House Keeping and what you can do FFIIRRSSTT AAIID AAND LLEEAAGGUUEE SSAAFFEE It is important that each team has league Accredited First Aid Officers and League Safe personnel assigned to their team each game, or your team will not be permitted to play. If you can help your team and sit through the courses to become accredited, please see your team coach or manager there can never be too many League Safers or First aid officers; not only do you come away with valuable information and the satisfaction that you are contributing to the team, but you also get handbooks, and a new shirt! The club will pay for the cost of the training, and in return ask that you can provide the services back to the club. The next League Safe course is on Wednesday 19 May 2010 at The West Belconnen Leagues Club from 6pm - 9pm. These courses book out quickly, so if you are interested, please download the registration form from the sporting pulse website, complete and send through to JRL, the Bears will be invoiced on attendance. http://www.sportingpulse.com/assoc_page.cgi?client=7-1084-0-0- 0&sID=13490&&news_task=DETAIL&articleID=11888776§ionID=13490 GGRROUUNDSS SSEETT UUPP Each team whose game commences at 9am has been asked to provide two representatives from their team to assist setting up the grounds. There are 3 fields (mini, mod and international) to set up. T doesn t take too long to coordinate. You will be assisted the grounds-set-up-army, and, on completion, will be awarded with a free coffee. We ask that you come to the home ground at Ashburton Ovals at 7.30am to help! Same goes for the reversal at the end of the day. The teams who play the final games on their respective field are asked if they too can provide support to the grounds pack-away-army and assist packing down the fields. MANY HANDS MAKE LIGHT WORK CCAANTTEEEEN Leesa is no stranger to the club, and this year has taken on the Canteen Coordinator job. Last year we ran a roster system, whereby each week a different team was rostered on to assist in the Canteen; on cold days the canteen is a popular place to be (the pie warmer and coffee machine are quite inviting!). Round 1 will commence with the Under 16 s assisting in the canteen, Round 2 will be the Under 15 s and so on, eventually moving down to the Under 6 s. Families are asked to provide assistance in serving hot food and beverages, throughout the whole day. You are not expected to be working the canteen when your child is playing on the field. Your Coach/Manager will tell you when your team is rostered on. The canteen is only small, and to be honest, anymore than 3 people in that little room can be quite squishy, but please, drop by and say hi to the ladies in the canteen and offer some assistance, even if you re not rostered on.

A MESSAGE FROM YOUR TEAM UUNDEERR 99' 'ss A big welcome back to families from last year and a huge welcome to the new families this year. I would like to thank the parents that have already put their hands up to help out at training and hope it continues throughout the year. I hope we have a fun and enjoyable season. Training - Mondays 5.30pm-6.30pm & Thursdays 5.30pm-6.30pm Thanks Ben UUNDEERR 1100 ss BBLLAACCKK Hello families! I am coaching the Under 10 s Black this year, and am no stranger to the team. Last year I League Safed along side Gav and Andrew, this year I ve made the quantum leap into the coaching position. I am a Level 1 Coach and coached the Under 8 s in 2008 for another club; I ve managed to pull a few boys out from retirement to stock up the numbers for this season. 2010 is an exciting year for our boys as this year the boys can play in finals. Playing footy is not about winning, but it sure puts a smile-on-your-dial when you come away with more points on the board than the other team. This year we will work on skills, technique and effective, positive team work and positional play. Each boy will be given a role on the field and this role may vary from game to game. We re in for a great year! Enough of me, let me introduce you to the U10 s Black team: Introducing our backs 1 Samuel 2 Hayden 3 Louis 4 Liam 5 Ethan 6 Jarred 7 Jack Team Manager First Aid Officer League Safe Andrew Roylance Neil Lamb WANTED Introducing our forwards 8 Dante 9 Mark 10 Nick 11 Lucas 12 Dayton 14 Sam W 15 Chook 16 Zeke As you can see, we have a healthy team. You ve all received my intro letter, and I reiterate that I am happy to discuss training or game play with you, after training or game days and can be contacted by phone or email (almost) anytime. Let s go Bears & remember training well = playing well! Go the Bears Corrinna 0419 229 226

Murray UUNDEERR 1111 ss My name is Greg Rolls and I have taken on the managers role with the under 11's Bears. We have have made a rocky start to the year with our coach Billy going to the Bulls. Wayne Wilson has taken on the coaching role until we can find a replacement coach and has got all the boys into a routine at the few training sessions that we have had. Our training sessions will be held twice a week on Wednesday and Friday from 5.30 to 6.30pm at the Diamantina grounds in Kaleen. The team is mostly made up of players that won the Grand Final last year but we welcome several new players including Ngalan Gilbert, Jared Graf,Flynn Fleming-Wilke and welcome back Yianni Batzogiannis. We also welcome Corey Wilson who will be helping out with training as the conditioning coach/trainer. A special thanks to Wayne and Janita Wilson in helping to get the season started for the under 11's team under trying circumstances. The team also enjoyed a week end recently at Neligen where the boys were able to kayak, Fish and water ski as well as a few games of footy and a great time was had by all. We look forward to the season ahead. Regards Greg Rolls

TANYA SIMMONDS 0419626798, BILL SIMMONDS 0402421993 (HOME) 02 6259 5403 UUNDEERR 1144 ss Welcome back everybody to another year of fantastic football fever. Daz and I would like to welcome the new boys to our team, Willie, Humza, Daniel, Liam and a welcome home also to Kirk, we re sure you boys will fit in nicely into our under 14 s Bears outfit. We have already started our 2010 season with a trial carnival against Belconnen United Sharks, and a trip down to Bega to play the Bega Roosters. Although we lost to Bega 26-6 and a couple of Sydney teams touched us up in the Sharks carnival, there were some very promising signs and we also didn t have our strongest team due to injuries to Stef and Joseph. But we kick off the proper season with a tough 1st game against Queanbeyan Blues at their home ground. Hopefully the boys will be fired up for a good win. On a finishing note we have a few housekeeping rules for you guys. If you cannot make it to training please let us know with a quick phone call to either Daz or myself or you could find yourself sitting on bench, and we would like the boy s full attention at training or there will be penalties to those individuals. We are very excited about the 2010 season with a good group of boys that we have in the team. Thanks very much everybody and GO THE BEARS 2010 Boxy 0419 165 396 Daz 0418 710 130
