Women’s Football 2010
Gladesville Ravens welcomes all new and existing players and parents to the 2010 season.
Ravens will be conducting soccer clinics in 2010 with the cooperation of our Women’s Super League Senior girls, to improve and develop the girl’s skills and enjoyment of the game. Tony Ikonomou, former NSL player and Ravens supporter has been engaged to deliver the Girls Football Academy for ages 9 years to 12 years.
So, if you think your daughter has something special, or she just wants to improve her skills, then see the flyer and registration details on the website. The Academy will commence in early March.
VOLUNTEERS AS COACHES AND MANAGERS SOUGHT
Please remember that the teams cannot play without coaches and managers. We would like to whole heartedly ask parents to step forward to fill these roles. Assistance and training can be provided for new people. The club does its best to find people for these roles but we need your cooperation.
MINI FOOTBALL COORDINATOR (Urgent)
We require a volunteer to assist with coordinating the U7, U8 and U9 groups. This person would work with the Women’s Director to facilitate communication with coaches, managers and parents of the above age groups and would ideally be a parent with kids in this group. Contact Rob Barbagallo if you can help please. Contact details are below
TEAM PLACEMENT & SELECTION
Girls U7, U8 & U9
The NWSWF association has deemed these competitions to be non-competitive in 2010, hence teams will be arranged on a friendship and /or school basis.
Girls U10 to U14
All girls will be required to assemble as per the table below, so that we can place the girls into their relevant teams.
A key focus is for girls to play in teams of like ability, as a club we would like to provide opportunities for all girls.
NWSWF (our local association) will endeavour to provide 2 competitions per age groups; this will be dependant on the number of teams in the particular competition and the team number threshold they will be using to create the 2 divisions. We intend to use this framework to provide opportunities for all players.
To this end, our intention is to have all girls for the age groups U10 to U14 attend the team placement day as per the table below. This will provide opportunities for the girls to express their desire.
All girls are to come dressed in boots, shin paid, shorts and water bottle.
Please email robbarba@bigpond.com or call me if you wish to discuss your situation.
Please be aware that we shall endeavour to do our best to meet the needs of the girls and the club, team sizes will need to be considered and this will be based on a case by case basis with the coach. We believe that each team should carry no more than 3 reserves. This will assist in the best delivery of manageable team sizes.
Girls U15 to U18
Teams will be formulated based on last year’s selections. Please email me of any concerns or preferences robbarba@bigpond.com
All Age Women’s Team
All players competing in the AA2-5 teams will be required to meet at Peel Park on Saturday afternoon to determine teams and divisions. Please see table below
NWSWF (North West Sydney Women’s Football) Competition
Competition will start the second Sunday in April – 11/04/2010 and concludes end of August 2010. Games will be played throughout the school holidays and we hope that you consider your commitment to the girls teams when making holiday arrangements. Round Robins and Grand finals will be played in August.
All Games will be played on Sundays with the majority of games at Morrison Park, Bill Mitchell, Monash Oval, Westminster Park, Bremner Park, Meadowbank.
NWSWF have indicated that there will be more home games for some clubs this year due to requests and availability of fields so we may expect to travel in the local metro area a bit more this year.
TRAINING
Training will be held one night a week either Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday evenings at one of the following ovals; Westminster, Monash, both on Ryde Rd, Meadowbank, and Gladesville Reserve. Training nights and times ARE TO BE coordinated with the Womens Director in order to alleviate pitch overcrowding, and will be decided in late February with the relevant age coach and managers whom will be notifying teams. In the event that coaches wish to train two nights a week, all teams will be given preference based on their first night. The second night MUST BE cleared with the Womens Director so that space and times can be found. However consideration will need to be given for the use of Meadowbank as a training ground, we cannot have 80 teams training on just Westminster & Monash.
TRIAL GAMES
Trial games are scheduled for 2-3 Sundays in March in the Gladesville /Hunters Hill area.
Your Team Manager will advise you of the forthcoming draw.

