Girls Please Read
Today Salisbury Villa U/15's won their Challenge Cup 4-1 over Para Hills East and guess what Salisbury Villa has a female coach Sue Tripodi. Salisbury Villa finished 3rd in their league some 14 points behind league winners Para Hills but beat that team 2-0 in round three of the cup. This reaffirms that what you need as a coach is the ability to connect with your players, believe in them and give them faith in themselves so that they can rise to the occasion. Well done Sue and her U/15's, EDJSA hopes that she and others like her will coach at junior level and help breakdown some of the male stereo-typing and the resulting unrealistic demands that are placed on our young players.

Video & Photograph of Your Child
(Q) Can I photograph or Video my childs game?
(A) Yes you can subject to previsions listed below.
On the 4th of June 2006 EDJSA posted the latest response to our Video & Photograph policy basically saying that after discussions with the State Government about the EDJSA Video & Photograph Policy there has been a shift in the way that this policy is to be implemented. All club officials including coaches are to be vigilent and approach any person who is not a known relative of the players and advise them of the existing policy and ask them to abide by it. All relatives are therefore able to take videos and/or photographs without being in breach of this policy. The most important factor is that "If any parent objects to their childs photo or image being taken "YOU MUST STOP IMMEDIATELY".

EDJSA Chairman's Apology
I wish to use this forum to issue a public apology to one of my recent retired executive committee members.
I direct this apology to Jim Wildman, who, as of the 2005 AGM has retired from direct involvement with junior soccer after many years devoted to coaching and administrative involvement.
Jim's last involvement in an administrative capacity was as DC Chairman of the association, a role he carried out with his usual efficiency. Added to this though Jim also held a dual role by also holding the position of Publicity Officer in the absence of an appointee to the position.
At the recently held AGM, Jim's position as DC Chairman was contested by two persons and it was at this time that I was remiss in not acknowledging Jim's decision to retire and thanking him for his service in front of his peers, the Council of Clubs delegates.
I fully accept the blame for this oversight and apologise to Jim for not addressing the honors deserved on the night.
Finally Jim please allow me to wish you all the best for your future plans and rest assured that my executive and junior soccer in general, has benefited over many years from your tireless efforts and involvement.
Kind Regards,
Ray Matthews (EDJSA Chairman)
