P17 WHAT MAKES THE SPRINGS FOOTBALL EXPERIENCE?

COERVER / WESTERN SPRINGS JULY CAMP 2017

…OUR PRICELESS VOLUNTEERS! With it being ‘National Volunteer Week’, it’s highly appropriate that we recognise the role of volunteers within our Springs community. We are fortunate in that we have a wealth of volunteers that give up their time both on and off the turf to make the football experience at Springs so enjoyable. New Zealand Football are giving out vouchers to a selection of deserving volunteers. If you would like to nominate a volunteer who gives up their time to make your club, grade or team tick then email affcommunications@ aucklandfootball.org.nz and describe in one or two paragraphs what role the person undertakes and how they make an impact in our community.

It would be awesome to have one of our Springs volunteers recognised by New Zealand Football! If you’ve not volunteered so far but have some time, skills or knowledge that may benefit the club and our kids then drop me an email letting me know how you would be keen to help – fdm@wsafc.org.nz.

See some of our volunteer coaches in action in the surrounding photos.

I’d like to thank all of our volunteer coaches for the energy, enthusiasm, care and skills that they bring to Springs. In giving up your time to be on the turf with our lucky kids, you make our in-house football experience such a huge part of the week for the kids and for many the highlight (I believe it may be for some coaches too!).

WSAFC EMERGENCY PROTOCOLS

Lightning

“If you can see it, flee it. If you can hear it, clear it.“

Lightning is dangerous and has struck and killed footballers on the field.

If you can hear thunder then the associated lightning are within auditory range… about 9.5-12.5km away. The distance from the origin of lightning to where it can strike can also be 9.5-12.5km.

Please treat all thunder storms as serious.

Drop, Earthquake cover, hold. During Trainings or Games

If possible move away from buildings, streetlights or utility wires. Stay clear of light towers and other tall structures.

If the earthquake is ‘long and strong’ there is a risk of Tsunami. Evacuate to the safe Tsunami zone in the car parks by Western Springs High School.

Tsunami

WSAFC SPONSORS Phone Paul Thomas

If in doubt, clear the fields. Severe weather may include tornados, hail storms, gale force winds or serious storms.

If you are inside, stay inside, stay where you are until the shaking stops.

Drop to your knees. Cover your head and neck with your arms to protect you from falling debris - if you are able to crawl for additional cover under sturdy desk or table. Stay away from glass, windows, outside doors and anything that could fall such as heaters and light fixtures.

Hold on to sturdy covering so you can move with it until shaking stops.

If there is a long and strong earthquake, get uphill.

Seddon Fields is located with the Evacuation Zone for a medium sized Tsunami. Move immediately to the nearest higher ground.

Know where the tsunami evacuation route goes – the safest place is toward the zoo or Western Springs College.

Fuji Xerox delivers market-leading document services and print solutions.

www.fujixerox.co.nz Complimenting McDonald’s local sponsorship of clubs like Western Springs AFC, a new national sponsorship has been agreed with New Zealand Football.

Building on the Small Whites and McDonald’s Skills Zone programmes, McDonald’s Junior Football cements McDonald’s position as a key supporter of junior football in New Zealand. McDonald’s is working with New Zealand Football to increase the number of young players registered with clubs around the country, and also providing additional resources to football development officers. 15,000 footballs will also be handed out to Kiwi kids through the season.

During Trainings or Games Clear the field immediately and move to higher ground. Listen to local radio stations and do not return to the evacuation zone until given the all clear.

• If there are others in the club, shout ‘FIRE, FIRE, FIRE!’ and assist them out of building • Activate Fire Alarms

Fire

• ‘Get Down, Get Low, Get out - Fast.’

• If you can, close doors behind you to stop the fire spreading.

• Once out, stay out – never go back inside.

• Meet at the planned meeting place – in car park outside club • If you can’t get out of the club, close the door of the room you are in and put a towel under it to stop the smoke coming in. Go to the window and yell ‘FIRE, FIRE, FIRE!’ Wait to be rescued.

• If there is a fire at Seddon Fields, Call 111 immediately

Further information and instructions will be in our clubhouse, on our website and on our App. Please take the time to read them incase of an emergency. www.wsafc.org.nz June 2017 19

Distribution FRI 21 JULY

Our teams competing in AFF leagues have now moved into their post grading leagues and are competing against the best Auckland teams at their level. Some of our teams are trying to maintain their lofty place in the upper parts of their respective leagues whilst others are pitting themselves against other teams for the first time and striving to show off their skills and win a few games. While results are important to the kids (…and coaches and parents!), the continued growth in their game understanding and development of their skills are key to their enjoyment and future love of the game. Lets ensure they keep enjoying their training and games and the learning will follow!

Material FRI 14 JULY 5pm

kids continue to kick start their weekends with the eagerly awaited Friday night football; our fantastic coaches continue to give up their time (and leave work early to dress to impress!) to encourage not just their own teams but others also with their endless enthusiasm and love of the game. Similarly, our Saturday morning Game Leaders enthuse the 5th, 6th and 7th grade kids as their love of the game grows. Our 7th grade development teams have now joined our 8th grade development teams in the 9th and 10th grade in-house and have noticed the greater challenge set out for them.

