25.01.2022 A reminder to adhere to the latest NSW govt directives at all games today. * Preferably 1 parent to 1 player to attend * Please keep you social distance of a minimum of 1.5 mtrs * Leave straight after the game. ... Without all of us adhering to these restrictions we run the risk of this season being cancelled

25.01.2022 The committee of the GPR are still looking for a coach for our U12's team for this season. If there are any parents of our U12's team who are able to assist with training/ coaching we would love you to let us know. Without a dedicated coach for the team, it does put pressure on the other coaches both on training days and game days. We NEED to have someone with the team on game day as the representative for the team/ club. ... If we had a volunteer to assist with training for the younger team, training could possibly be brought forward to a 4pm start for the U12's to avoid training as the light fades. We understand a number of our families have raised concern about the lighting at the grounds on training days. We strongly encourage you to speak with our club President, Greg about these concerns. Thank you to everyone for your continued support in the rebuilding of the Green Point Rovers!

11.01.2022 COVID 19 - OFFICIAL STATEMENT, Thursday, 16 July 2020. All sporting organisations in NSW have received a request from the state government for additional measures to be taken to protect against the spread of COVID-19. The request is to incorporate the following in our safety plan:... Ensure processes are in place to exclude participants (including spectators and officials) if they have visited Victoria in the 14 days prior. Ensure processes are in place to exclude participants (including spectators and officials) if they have attended any of the reported case locations listed on the NSW Health website (https://www.nsw.gov.au/covid-19/latest-news-and-updates). Take all reasonable steps to minimise the number of spectators attending community sport events. If sufficient numbers to field teams cannot be achieved, prioritise delaying the event rather than substituting with people from other teams or from the comm I encourage you to read the communication from the NSW Government which can be viewed here: https://northernnswfootball.com.au//Letter-from-the-CHO_16 We’re all in this together and will act immediately. We will email updated signage for visitors from Victoria and Sydney Hotspots tomorrow. We will do our bit by appropriate spacing of games and encouraging participants to limit the number of spectators and continue social distancing measures whenever possible. There is no change to the playing of football. We are playing Friday night and on Saturday. The request from the state government is effective immediately and is vital for the successful continuation of all sport in the state. Football’s governing bodies are working to requirements from government and developing a revised safety plan for community football in the light of today’s announcement. We will share this plan with clubs on Friday. Once this is complete, we will update it on our online channels and advise all FMNC clubs in readiness for this weekend’s activities. Clubs will have their revised safety plans on hand at venues over the weekend. Bruce Potter General Manager Football Mid North Coast
