25.01.2022 Were very excited to announce a return to training on Sunday mornings (no games yet), commencing June 7th! Rest assured, we are implementing Covid safe practices in alignment with the NSW and Federal governments, and the AFL. (more details to follow closer to June 7th). We cant wait to see everyone

25.01.2022 Hi all Blues Reminder we are playing Namubucca Lions at EJ Biffen Playing Fields @ Fred Brain Ave, Nambucca Heads, tomorrow. Try and get to the ground in plenty of time for a warm up. Drive safely Parents. ... Auskick "rookies" (non-tacklers) have the bye as Nambucca dont have the numbers this week. Enjoy the sleep in! Happy fathers day to all the dads out there Go Blues.

August 2nd vs Nambucca Valley @ Home August 9th vs Sawtell Toormina @ Richardson Park For u11s and u13s, your official draw is here: https://websites.sportstg.com/assoc_page.cgi?assoc=6247 How great is it to have footy back

17.01.2022 Here was the update from the Breakers earlier today (re. the weather). Seems like its game on for tomorrow, at this stage. Well let you know if anything changes, otherwise see you in the morning! Go Blues

17.01.2022 A big Sunday of Junior footy at Centennial with all age groups playing at home. Auskick games against Lions start at 8:30am, so plan to arrive by 8am. U11 game against Dockers starts at 9:30am so arrive by 9am U13 game against Dockers starts at 10:50am so arrive by 10:20am... Canteen will be open. Tina in the canteen will need some parents to help out so please drop by and let her know if you can help even if only for half hour or so. Weather for Sunday looks good. Go Blues

17.01.2022 IMPORTANT AUSKICK UPDATE: It turns out weve jumped the gun on Auskick and are not cleared to return to training (whoops)! All other age groups are OK. There was a miscommunication between AFL (NSW) and our club on this matter. It seems crazy that Juniors have been cleared to train, but not Auskick. But these are crazy times! In fairness to the AFL it seems to be related to insurance side of things and largely out of their hands. There will be NO AUSKICK THIS SUNDAY and well provide further updates as they come to hand. Im sure well have some disappointed little people out there. Please apologise on our behalf and tell them were hoping that this is a very short delay (hopefully only this week).

The location is Woopi Beach Reserve - look for us on the grassy area near the new SLSC, where the markets are usually held....

I'm sure we'll have some footballs lying around if anyone wants to have a kick-to-kick in the park! (space permitting). The AFL Masters North Coast are having a game at 2pm at Brelsford Park, Coffs Harbour on the same day for all those who are interested. Open to mens/women/kids (we'll do a separate post on that with more details). Thanks again to everyone involved in making the most of a challenging 2020. We look forward to seeing you all in 2020!

05.01.2022 Were back this Sunday morning at Centennial Oval for some footy training for our juniors Auskick 9am-10am. All other age groups 10:30am-Midday. We are following the "Return to Small Group Training Protocols", set by AFL NSW, to ensure small group training occurs in a safe, hygienic and controlled manner.... Here is a summary of how it will work: We will split the oval into 3 zones, with no more 10 people per zone (including coaches and helpers). See the image for an idea of the layout If we need more than 3 zones, we have the space beyond the goals at the southern end of the oval that can be used to create additional zones Once in a zone, you will remain in that zone until the conclusion of training Simple, non-contact, socially distanced activities only! Parents are asked to remain well off the field. Please dont congregate, and maintain social distancing at all times No access to change-rooms, canteen, wet areas etc. We must maintain a register of all attendees for contract tracing purposes and we recommend everyone with a phone installs the Covid-19 tracing app Our Covid-19 safety officer is Karl and he (and all volunteers) will be ensuring we operate in a safe and compliant manner I suggest you also check out the AFL North Coast Facebook page for more info & updates. Please comment or reach out directly if you have any questions. See you Sunday

We will be running one final training session to conclude 2020 next Wednesday (Sep 23rd). ... It will be a fun session with adults versus kids activities & matches! For all the helpers and parents who want to have some fun, make sure you bring your joggers! And for those who can't (or would rather not) that's fine, we'll pair up kids and make sure your child doesn't miss out (and us coaches are fully prepared to take on multiple kids. Haha). We won't be able to have the usual club presentation event this year, due to the covid restrictions around "gatherings", however, we are considering some kind of "drop in" event. This is tenantively being set for AFL Grand Final day (AFL grand final is at night this year, so the day is free). We'll provide an update at a later stage as to whether this is going ahead or not. Thanks and well done to everyone for a great year, the support has been amazing and hopefully we've given the kids some joy during a very challenging year! Go Blues
