Level B Training is Here, Training Groups of 20 – Updated 15/6/2020
Today, the club emailed the following message to Team Managers after a well managed level A return to training over the past couple of weeks.. We are excited that games are now just round the corner.
“As mentioned this past week FNSW approved the resumption of competition which will start on the weekend of 3/4/5 July.
The training schedule also now can move to Level B. Training times and days at this stage won’t change, teams can now train as a single group. Back to back sessions are now one session and can train within the times allocated. Training and drills can now have 20 in a group (19 + coach). You will still need to fill out a register for the training session. All other training guidelines remain the same.
Spectators are not permitted. One Parents/caregivers is permitted for supervision purposes and if feasible they are encouraged to wait in the car, outside the venue to avoid gatherings
Players are not to arrive at training more than 15 minutes before a session begins and should remain in the car until 5 minutes before the session begins.
At ‘Level B’ restrictions, training must be non-contact skill training – so passing, shooting and headers are permitted; tackling is not.
Team managers must complete a register of attendance at every training session. This will facilitate contact tracing, in the event that a player tests positive.
Players are not to attend training if they have been unwell or been in contact with a suspected case of COVID-19 within the past 14 days.
Players would bring their own hand sanitiser to training with them.Toilets will be open, but changing facilities will not be available.
The full details of the Football NSW Return to Training guidelines can be found via the link below.”

Presentation of the 2019 Golden Boot Shield Northbridge FC U12 – U18 mixed and girls award.
In the inaugural year Jesse, from the 2019 U14B team, scored 37 goals in the 19 games he played and also a hattrick when he played up a year for the U15B’s. Jesse’s goals helped the U14B team to the Divisional title and Grand Final victory.
This Shield has been very kindly donated anonymously. It was planned to present the shield at the Managers’ Meeting on the 26th March but due to the postponement has been now presented to Jesse at home in front of his parents, Kuniko and Danny.
The Max Meyer Award is an annual award that will be presented to the highest goal scorer each season for the U12 to U18 mixed and girls age groups. So please make sure you keep track of your goal scorers at you managers’ login so we know who will be the 2020 recipient.

While we’re all coming to terms with not playing football for a while due to COVID-19, the club’s technical staff has designed age-based programs, which should help players maintain their fitness and performance ability in these uncertain times.
We encourage our members to get stuck in and hope to see everyone back on the park soon.

The Northbridge U16 Red Academy team capped off a remarkable season with a dominant 7-1 victory against Bonnyrigg FC in the Champion of Champions Grand Final at Valentine Park on Sunday.
The Northbridge Academy team of the year rose to the challenge of the big occasion and while the result was one sided, the red and white had to work hard against a skillful and determined opposition.
But it was the Northbridge passing game driven from midfield that ultimately the champions of Southern Districts had no answer for, as the Academy team time and time again shifted the ball around the park with unbroken sequences of up to 13 passes opening up Bonnyrigg time after time. Every player contributed in a true team performance.
Northbridge’s forwards were clinical and ruthless, and the scoreline made amends for results that flattered some opposition earlier in the campaign. Team captain Liv Kearney led the line and scored five, with Arabella Ohlsson and Arabella Hendricks also finding the net.
While there were plenty of goals scored, special mention must be made of the Northbridge defence. During the NSFA season the ‘Great Wall of Northbridge’ conceded just seven goals. They were even more miserly in the Champion of Champions competition, conceding just two goals in five games against the very best NSW community teams.
Congratulations to all players and team officials for a stellar season A special mention must be made to coach Ciaran McCabe who has worked with this group of players for many years and built an outstanding team who have impressed all with their skill, determination and sportsmanship, and shown themselves to be at the pinnacle of youth community football in NSW.
From all at Northbridge FC – congratulations on your hard work being rewarded with this result and we are proud of you all.
