Amy 27th April 2012 The 2012 draw is now available. I'll update
team pages with individual draw details in the next
few days, but if anybody is desperate to know more
right now, please download the draw
spreadsheet (N.B. now updated to version 2).
17th April 2012 Just a quick reminder about the Bay Day
tournament, to be held on Saturday 28th April at Rex
Morpeth Park in Whakatane. It's a great start to
the season, where children can get to know others in
their team by playing in a round-robin type
competition, getting plenty of games under their
belts in a relatively short time. All teams have
been entered, so if you can't make it please inform
the relevant coach (N.B. see team lists for team and coach
details).
16th April 2012 We don't have exact details about the tournament at this stage, but it normally runs from about 9 in the morning to early-/mid-afternoon. When we have more information we'll let you know. There has been a problem viewing some
website pages on some browsers. I've made some
repairs, but please let me know about any additional problems (via ojsc.webmaster@gmail.com) and accept my apologies for
unexpected presentation changes.
12th April 2012 The website handover is now complete;
please send all requests/complaints/feedback/etc to
ojsc.webmaster@gmail.com.
19th March 2012 More importantly, the 2012 team lists have now been posted! I'm finally back but not for long. This
week I have school camp and then I will get a chance
to clean the website out from last year and
hopefully hand it over to someone else to organise
for you.
From Amy 16th March 2012 In the mean time if you have any queries get in touch with our president Amy or Jan Hogg. Other points to note are detailed below in two letters from Amy, the first outlines the trial dates and the second is a welcome letter that also has a link to the registration site. Thanks for everything over the past three years and I hope to see you all around the pitchs. Simon DEAR ALL OJSC PARENTS,

Welcome to the Ohope Junior Soccer Club
2012 Season!
Let me start off by
saying a huge ‘THANK YOU’ to all those parents,
coaches, committee members and sponsors who helped
give our club such a wonderful 2011 season.
And of course to the players, these wonderful and
enthusiastic children are what make our club so
great! Thanks kids!!!
With our 2012 season come some changes ... OJSC along with the rest of the soccer clubs in the Eastern Bay will trial the ‘National Junior Framework’ under ‘The Waikato Bay of Plenty Football Federation’ or ‘WaiBOP’ for short. Firstly, this means a change in what grades are referred to. 6th Grade will now be known as Under 6, 7th Grade - Under 7 and so on. So, if your child turns 6 before the 31st of December, they will be classified as Under 6 grade this year. Budding Beckhams (4-5
year
olds)
3 v 3 or 4 v 4
Under 6 (5-6 year
olds) (prev known as 6th
Grade)
3 v 3 or 4 v 4
Under 7 (6-7 year olds) 5 v 5 no goalie Under 8 (7-8 year olds) 5 v 5 with goalie Under 9 (8-9 year olds) 7 v 7 with goalie Under 11 (9-11 year olds) 9 v 9 with goalie Under 13 (11-13 year olds) 11 v 11 with goalie For our youngest
players, The Budding Beckhams (4-5 year olds) and
our Under 6's, a ‘Pod‘ system is planned and will be
held at Warren Park in Whakatane every Saturday
morning from 9.30 am - 10.30 am. In a
nutshell, it means younger players will have
increased ball contact and they will face more
competition by playing more teams as opposed to just
one. We will get more information through to
you as soon as possible or you can call Mike Ward on
(07) 211 7855, mobile 021 321 358.
Another change this
season to help create a more enjoyable atmosphere
each Saturday morning at Bluett Park (as
well as help raise some funds for our club) is the
introduction of a sausage sizzle and a small snack
shop. The idea is to organise a team roster to
run the fundraising activities - cooking sausages,
selling bottled water, fruit, potato chips and so
on. Once teams and numbers are known, a roster
will be drawn up with only a small commitment
required of each team throughout the season.
More information will follow before the season kicks
off.
There will also be some changes at Bluett Park with the layout of some of our pitches as the Ohope Tennis Club is keen to relocate their courts. Nothing has been decided 100% yet but we will keep you posted. The council is proposing to add a footpath around the perimeter of the fields close to the drains and we are hoping that some sort of fencing will be erected to stop balls going into the drain - yay! Another big change this season will be the introduction of GoalNet to complete all registrations and payments. GoalNet is a new and exciting web based solution which allows clubs to manage membership information, registrations and payments. TO REGISTER YOUR CHILD WITH THE OJSC AND TO PAY YOUR MEMBERSHIP FEES, PLEASE GO TO: AND FOLLOW THE PROMPTS - easy peasy! Please note registrations close on GoalNet on the 21st of April 2012. Membership fees for the 2012 season are as follows Budding Beckham’s and Under 6 - $40.00 per child Under 7 - Under 13 Grades - $55.00 per child Family discounts - 2 players = $10.00 off total fees, 3 players = $15.00 off total fees Coaching discounts = $10.00 off total fees Sadly we say goodbye
to a few committee members this year. Our
cracking ‘Club Captain’ Mr. Kenny McCracken, our
treasured ‘Treasurer’ Mr. Andrew Gordon and the
wonderful wizard of a ‘Webmaster’ Simon Mitchell ...
you will all be sorely missed and we can’t thank you
enough for all for your time and effort over the
last 3-5 years. Smashing boys!
On that note, the Committee desperately needs new members & we encourage anyone who would like to join the team to please do so. Any and all help is welcomed and much very much appreciated! The more the merrier and many hands make light work. If you are interested in joining the Committee, please contact Jan Hogg on jan@coastalbuild.co.nz or register your interest via GoalNet. Our committee members for 2012 so far are... Amy
Hayes
President
Ph:
3125394
Jan Hogg Secretary Ph: 3125730 Glenn Ellery Treasurer Ph: 3124657 As the ‘Grade Coordinators’ and ‘Team Managers’ did such wonderful jobs last season, we will be electing people for these roles again. Their main job will be to liaise with parents and the committee and support coaches throughout the season, assisting with trials etc. If you are interested in assisting in either of these roles for the 2012 season, please contact Jan Hogg on jan@coastalbuild.co.nz or register your interest via GoalNet.
