Junior and Youth development focuses on structured transitions through the various age groups encompassing specific objectives for each grouping. For instance, U8's to play in clusters with small team size and modified rules. U12's to be introduced to full tackle rules and continued emphasis of player rotation. Two tier competitions for U14's and U15's where teams numbers are 10 or more. More details to be posted when document is finalised. 1.

Wide range of options open to put something tangible into junior footy. You can help us get kids interested in playing while at the same time promoting a healthier life for them and the opportunity of lots of fun and personal achievement. Playing footy costs money and the Club actively promotes participation but to do this we need to keep fees as low as possible so kids can afford to play and also provide enough equipment to develop their skills and maximise the enjoyment of playing. Furthermore, there are lots of other expenses we have to meet each year, such as ground hire, league fees and insurance. For the NHJFC to continue into the future as a viable club and provide football services to the community we need your help. 7. Merchandise is still available and Tracy Cowie can assist via info@demons.asn.au. Don't wait for prices to rise next year. Get in now. 8.

The NHJFC has again been asked to assist the NHFC in delivering services at North Hobart Oval during the finals series. This is an annual requirement and is one way that the junior club can repay the senior club for its valuable support over the seasons. The senior club has offered to make a contribution to the junior club for its support in this regard. The days on which they require support are: They particularly need assistance in the kiosks and bars around the grounds (and in keeping stock) - so if there is any way that you can assist please do not hesitate to nominate - any time that you can spare would be greatly appreciated.

Plenty of fun and prizes on offer. No question about having a good time. Refreshments are available at reasonable prices. 3. The U8's have now got their new jumpers and are the final team to be outfitted in a transition to new jumpers started in 2003. 4. With wetter weather around and predicted this month, training and matches may be cancelled due to ground closures - check with your coach or team manager if in doubt and make sure they have a ready contact for you (preferable email) in case such matters arise. 5. There are 4 roster matches remaining while some teams will play finals and as part of the end-of-year preparations would all players and parents remember to return their NHJFC jumpers after they have played their final game. These jumpers are expensive to replace and are only on loan during the football season and must be returned at the end of the season. The Club will invoice those who fail to return jumpers. 6. A reminder that all players, parents and spectators are required to respect the 'rules of the game' and the Committee and League will not tolerate any actions that contravene these or bring the game into disrepute. This means that umpire's decisions are final whether you agree with them or not; club officials are in control of teams and will make all decisions (within rules) on game play and related matters; rules regarding players and officials clothing must be adhered to; and boundary exclusion rules must be complied with (all except nominated officials are to stay behind the boundary line or fence). 7. Our kiosks still require helpers, mums and dads, particularly at New Town Oval - all help contributes to the success of the Club and ultimately supports your children to play football. 8. Finally, the Club has taken out a big spread in this year's NHFC Yearbook. I recommend you get a copy when published and check it out. The NHFC generally provides copies for all players and these are presented at our end of year celebrations.

U8's are flying with 36 participants getting the drills, spills and thrills of footy. 4. Our kiosk at John Turnbull Oval is going really well and has added healthier food to it's menu. We still need volunteers on match days and welcome your enquiries to Peter Fisher on 0417 376 715 or introduce yourself to the coach or team manager about helping out. The kiosk is open on Wednesday night at training for merchandise sales and collections, new registrations and for paying fees. Colin Garland - former NHJFC player now with Melbourne FC We have just heard from Elite Sports Properties that the Club will receive $1,000 from NAB for Colin Garland having kicked a super-goal in 2008 NAB Cup. The NAB Super goal program ($1,000 for each 9-point 'super goal' scored) has helped grassroots clubs across the country purchase vital equipment such as uniforms, training and medical supplies.

Footy gear donated to good cause and bound for France On Thursday 20 March the North Hobart Football Club donated football equipment to Mrs Mulcahy and Ms Alison Ritchie and the boys from New Town High School and MacKillop College who are going to visit New Town Primary's Twin School in Villers-Bretonneux; Ecole Victoria where they will present the footy gear and in 50 years time Paris will be in the AFL as today we sow the seed! The partnership is based on a common history involving former students who fought valiantly for the liberation of this village in WW1. New Town students have been corresponding with Ecole-Victoria (named after the state of Victoria who funded the rebuilding of the school) since November 2004. In 2006, the French Ambassador, Monsieur Descoueyte, visited New Town Primary School to oversee the signing of official partnership documents and commented that it would be great for the young students at Ecole-Victoria to learn about Aussie Rules.
