🔥2023 Mortgage Choice Winter Carnival 🏉🔥

This school holidays the BDJFA have organized and are hosting a good, old fashioned football carnival. Team Busselton will play against association teams from Augusta Margaret River and the Lower South West across 3 different grades. Our Yr. 7 team will play on Bovell 3, our Yr. 8 team will be playing on Bovell 2 and our Yr.9 team will be playing 18 a side footy on Bovell 1. The day will be held on Saturday July 8th, first round of games kicking off at 9am. During the day the canteen will be opening and serving delicious food, with all profits going towards our local footballers selected in the WA State school teams. There will be great raffles and other fundraising ideas going on during the day as well

Come on down for the day, support our Busselton teams and local state football girls, grab some lunch, grab a raffle ticket and enjoy what we believe is going to be some high quality country footy.

Special thanks to Mark Van Kleef - Mortgage Choice Dunsborough for coming onboard as our major sponsor of the day and helping make this opportunity happen!

Congratulations to all of our players who contributed to the win of the Mike Adams cup in round 1 of 2023 on the weekend. A big thank you also goes out to our committee, coaches, managers, first aiders, umpires, goal umpires, sausage cookers and other organisers and helpers too, without you the day would not have run smoothly.

I originally shared this post just over a year ago, but after witnessing a certain event earlier this week, I was reminded of the critical importance of this message. It remains applicable for everyone working with kids and teens in any way. And it always will.

Dear School Sports Coach

I wonder if you know your power...

Decades from now, you may not remember the kids in your team, but I can promise you, they will remember you. Your influence in their lives, one way or another, will continue.

Just a few reminders:

You don’t make children do better by making them feel worse. The worse we feel, the worse we do. Simple. You do the maths.

You don’t build strengths by criticizing weaknesses. Studies have been done on this. When the focus is on building strengths, weaknesses improve naturally.

Balls WILL be dropped. Shots WILL be missed. Off days, for all of us, are normal. We’re human, we all make mistakes. Mistakes are our greatest teachers. Every single one of us know when we’ve messed up and we feel bad enough. Our kids don’t need to be made to feel worse.
Encouragement, not criticism, is what helps any of us do better the next time.

You don’t produce a winning team by
instilling fear into them. No one, absolutely no one, can do their best or improve any skill, whatsoever, when brains are operating in fear. We rise by lifting others, not by slamming their efforts to the ground, however inferior these may seem in your perspective.

Children will do their best for a coach they respect and admire. Focus on getting to really know the kids in your team and build a relationship with them. You’ll see amazing things happen on the score board.

Sport is not just about winning. And when you keep hammering that skewed perspective to kids, you really take all the joy out of it. Of course we all love winning, but who wants to play a sport when there’s no fun in it. Winning is the byproduct of a great team. Great teams are built through great relationships with great coaches. Try be great. Please just try.

You don’t improve performance by sarcasm and cutting comments. There are only three reasons that anyone uses sarcasm- insecurity, social awkwardness and hidden anger issues. Please redirect these personal challenges. None of them should be directed at children.

It takes very few words to break the kids in your team down. Your tone and body language are powerful too. Words can inspire or they can destroy. If destruction is your goal, you are definitely in the wrong profession.

You don’t encourage high performance through shouting and belittling. No one has ever walked past a room where someone is shouting and thought, “Wow, they’ve got this under control.” Shouting is only a sign of how OUT of control you actually are. Try building a relationship with your team first. I promise you, they’ll be far more likely to “hear” what you’re asking them to do in the first place.

Please, please, recognize your power as a team leader. Side note: A leader is so much more than a person in authority.

If you absolutely can’t stop yourself from doing these things, then please stop working with children and go and work on yourself first. Breaking others down, especially children is only an indication of tremendous personal brokenness. Please recognize the need for your own healing first.

And to those phenomenal coaches, and there are so many of you, who lead by example, who teach mightily through encouragement, who understand that patience is powerful, who know that the most effective motivator in any situation is a relationship, on behalf of children and teens everywhere, thank you for the incredible difference that you are making.

“A good coach can change a game. A great coach can change a life.” (John Woodent)

🏉 GOOOOO SAINTS!!! 🙌

🟥⬜⬛ Saints JFC AGM 🟥⬜⬛

🗓 WHEN: Saturday 4th December 2021
🕑 AT: 2:00pm
🏨 WHERE: Esplanade Hotel

All committee positions will be declared vacant, and a new committee elected or
re-elected for the positions of:

President

Senior Vice President

Vice President x 2

Secretary

Treasurer

Registrar

⭐ Please consider nominating for one of these vital roles within the club...

This includes President, as our current President, Darren Power, plans to step down from the job this year, after 3 seasons, to allow someone new to take over.

(Please be reassured that Darren will still be around to assist anyone who wants to take the helm for the next couple of years)

🏉 You don’t need to know that much about footy for any of these roles, you just need to have the ability to bring people and sport together for the benefit of our kids and community ♥️

✅ We'd love to see some new people onboard, especially from the younger year groups, to lead Saints into the next generation‼️

📧 Please send your nominations to: [email protected]

👥 We'd really like to get as many people to the AGM as possible, so even if you don't want to nominate for a role, please still take just an hour out of your Saturday to come and have a look and a chat 😃

This was posted on the BDJFA afternoon.

As we have seen a lot of kids wearing their new saints polos to training we have arranged a Saints training singlet to be made available to players at a cost of $10. The club will pay the balance. Can you please place your orders and give the $10 cash to your team managers so that we can get the first run happening soon. Sizing will be similar to the shirts but if in doubt maybe go for a tighter fit for training.

Hopefully this is an affordable option for most people.
