We cater for players in MiniRoos Football – 5/6yrs to 11yrs, Juniors 12yrs to 15yrs, Youth 16yrs to
18yrs and Girls Only teams from 11yrs to 17yrs
Q. I need my child to attend training at a specific time or day?
All of our coaches are volunteers and since they are giving their time and effort, they get to choose
practice days, times and locations subject to the availability of training space. The only way to ensure
a “special” day or time is to volunteer to coach your child’s team. The Club goes to extraordinary
lengths to balance teams. It may not be possible to place your child in another team based solely on
the location, day or times of the other team’s training.
Q. I would like my child to play in the same team as his friends. Is this possible?
Where there is more than one team in an age group, players for teams 12s and above may be
assessed by club officials in order to support the needs of the club, coaches and individual players
and will be placed on the basis of skill level, individual needs and team requirements.
Players for teams 11s and under who wish to play in a team with friends may nominate up to two
players names on their Registration form. The Club will endeavour to place players in the same team
or squad but cannot guarantee to satisfy all requests. The Club will also accept requests from
players to remain with the same team as the previous season, however this may not always be
possible and the club reserves the right to move players across teams where it is considered
necessary. The club will stream players into Competitive and Development teams at 10s and 11s age
groups as required. Players in 10s and 11s teams will be assessed by the club to assist in allocating
players to teams and in allocation of teams to leagues. Players in 8s and 9s age groups may be
assessed by the club in order to balance teams across competitions.
The Committee understands that whilst players may wish to play in the same team as their friends it
is not always possible and while every attempt will be made to accommodate players, the
Committee’s decision will be final. Please see the Club’s Team Selection Policy on our website
Q. What is an FFA number?
All players, general members and club staffers registered to a football club affiliated with the FFA
(The national football body) in Australia are required to have an FFA number. This is a form of
member ID that is recognized both nationally and internationally. You must have an FFA number to
register with any Club Australia wide. Players that have played for Hamersley Rovers Junior FC or any
other club will already have an FFA number. New players to the game in Australia will need to obtain
one. This is an easy process and takes a few minutes on line. Most people won’t know their number
or may not know their passwords as in the past a club would complete the registration by entering
details from the traditional methods of registration. For new or renewed members please follow the
MyFootballClub Player Registration Guide provided on the Registration Section of the Club website,
to access or create an FFA number and complete your registration.

Q. Why do I need to register with the FFA through MyFootballClub?
If you do not register with the FFA you will not be eligible to play in the competition. The Club
requests players to ‘self-register’ as it is a quick process – if the Club was to register all players on
your behalf we would require additional resources resulting in increased fees to cover the increase
in administration costs.
Q. How long is the season?
Training starts in March. The first game is usually the first or second Sunday in April the last game is
usually early to mid-September.
Q. What equipment must I provide for my child to play soccer with Hamersley Rovers Junior FC?
The Club provides a shirt for the season (to be returned in good condition at the end of the season).
Each player must come equipped with black shorts and socks, (available from the Club if required),
soccer boots and shin guards and drink bottle. Mouthguards are optional.
Q. My child has decided not to play. How do I receive a refund?
Send an email to [email protected] or contact the child's coach to request refund. Once the
season has begun we cannot refund monies paid to Football West or the FFA – these funds are
transferable if you move to another Club. An administration fee will be charged for the processing
of refunds. Please see the Club Registration Policy on our website
Q. I would like to coach my child’s team but I really don’t know anything about soccer or coaching.
Should I still volunteer?
YES!! The Club can provide you with guidance and training. We have an experienced coaching group
that is here to assist all coaches. Everyone was once a new volunteer, and without volunteers we
cannot have a program that will be the best possible for our children.
Q. My child has never played before. Will he/she play as much as those who played last year?
The Club believes that everyone should play as near as equal time in MINIROOS age groups. As the
ages progress playing time is guided by the Club but is overseen by the team Coach, Manager and
parents. Please see our Playing Time Policy on our website.
Q. Can I bring our family dog to practice or games?
The Club does not refuse family pets at training or match day, however we request that you keep
them controlled on a lead and ‘clean up’ after them. There is also No Smoking at any soccer grounds.
Q. How, and when, will I be contacted if I have registered?
Once teams and spaces have been finalized, the Club will contact all new players by email to advise
that your child has or has not been placed in a team. It is critical you provide a telephone number
and an e-mail address on your Player Registration Request.
Returning players are automatically placed into a team – the Club will contact returning players by
email or telephone if there are any issues with the registration or team allocation.
Q. What is the best way to contact someone for more information?
Send email to [email protected]
