What are “Player Development Squads” ?
The Canterbury District runs grassroots football as an entry point for players of all abilities. A small number of players desire to progress to the next level of football ie.. competitions run by Football NSW.

Along with players that want to increase their skills development, “Player Development Squads” are run by the association on a weekly basis for a limited number of weeks (approx 6 weeks) as extra training.

If you ‘re looking for some extra training run by professional instructors and have
been thinking about representative football then come along to one of the trial dates .
For any enquiries please call Nonda Nitis (Coaching Director) on 0420 988 799,
or Sean Reddington (Womens Coordinator) on 0413 513 443.

we need coaches and managers and their teams to help us in the following IMPORTANT matters:

1. if your team is first team to play at mackey park on saturday or sunday morning-( 9AM game start)  please send 2 people from your team to set up the goal posts & nets. We cannot guarantee that nets will be set up by 9am as 99% of committee members are coaches/managers themselves and usually have games on at other parks. .. PLUS as we now have to use portable goal posts, it takes15-20 mins to set up each goal post- So please send  2 team members Mackey park by 8AM. No goal posts means you may have to forfeit the game.

2. Game sheets MUST be handed in to clubhouse NO LATER than SUNDAY 4PM - teams who do not hand in game sheets will be fined by the CDSFA - teams are liable for ANY fines that they , their players, supporters incur from the CDSFA- for example - red card, send offs = automatic fine.

3. Check the club notice board to see if your team is on BBQ or OFFICIAL duty. Your assistance in this matter means we look after each other and visitors to Mackey park very well. 

4. If you are a coach or manager and you do not have coach/manager card- contact the registrar asap as you should not be in the technical area during a game without it. 

cheers Ron, Pam and Bob

Here are links to all the parks in Canterbury District with maps and addresses. There are copies in the clubhouse as well.

MFC recommends that all coaches and managers read the CDSFA Rules 2009, then print a copy and take it with you to games.

All parents, players, coaches, managers and spectators should be aware of the zero tolerance for violence policy which explicitly prohibits behaviour which is unsportsmanlike or “..is disrespectful or abusive of any match official or of their decisions.” Any complaint should be made quietly to a ground or club official, not shouted from the sidelines.
