Our
committee are all volunteers who give their time freely. We all have jobs, we all have kids playing
soccer, and some of us coach a team. If
you can help out in any way please come forward.
The
fields need to be set up, the canteen needs helpers and the BBQ needs to be
manned on our home game days.
Our
main contact for any queries or concerns you may have is our President Jason
Dittmar. Jason can be contacted at
‘Sportsworld’ in Murwillumbah on 02 66722 742.
A big
‘Thank you’ to Jason & Allison for all their efforts, and their time given
to the running of our Club.
All our
coaches are volunteers. A big ‘Thank you’
to those who have taken on this role.
Players
and parents are asked to give their coach total support and assist in all ways
possible.
Players
are asked to attend all training sessions and weekend games. If for some reason you are unable to attend
either, please call your coach and advise them.
Game days can be very stressful for coaches, especially when players
they are expecting do not show up.
Parents
/ Supporters are asked to leave the coaching to the Coach during the Game on
Saturdays.
All outstanding fees are now overdue.
If you
have outstanding fees, please finalise the payment, or arrange your payment
plan with Shirley or Steve at training on Tuesdays.
All
Team Draws, ground locations, soccer information and any updates and changes to
the draw are available on the soccer websites.

And the
Saints
Soccer Club will be hosting a non-competitive Junior Carnival on Sunday 22
June. The Carnival will be small sided
games for 6’s, 7’s & 8’s and RooBall for the 9’s. Teams
& coaches from these Grades mark this
date on your calendar. Carnivals are a great day of soccer for the kids and
parents alike.
This
carnival will be a major fundraiser for our Soccer Club and any ideas or
sponsorship would be greatly appreciated.
We will be running a Monster Raffle on the day, so any donations or
ideas for prizes would be appreciated.

...Here is some fantastic feedback we recently received...
"hi, i was just wanting to say what a fantastic nail-biting match it was
between our junior 6's teams on saturday. Tyalgum V's Mur'bah black.
Tyalgum were undefeated until we came up against the 'mighty saints' that
have obviously learnt what team sport is about. It made all the
parents/spectators really get involved. Both teams gave 100% and it was
the best team that won in the end. It is a real pleasure to watch two
teams giving their absolute very best, well done to the coach and
especially the players for their huge efforts and a well deserved result!
Looking forward each time we play! Tyalgum Taipans grade 6 gold."
...That's what grassroots football is all about...
Well done to both teams

31/01/07 - SAINTS PRESIDENT IN THE NEWS !!!
- Feature - 'Your Life with Jill Ray', page 12~ Daily News, Wednesday, January 31, 2007)
- 'quote..." While talking about parents who give their time thanklessly. I ran into Jason Dittmar at the Saints soccer fields in Murwillumbah last weekend (remember how hot it was on Saturday) Jason was methodically going to all parts of the ground and painting everything that needed it. He did have some helping hands with wife Alison (Canteen Manager), Molly (Under- 12's), Chloe (Under- 10's), Sam (Under- 8's), and Joe 17 months (number one supporter) and Tony Tunsted (Vice President, Mens Coach) all pitching in to give a hand. These are not the only volunteers at Murwillumbah Saints Soccer Club as there are many others in the background preparing for the next three big weekends for sign on."...unquote'
