NEWS FROM MDSFA ABOUT 2009  |
The Beginning of the Season
Round 1 of the Macarthur local competition officially kicks off on Saturday, 4th April, 2009.
This is the Saturday before Easter and the weekend before the school holidays start. Saturday, 11 th April, 2009 is the Easter weekend and NO games will be played in the Local Competition. As a result, games WILL NEED TO BE PLAYED during the middle weekend of the April holidays (18th and 19th April, 2009).
As ANZAC Day falls on a Saturday in 2009, games will be announced down the track for this date.
We appreciate that this is different to previous years but to ensure that we have some flow at the beginning of the season, these very difficult decisions needed to be made. We hope that by posting the dates now, we have given you ample time to make appropriate arrangements. As always, we continue to appreciate your support in getting kids onto the fields to play football!

MDSFA PROPOSED STRUCTURE FOR 2009 |
.Competition Structure 2009
Small sided games will commence ONLY with the Under 6 competition in 2009. More information will be forwarded to Clubs soon.
Currently there is discussion regarding an FA Cup style competition for 2009. It will be proposed that there will be eight team competitions across the board for juniors and seniors. Strategies to support canteen takings and revenue for clubs have been compiled. This style of competition also allows the heavens to pour and minimise double headers. There will be a Special Meeting of the Clubs early next year to address these proposed changes. Details to be forwarded to your Club Secretary soon!
With the growing success of the local competition's Premier League competitions, 2009 will bring (hopefully!) the inaugural year of a Premier League/Reserves competition, bringing Macarthur into line with most other Associations in NSW and a significant increase in the prize money.
The Board and Local Competition Committee are also looking into the viability of offering an Over 45s Friday night, four or five-a-side competition to be played at an independent venue. We will keep you posted – age is never a barrier in Macarthur! If you feel that you can't manage the outdoor pace, this may be your way to stay fit and to keep your love of football alive!
