Sincere Condolences

We offer our deepest and sincere sympathies to Claire Scoles and her family following the devastating loss of her husband Chris Scoles, soccer dad of Eden (under 11s) & Step-dad of Max (Under 12s) and former coach of our Under 10s in 2017.  A number of parents from our club attended Chris’s farewell service on the 14 October which was a beautiful celebration of Chris’s life.  The club has made a donation to the Dayboro Sheriff’s Fund on behalf of Chris.  We encourage club members to either make a blood donation to the Blood Bank or a financial donation to the Dayboro Sheriff’s Fund  BSB 633000 & Account 163275365 (please use Chris’s name as a reference).

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.
