NAVIGATING THE WEATHER IMPACTS ON COMMUNITY FOOTBALL
NAVIGATING THE WEATHER IMPACTS ON COMMUNITY FOOTBALL
27 May , 2022 By Football NSW
The inclement weather over recent months continues to significantly impact the 2022 winter football season.
Following two COVID-19 interrupted years, Football NSW acknowledges that the ongoing match rescheduling and cancellations have further frustrated football participants across the state.
Persistent rain has left local Councils across NSW with no option but to close football fields in the interests of player safety, and in protection of the grass surfaces.
Whilst some regions have a number of all-weather surfaces, even in the best served areas these represent a small minority of the total fields available.
For the natural grass surfaces, where there has been work done on upgrading drainage we can see the benefits, and where there have been lighting upgrades we are able to see games played mid-week to catch up on the backlog.
As highlighted in the NSW Football Infrastructure Strategy, at the time of our last state-wide audit of the 1,582 full-sized playing fields in NSW:
292 (18%) had no floodlighting
291 (18%) had floodlighting below 50 Lux
796 (50%) had no automated irrigation
969 (61%) had no functional drainage
145 (9%) had no floodlighting, automated irrigation and drainage
Source: NSW Football Infrastructure Strategy, p20
The combination of historically bad weather and inadequate infrastructure has resulted in critically low levels of field availability.
This puts an incredible burden on Member Associations’ and competition administrators’ capacity to deliver the 2022 winter season in its entirety.
Despite these challenges, we continue to work closely with Associations and Councils, collaborating on all possible solutions to maximise the number of matches played throughout the season.
Our number one priority is to see community football returning to fields across the state on a consistent basis.
As we continue to face these obstacles, Football NSW, together with our Associations, ask for understanding across the community.
Whilst every effort is being made to deliver a full winter season, field availability and a diminishing number of available weekends will likely result in adjustments and / or a shortening of competitions.
The frustrations of players, coaches and parents are being felt across the entire Football NSW community, and we remain committed to supporting our Associations in the delivery of their 2022 winter seasons.

Social Media
I would like to reach out to BHFC members and supporters to remind everyone to use all social media platforms with respect and consideration of others.
As a club we have found social media to be an effective and engaging vehicle to communicate with member and showcase our club, highlighting and promoting BHFC amongst members and a wider audience. We look forward to the stories and photos shared, and celebrate our fellow Kooka’s triumphs and tribulations. We encourage members to use social media with integrity to ensure the well being and safety of all.
DO NOT hide behind fake accounts, and user names in order to behave irresponsibly or abusively. This is totally unacceptable. Our club and association stand together in not tolerating irresponsible, intimidating, bullying or abusive online behaviour. If you are the subject of inappropriate contact, bullying or abuse, or if you witness others subjected to the same: REPORT IT.
HFI Social Media policy is linked here for you.
BE SAFE, BE RESPECTFUL, BE RESPONSIBLE.
Thank you,
Tony Hughes
BHFC President
Shoosh for Kids
May is Shoosh for Kids Month.
Less is more. That’s particularly true when it comes to sideline and spectator behaviour. Shoosh for Kids is a timely reminder that we don’t need to make continual commentary (good or bad), on every move or play in which our children are involved.
Abuse is never ok. But sometimes ‘helpful’ suggestions continually shouted from the side line can be just as unsettling for our children. The white noise gets in the way of the children making decisions for themselves. Making decisions is how they learn. Sometimes their decisions will result in missed or squandered opportunities during a game. But that’s ok. Even as coaches and managers our team officials, in their enthusiasm, ‘over coach’. Trust the process. Your demonstrations and guidance at training are valuable. Let the children try these strategies and skills during a match without the constant off field advice getting in the way of their own thought processes.
Lets remember: Less is more. LESS white noise for the kids leads to MORE self confidence and better decision making.
Please: Shoosh for kids.
National Volunteers Week
This week is National Volunteers’ Week.
Baulko is a community based football club run entirely by volunteers. It’s exhausting, challenging, relentless work for enormous benefit to over 1,000 BHFC members. From our competitions to our celebrations, from our website to our uniforms, our canteen to our field marking, our grading to our trials, from mentoring to our committees, it’s all done by volunteers.
It’s those selfless members who see a need and pitch in and get the job done, for no other reason, than: it needs to be done. It's hours preparing training sessions, sitting through meetings, planning and implementing, reviewing and modifying. It’s rosters, draws, schedules and timetables. Grading, trials, re-scheduled games etc etc… It’s 11 months of work for a 6 month competition. For every person who has mowed our lines, measured out fields, participated in working bees, set up goals, emptied our bins…. Coached, managed, cooked, cleaned, built, planned, served, supervised, coordinated, administered, guided or inspired. It’s all of you who are the Baulko army of volunteers. We thank you and we know sometimes it’s not easy, but it is so very rewarding.
Thank you for every job you do.
WE LOVE OUR VOLUNTEERS! #GoBaulko
