Eastern Region SSG Gala Day a great success!! 

Ringwood City Juniors hosted a 'local' Small-Sided Games (SSG) Gala Day for 5-8 year olds from four local clubs.  The Gala Day was held at Manson Reserve on Saturday, August 16 between 10:00 am and 12:30 pm.

The day saw teams from Ringwood's U6, U7 and U8 SSG age groups pitting themselves against teams from Boronia, Montrose or Mooroolbark in a 'round robin' format according to SSG formats and rules.

The weather held off and a great day with lots of fun for the kids was enjoyed by all.  The games were played in a terrific spirit and a fantastic atmosphere was present throughout proceedings.

Thank you to all who contributed to a great day and all the contributing clubs are looking forward to repeating the experience much more often next year.

Well done to all involved!!

May 17 Gala Day postponed

Unfortunately a number of factors have conspired to make it impossible for us to run our first Small-Sided Games Gala Day on May 17.  We will catch it up at the end of the season, probably in the early weeks of September after the Junior season finishes.

May 17, therefore will be a normal SSG / Introductory Skills morning.  Our first Gala Day will now be June 21 and details will be provided closer to the date.

SSG Gala Days commence June 21

Throughout the SSG season Ringwood City will combine with other nearby clubs to give the kids a chance to display their skills in a series of multi club 'Gala Days'  'Gala Days'  'Gala Days'    [more]

Ex Socceroos and National Technical Director support SSG

SSG season resumes at Jubilee Park

The Small-Sided Games (SSG) and Introductory Skills sessions have been relocated until the situation at Manson Reserve is resolved.

The senior club has kindly offered the SSG group the use of their ground at Jubilee Park until Manson Reserve is able to be used again.  The seniors are happy for the main pitch to be used, so that option is likely to be utilised.  Those of you who registered with the club on registration day (Feb 10) will already be familiar with the ground.

The details are:

9:30 - 11:30 am (unchanged) at
Jubilee Park
Reilly St
Ringwood
Melway 49 J11

We will continue to review the conditions at Manson Reserve on a regular basis and will keep you informed of progress. [more]

SSG season suspended pending improvements in ground conditions at Manson Reserve.

Unfortunately persistent drought conditions have had an adverse impact on the grounds at Manson Reserve and we are obliged to suspend the SSG program until they improve.  We were informed by council during the week that the grounds were considered too hard to play on and unsafe for players.

We take the safety of the players very seriously and consequently we have little option but to suspend the SSG / Introductory Skills program at Manson until either its condition improves or we have access to a alternate venue.

We will be reviewing the conditions regularly and will keep you informed of progress.

I understand that most of the children will be disappointed, but unfortunately the situation is largely out of Ringwood City's control.

Additional registration requirements for SSG participants

It has come to the Junior committee's attention that there are further FFA registration requirements for SSG participants.  Please come prepared when the SSG sessions commence at Manson Reserve   [more]

Please bring GoalKick ball to Introductory Skills sessions

Where possible, could all participants from previous GoalKick programs please bring the ball they have received in that program to the Introductory Skills sessions commencing on April 5.

All participants will be provided with a ball (size 3) through the 'Athlete's Foot' chain of stores some time in late June or early July when registrations have been  processed by the FFV.  At that time you will receive a voucher which may be redeemed at an Athlete's Foot outlet.
