Welcome to the Emu Plains Football Club Website

Last updated 5 February, 2012 9:46 PM

Hunter Fields are currently CLOSED.

We have been notified by Council that there were some teams still training on the fields when they were closed. This could have had major repercussions for the club, as Council has the right to deny any club the privilege of using their fields if they aren't being used as instructed. That was our warning from PCC. DO NOT use the fields for training if they are closed.

Training Rules :

1. Please ensure you stay out of the goal mouths. Teams seen using the goal mouths for training will face disciplinary action.
2. Any teams seen training on any part of Hunter Fields, when they are deemed to be closed, will wear the fines imposed by Council and lose training privileges.
3. Glass Bottles are prohibited at Hunter Fields (please see note below).
4. Please place all your rubbish in the bins provided after training and on game days, don't leave it to others to clean up after you.
5. Juniors Training to be finished by 7:30pm.
6. Seniors Training is not to commence until 7:30pm if there are already Junior Teams training on that field.
7. All players must wear boots and shin pads whilst training.
8. Only registered coaches and managers are to train players.

Breaches of the above rules may result in suspension (for individuals and/or teams) from ground privileges and/or other disciplinary action, as seen fit by the Committee.

Message From NDSFA re Glass Bottles & Alcohol Consumption

• There are no glass bottles allowed on any field in the Nepean District.  All councils have a ban on glass bottles at playing fields.
• There is to be no consumption of alcohol, at all, at grounds that have a total ban.  If approached by a club official to pack up the esky, please do so without backchat.  Officials are all volunteers who give up their time freely to serve your community and make it a better place.  They don’t deserve smart mouthed drunks giving them a hard time. 
• At all other fields, there is a 10m rule.  No consumption of alcohol within 10m of a playing field.  Some clubs have designated areas.  If members are directed to a designated area, they should oblige the request made of them without fuss or argument.

Sponsorship

We're seeking sponsors for our many teams for next year. Please see James Warwick or Peter Harris if you are interested in becoming a Club Sponsor or you have a lead that we could follow up.

This website is still being developed. Any suggestions for improvement or content ideas should be sent to the club's email (epfc@optusnet.com.au).