Ravens Academy
On behalf of Geoff Bannister and myself, I would like to thank all the parents and kids that participated in the Ravens Junior Academy for 2009. Wet weather caused many cancellations, and forced us to continue into the 3rd term of school to make up missed nights. The girls were great. They listened carefully and undertook the drills organised by Geoff with enthusiasm and intensity. Stars of the future they may turn out to be. I hope they had fun along the way and we look forward to their participation next year if that’s what they want to do.
Thank you
Goal Keeping Coaching
A big thank you to Jess and Clare for taking the junior goalies under their wing. Numbers started out OK but dwindled as the season progressed. For those that participated, thank you for your continued attendance. Hopefully we will be doing it all again next year.
Women’s State League
WSL U14 played in the Kanga Cup U15 competition and were semi finalists. Jessica Cerro won player of the series. Well done to the U14.
For the season, U14’s made the minor semi final but lost to Southere and Reserve grade also made the minor semi finals but lost to Sydney Tigers.
I hope you have all enjoyed the 2009 season, and we look forward to seeing you all next year.

Women's Club Football - NWSWF Team Sheet 2009
Download the PDF below.
Please remember that you can only play 16 players in any game, so if you have extras on your team sheet they will need to be crossed off before the game commences. Failure to do this will result in a loss of points should you win as there is no way to prove that you only played 16 players.
Womens Football - Team lists and other Information
The team lists for U8 through U18 have been sent to Coaches in the last few days. The Coaches will be in contact with you shortly.
Thank you for your patience in what has been a very difficult process of grading and sorting over 300 girls by a small band of volunteers. If you have not heard from anyone by next weekend or you have an issue with the team your child is in please call the Women's football contacts, Rob Barbagallo or Russell Field.
Please remember before you call that we try to do our best by everyone, not just a few individuals and that what we do for one will be expected of us by many.
An effort to get some trial games up and running is becoming difficult to due to lack of ground availability. Coaches and Managers will forward any information relating to this in the near future. Please remember: grass shoes only allowed for training /games during March.
We can't stress how important it is that you provide us with your correct email address and check your emails regularly. This the main method of communication and it cost us less than phone calls. We have had a number of email addresses bounce back already, so please check you details with your coaches and managers.
New Grading Policy
On behalf Gladesville Ravens management committee we would like to extend our gratitude to all coaches, managers, for their support over
the season. Without your support the club & more importantly your own teams couldn't survive without that loyalty & time dedicated to providing sport in the community.
For those teams participating in this weekend Championship Grand finals U12 div1 and U12 div 2, U10 div1, U10 div2 , U9 div1 and Pennant Finals U11 div1 U14 div1 and U16 div1 we wish you all every success.

As a club we would like to provide opportunities for all girls, those who wish to achieve results and for those who are happy to participate and develop socially in a team environment. NWSWF association are now providing 2 competitions per age groups and we intend to use this framework to provide opportunities for all players.
To this end, we propose in 2009 to support the 2 competitions per age group in the following manner.
• One team with a focus on results, development, commitment, participation and social enjoyment the other
• A focus on participation, development and social enjoyment.
Age groups that will be considered are U11 through to U16 how ever U12, U14 & U16 will be the primary focus. I am hopeful that there will be sufficient interest in those age groups.
U9 & U10 Age Groups who still play on ¾ field are still considered social and in a skill development period therefore the grading of this age groups will not occur, however I would like any input by coaches and parents relating to returning players and new recruits for the 2009 season. If there is sufficient interest then we shall consider the option to evaluate the girls who are interested.
U8 age groups. There may be players that may benefit moving up an age group. Consideration will be given based on parent & coaches input.
We understand the 2008 small fields were very frustrating for the children who participated this season 2008. We have evaluated the situation and would encourage any children with developed ball skills, awareness of positioning and who are physically capable to move to the U9. We will look to the coaches and parents to recommend if whole team or individual players should move.
I would also like to stress this proposal is for the development of the girls and their needs and this must come first. The evaluation will only be for girls who wish to be evaluated and would appreciate the support of all coaches with a view to the bigger picture.
The girls that seeking a focus on results, development, commitment as a primary objective will have an opportunity to undergo evaluation in October. We will circulating nomination as soon as venue and dates are confirmed typically this will be Sundays in mid to late October 2008. They will run in parallel with Raven’s Women’s Super League evaluations.
