Mounties Group has issued the following information to members and the community:

Based on updated advice from NSW Health, Mounties Group is requesting members who visited Mounties between:

* Wednesday 22 July, 6pm, through to
* Saturday 25 July, 3am,

to self-isolate and get tested for COVID-19 regardless of symptoms.

Anyone who attended Mounties during these times is advised to stay isolated for a full 14 days even if they test negative.

As a precautionary measure with increased cases in our immediate area, Mounties Group has decided to close Mounties until next Wednesday 5 August. This includes Minis, Fresh, Swimming Programs as well as Mounties Gym.

This is not a directive from NSW Health, we have voluntarily chosen to close our doors for this period.

The safety of our members and the community is paramount and we have decided to take this preventative action to minimise any risk during these next few crucial days.

For more than 50 years, Mounties Group has existed to better the lives of our members and keeping our community as safe as possible is our highest priority right now.

We encourage people to follow NSW Government health advice for further updates or visit the Mounties website.

Hi Community Family, we have the first home round for many of the Mounties Soccer Teams at Joe Broad this weekend!

A few reminders to help it all go smoothly:

* Any flu symptoms means you should stay away until better.

* There will be increased hygiene practices.

* Social distancing is a requirement for spectators and general interactions.

* If YOUR child's team is playing at 9am, it means you have Field Setup duty. The Committee will provide instruction but they do so much work as it is there is no way they can fit in setting up the fields as well. Coaches and Managers have also committed time and effort and they are not supposed to do field setup. Please arrive 8am for field setup.

* If YOUR child's team is the last game for the day ON THAT FIELD, then you have Field Take Down. Basically just pack away the nets, corner flags and benches.

* Field setup and take down only take few minutes and over the years, you will only be required to do it a few times, so please pitch in. Many hands make light work.

* CHEER loudly for Mounties but be polite to everyone.

* ENCOURAGE your team, even when they make mistakes...

* Help make it an ENJOYABLE experience for everyone, especially the players.

* Be POLITE to the REFS - we need them! They will make mistakes...

* Starting this weekend, when you can, over the season, pop into the canteen for an hour or so, to see if the Committee needs help with the BBQ or anything else. It will help improve everyone's enjoyment.

* If you want to be part of a GREAT club, be A part of it.

 

WEATHER UPDATE.

Reminder that games and training are ALWAYS on unless notified on the Facebook page and website.

A light drizzle is usually not enough to cancel games - don't worry, your children will not melt in the rain.

Occasionally, games are cancelled at the last minute, after you're already at the ground. This happens rarely but can't be helped.

Have a good weekend!

HAVE FUN!!!!

Parents also please be calm and focused, for the sake of the children!  I know you want to call out encouragement and that's fine, but the players also need to listen to their coaches...

Please let the referees do their job.  Believe it or not they are trying their best. As I'm sure the players are.  The refs will make mistakes, as will the players!  We need to encourage the referees - many are young kids just like our players and they love the sport as well.  If they make a bad call, even if it costs us the game, suck it up.  We need to create a safe environment for the refs or we won't have any!

Let's all be on our best behaviour and be glad that the season is finally underway!  Please be courteous to all the other spectators and DO NOT yell at any players; not our own, and especially not the opposition.
