My Dear Prouille Family
 
It was warm and sunny for our Orientation Day last Sunday, it was great to see everyone out and about on a Sunday morning after the festivities of Mardi Gras,  and the kids had a good run. Key points to remember:
 
* Everyone needs to referee - the Coach needs to coach, and you cannot coach while you are ref'ing - we will send you all a one-page set of rules;
* Play nicely with others  - keep everything positive, constructive, and short - football should be a happy experience for the kids;
* Get to training - it is an important part of the team bonding process and helps instill discipline - we are a community, offer help if you see a need, ask for help if you are struggling;
* Get involved - the kids appreciate your commitment, and the investment in time pays off for many times over;
 
Heads-up that we are still waiting on some new equipment, so the Coaches and Managers evening scheduled for Wednesday has been cancelled. Any team management questions should be sent to Piers at VP@prouillesoccer.com.au.
 
The next date for your calendars is the Trial Day with Sacred Heart Pymble - Saturday 19th March. In the meantime both the Committee and your Team Managers will be in touch. Pat Burton can be contacted with any registration orientated questions: Registrar@prouillesoccer.com.au.
 
Our Season 2015 trophies are being presented to the School this week by Piers and Kat, so look for them in the trophy cabinet next time you visit Prouille.
 
This is my last post, so I would like to thank our volunteers, players, and families over the last decade that have made Prouille FC the great little club that it is. It has a wonderful experience and I have met some amazing people that have enriched my life. From today the best contact to get me on is michael@trinder.net.
 
I would also like to thank our sponsors: George Severino and Alto have been a central part of the rejuvinated Prouille FC; Craig Willis and the team at Northpoint Motor Body Repairs have been our most enduring sponsor (and solid defender for the Over 45s); while Bec and Greg at That Barber Shop in Wahroonga are our newest sponsors and central part of our local community. Please attend these three great businesses when you  have the opportunity.
 
Lastly, I would ask that you support the 2016 Committee, and think about putting your hand up to help - if it is turning sausages or putting kits together, or even as the new Kindy Liaison Officer -  all assistance is appreciated, contact our Secretary Eddie Lee at Secretary@prouillesoccer.com.au.
 
So long for now, I will see you on the field.
