Skills Training

Skills training is back at the Dayboro Dingoes Soccer Club! The club has engaged a very experienced skills trainer, Stitch Jones - a local resident, who will be commencing training for all available players from Under 9’s and Under 10’s as follows: 

·        Every Monday from the Monday 14^th at 4pm to 5pm except school holidays until the 11^th September.

Under 7’s and U8’s will combine and commence training the following week with an assistant to Stitch as follows:

·        Every Monday from Monday 21^st at 4pm to 5pm except school holidays until the 11^th September.

Players will need to wear their shin pads and boots as per normal training and arrive 15 minutes early. The cost is covered by our generous sponsors. Please advise your team manager as soon as possible if you intend taking your child to the skills training so we can gauge numbers.

Thank you to Parents

President – Scott Price

Secretary – James Bennett

Treasurer – Troy Wienert

Registrar/Team Liaison – Ivy Cruice

Webmaster/Social Media  - Megan Riddle

Grounds Officer – Michael Holyoak & Tom Hess

Referee Coordinator – Jen Graham

Coach Liaison – Scott Price

Sponsor Liaison – Scott Price

A big thank-you to the above people for happily taking up the positions. We look forward to a fantastic 2021 season with the assistance of the parents of our little Dayboroos.

Thank-you & farewell

We would like to acknowledge the outgoing committee members Tony Robinson, Kylie Brias and Sandy Burnett for their commitment and dedication over many years but especially this very challenging year. As it worked out these three members did not have any children playing at the club in 2020 and yet they contributed and made a successful season for the children of others. This is a shining example of community selflessness and commitment.

2020 Season wrap

This year we had several teams compete and almost all players returned once the season was allowed to finally commence after lockdown. We introduced a number of new children to football (soccer) and many came from other sports that were not able to recommence. A big thank-you must go to our all of our coaches and managers for 2020 in making a positive difference for our children. The fitness, socialisation and mentoring that team sports provide our children was especially evident this year.

All teams competed very well this year with our top team, Under 12’s, finishing an impressive third on the ladder.

We had a tragedy at the club during the season with the passing of Louise Schmidt. A truly genuine person totally committed to her husband Jason and three beautiful young children, Sarah, Grayson and Zoe. Louise’s warm smile and reassuring presence will live on in her wonderful children.

Special Awards

A big congratulations goes to Evan Wienert for being awarded the 2020 Club Player of the year. A quiet player who leads by example on and off the field, committed to training and never letting his teammates down.

The 2020 Club Most Improved was awarded to Aston Young from Under 8 Blue. The level of improvement shown from his first season in 2019 was very impressive and was just rewards from his dedication at training. Always smiling and with a gritty determination Aston has battled his self-doubt to help his team win all but one game in 2020. Congratulations Aston and your teammates for a great season.

Make sure your child has a blast at game day and become the perfect football parent!   Here are 9 tips to help you along the way -

1. Focus on your child’s efforts and performance rather than whether they win or lose. At this age children are playing football purely for fun. There is no evidence to suggest winning is a motivating factor in keeping them playing. Praise them for effort, sportsmanship and skills rather than worrying about the scoreline.
2. Remember that children learn best by example. Appreciate good performance and skilful plays by all players. Cheer when the opposition score and clap when one of their players has a good run with the ball. Your children will notice.
3. Volunteer at our club to show them you are engaged with their sport as much as they are. Try a committee role, coaching or see if they need help in the canteen on match days. Don’t be shy to put your hand up and help out where possible. 
4. Parental behaviour is absolutely critical in ensuring that young players enjoy an appropriate environment in their formative years of playing football. Respect officials’ decisions and teach children to do likewise.
5. A major focus should be on letting the children play with minimal instruction and plenty of encouragement. Let them play. It’s a game after all!
6. Show appreciation for volunteer coaches, officials and administrators - without them, your child could not participate.
7. Spending time with their friends is a key motivating factor for girls’ sports participation. Give them time to hang out and chat before and after games. They will enjoy the social side as much as the match – and so will you!
8. Learn the rules so you can support your team where necessary. 
9. Applaud players when they are substituted and let them know they will soon be back on the pitch. It will help them understand rotating players is a normal part of playing football and ensure they do not feel they have done anything wrong.
