Training
We are seeking clarification on the 10 people (and increase
to 20 people) restrictions to understand if this is by team or club and is it
affected by areas available.
Whilst we work though this AJSC will providing approval to
train and controlling the time slots to manage these restriction and social
distancing – worst case is that only one team will be permitted to train at a
time. ASJC will work though coaches to
set these timeslots
Coaches must make a request to AJSC for training timeslot,
this will then require oval booking and confirmation
No shared equipment – both personal and club equipment. The
equipment shed remains closed until such times as we are permitted to share
equipment and can put in place appropriate controls for it’s cleaning etc.
As parents and siblings that attend are counted in the 10 (or
20) they need to remain in cars in carpark if they are to stay to ensure coach
can stick to the required numbers i.e. Players and invited assistants only.
At this stage all attendees at training are to bring their
own ball and hand sanitizer. Social
distancing is to be strictly enforced. A
more detailed information on hygiene expectations at Training is available and
has been provided to coaches requesting permission to train
Option to training is solely at the discretion of your coach
and they will be in contact with you if they are proposing to do this.
Fee
Reductions/Refunds
At this stage we are going to have a reduced season in terms
of number of rounds – AJSC will refund proportionally any fees that it can due
to the reduced number of rounds.
AJSC Fees are made of 3 distinct components
- External Body Fee (CCJSA, Football West, FFA) – We don’t make decisions on the value of
these and will refund any reduction that is offered to us in full.
- AJSC Fixed Component – Certain smaller portion of Fees are fixed – we need to pay these
regardless of number of rounds in a season etc (Software Fees, Wages, Trailer
Registrations, Equipment Replacement etc)
We are reviewing all potential
costs that can defer this year (equipment replacements etc) to allow a
reduction in this area.
- ASJC Variable Component – Larger portion of our fees is variable, as the number of
rounds is reduced so is the cost (Referees, Oval Hire, Lighting, Canteen Staff
etc) This will be refunded based on final number of rounds fixtured. The volunteer levy paid is considered a
variable part and will be included in the reduction and refund as well.
The committee will continue to review and will make the reduction
in fees known once a season fixture is published and expectations around managing
The AJSC policy of full refund up to and including the 3rd
round on the season will not apply if the season is 5 or less rounds – request
for refund will need to be made week prior to the first round in this case.
Refunds will be via Bank Transfer only and made on a
Fortnightly basis as bank details are provided.
You will receive email request for bank details once the reduction and
refund is known and season has commenced.
Effective from 14th May 2020 to 15th
June 2020 unless update issued prior
