Coaches

All teams require a coach to proceed for the season, if you are interested in coaching or managing or to continue from last season, please answer this question in the online registration and / or contact your Age Manager (see contact details on our website www.pennofc.com.au). ALL volunteers MUST be registered to be covered by the Club’s insurance arrangements, and where applicable, Working With Children (“WWC”) clearance will also be required.

In order to develop our coaches, Penno FC will pay for new and existing coaches (and managers) to attend appropriate accredited coaching courses. If interested, and I would encourage you to take up this offer (it is fun and enjoyable and nothing to feel apprehensive about), speak to your Age Manager or our Director of Coaching.

In addition to the above, a Coaches & Managers evening will be arranged for mid-March (tentatively 18-March), when coaches and managers can meet each other and Committee Members as the final part of our preparation for the 2024 season. As with the past few years, we will continue to make this evening a bit more social, in part to say thank-you to coaches, managers and former Committee Members as well as an opportunity to meet some of our new Committee Members. It would be great if you can find the time to join us – more details in due course – you can also visit our evolving calendar of key dates on our website.

Course dates are available here.

Fair Play

Pennant Hills Football Club enjoys a reputation for fair play and fair dealings throughout the Association and our community. The fair manner with which we treat our referees is second nature to most of us. The following items have been provided to remind us all of our obligations with respect to our match officials.

Club policy is that all available team players receive equal game time.  Equality can be achieved each match, or over a longer period if a roster is kept.   

Be enthusiastic! Help players to do their best and enjoy themselves. Placate parents. Remember football is meant to be FUN.
