If we want to keep their sponsorsip dollars rolling in then we need to show up in numbers so if you've nothing else planned you attendance is expected.

With our season fast approaching, it is time to get the clubhouse sorted and grounds marked, nets checked, pegs accounted for, etc, etc.

Remember we pay a very small fee for the use of the junior ground during the season. If we want to keep it that way then we need to help out where necessary.

Many hands make light work so if you available on the following day to help out it would be appreciated.

Saturday 24th March, 8am onwards

Commencing Saturday 10th March until the first round of the season, Figtree FC will be running intra-club trials at Harry Graham Park

For those that plan to play with Figtree FC this season and have been along to the kick-arounds, please do your best to get there. This also goes for all returning players that are yet to show their faces, even if you have already registered.

New players are welcome but we cannot guarantee a run as we will be using these games to finalise numbers across our 4 teams.

Kick off will be 3.30pm

Registration for Figtree can be made online this year through My Football.

We will also be open for registration at the club house from 12pm - 2pm this Saturday, 25th February 2012.

Registration dates for the Figtree Women's team are as follows:

• Saturday 18^th February 12 to 1pm
• Tuesday  21^st February  7 to  8pm
• Saturday 25^th February 12 to 1pm

All are welcome.

For all of those that are feeling a little bloated, some of the 2012 Div 3 team, along with Ol' Man Webby, have commenced having a kick around on

Saturdays, 4pm @ Roy Johannson Park.

Anyone feeling up for it is welcome to attend. Any questions, simply email the club.

News at hand is that the Illawarra Amateurs will have 7 divisions next year, 4 open divisions, 2 over 35's and one over 40's.

In a bid to not come up against ridiculously strong over 40 teams, we have placed 2 teams in the over 35's, one in division 1 and the other in division 2. Our 2 open age teams are in division 3 (relegated from division2) and division 4 (relegated from division 3).

Hopefully things will fair better for Figtree in 2012.

Just to let you all know that Figtree FC will again be entering 4 teams in the 2012 Football South Coast Amateurs Competition.

There will be

2 teams applying for Div 3 and

2 teams applying for Over 35's.

There is hope that the FSCA will form 3 divisions of Over 35's and reintroduce the promotion/relegation for old farts.

Come registration time, preference will be given to players that are coaches, parents or past players of Figtree Junior Soccer Club. Attendance at pre-season kick-arounds may also be taken into consideration.
