 
The club welcomes our new grade 7 coordinator, Belinda Bartlett who has volunteered to look after grade 7 this year. Please assist Belinda by saying yes to being a team manager (or coach) for your team.
 
 
Club gear for sale at Champs
 
Club uniform (shorts and socks) is available through Champs Sports Wellington (Leftbank Cuba Street). Also football boots, shin guards and balls.
 
 
Team practices
 
Any teams organising a practice venue must do this through Sarah our club secretary (secretary@onslow.org.nz). It is important that we maintain a positive relationship with local schools so please do not contact them directly.
 
There is a big demand for practice time at Nairnville, particularly for the field with lights. You must book a slot with Sarah if you intend to use Nairnville.  
 
 
Second hand gear for sale
 
There is a list of second hand gear for sale on the website. If you have anything that you want to sell you can send me the details and I will add to the list. Please send it in a format that I can easily "cut and paste" into a text document. The club has no involvement in the sale process.