In our in-house football, with grading rounds having finished for all of our 9th and 10th grade in-house teams, the most competitive part of the season is about to begin as they come together and play against teams spread across both grades with most games being well contested. The 8th grade

WHAT TO DO WHEN A FOOTBALLER GETS INJURED P.R.I.C.E.D

PROTECT from further harm or injury REST – no further play / not to take weight on the injured site ICE – not directly onto skin / apply for 20mins / repeat every 2 hrs in first 48 hours COMPRESSION – firm bandage between icing to reduce swelling ELEVATION – to reduce swelling & bleeding / above the level of the heart DIAGNOSIS – Get the injury evaluated by a medical professional to get a

diagnosis and management plan

AVOID H.A.R.M HEAT – increases bleeding at the site

avoid liniments / heat packs / spa pools / saunas / hot baths ALCOHOL – vasodilator opens blood vessels

increases bleeding, masks pain / reduces awareness / increases stupidity RUNNING – causes further loading onto the injured tissue

get clearance from trained health professional before returning to play MASSAGE – firm massage may increase bleeding and delay healing

WHAT MAKES THE SPRINGS FOOTBALL EXPERIENCE?

…OUR PRICELESS VOLUNTEERS! With it being ‘National Volunteer Week’, it’s highly appropriate that we recognise the role of volunteers within our Springs community. We are fortunate in that we have a wealth of volunteers that give up their time both on and off the turf to make the football experience at Springs so enjoyable. New Zealand Football are giving out vouchers to a selection of deserving volunteers. If you would like to nominate a volunteer who gives up their time to make your club, grade or team tick then email affcommunications@ aucklandfootball.org.nz and describe in one or two paragraphs what role the person undertakes and how they make an impact in our community.

It would be awesome to have one of our Springs volunteers recognised by New Zealand Football! If you’ve not volunteered so far but have some time, skills or knowledge that may benefit the club and our kids then drop me an email letting me know how you would be keen to help – fdm@wsafc.org.nz.

See some of our volunteer coaches in action in the surrounding photos.

I’d like to thank all of our volunteer coaches for the energy, enthusiasm, care and skills that they bring to Springs. In giving up your time to be on the turf with our lucky kids, you make our in-house football experience such a huge part of the week for the kids and for many the highlight (I believe it may be for some coaches too!).

In our in-house football, with grading rounds having finished for all of our 9th and 10th grade in-house teams, the most competitive part of the season is about to begin as they come together and play against teams spread across both grades with most games being well contested. The 8th grade

kids continue to kick start their weekends with the eagerly awaited Friday night football; our fantastic coaches continue to give up their time (and leave work early to dress to impress!) to encourage not just their own teams but others also with their endless enthusiasm and love of the game. Similarly, our Saturday morning Game Leaders enthuse the 5th, 6th and 7th grade kids as their love of the game grows. Our 7th grade development teams have now joined our 8th grade development teams in the 9th and 10th grade in-house and have noticed the greater challenge set out for them.

Our teams competing in AFF leagues have now moved into their post grading leagues and are competing against the best Auckland teams at their level. Some of our teams are trying to maintain their lofty place in the upper parts of their respective leagues whilst others are pitting themselves against other teams for the first time and striving to show off their skills and win a few games. While results are important to the kids (…and coaches and parents!), the continued growth in their game understanding and development of their skills are key to their enjoyment and future love of the game. Lets ensure they keep enjoying their training and games and the learning will follow!

WSAFC EMERGENCY PROTOCOLS Severe weather storms and accidents happen and occasionally we have emergency situations at WSAFC and Seddon Fields. These protocols will keep you and your teams safe at Seddon Fields.

Severe Weather

Be safe.

Plan ahead

Lightning

“If you can see it, flee it. If you can hear it, clear it.“

Earthquake

If in doubt, clear the fields. Severe weather may include tornados, hail storms, gale force winds or serious storms.

Lightning is dangerous and has struck and killed footballers on the field.

If you can hear thunder then the associated lightning are within auditory range… about 9.5-12.5km away. The distance from the origin of lightning to where it can strike can also be 9.5-12.5km.

Please treat all thunder storms as serious.

If you are inside, stay inside, stay where you are until the shaking stops.

Drop to your knees. Cover your head and neck with your arms to protect you from falling debris - if you are able to crawl for additional cover under sturdy desk or table. Stay away from glass, windows, outside doors and anything that could fall such as heaters and light fixtures.

Hold on to sturdy covering so you can move with it until shaking stops.

Drop, cover, hold. During Trainings or Games

If possible move away from buildings, streetlights or utility wires. Stay clear of light towers and other tall structures.

If the earthquake is ‘long and strong’ there is a risk of Tsunami. Evacuate to the safe Tsunami zone in the car parks by Western Springs High School.

Tsunami

If there is a long and strong earthquake, get uphill.

Seddon Fields is located with the Evacuation Zone for a medium sized Tsunami. Move immediately to the nearest higher ground.

Know where the tsunami evacuation route goes – the safest place is toward the zoo or Western Springs College.

During Trainings or Games Clear the field immediately and move to higher ground. Listen to local radio stations and do not return to the evacuation zone until given the all clear.

During Trainings or Games • If there are others in the club, shout ‘FIRE, FIRE, FIRE!’ and assist them out of building • Activate Fire Alarms

Fire

“Get Down, Get Low, Get out – Fast”

• ‘Get Down, Get Low, Get out - Fast.’

• If you can, close doors behind you to stop the fire spreading.

• Once out, stay out – never go back inside.

• Meet at the planned meeting place – in car park outside club • If you can’t get out of the club, close the door of the room you are in and put a towel under it to stop the smoke coming in. Go to the window and yell ‘FIRE, FIRE, FIRE!’ Wait to be rescued.

• If there is a fire at Seddon Fields, Call 111 immediately

Further information and instructions will be in our clubhouse, on our website and on our App. Please take the time to read them incase of an emergency. www.wsafc.org.nz June 2017 19
