2016 saw the introduction of our first formal Junior Football/Netball Club Committee which oversees the operation of the Junior Club as a sub-committee of the LWFNC Senior Club. The Committee is made up of members who have involvement in both boys and girls youth football and netball. We encourage families and players to get to know our Committee members as they are a great point of contact should you have any questions, suggestions or concerns at any time at Lakers. Our Committee meets every month and has representation on the Senior Committee. Above are the photos and key phone numbers of our Committee members along with their role on the Committee.
Mentor system
It is our priority for the Junior Club Committee to ensure that first and foremost our boys and girls are happy and enjoying their time playing for our club. Our club values are DEVELOPMENT, FUN, FAMILY and PROFESSIONALISM and our aim is for these values to be applied in everything we do. We are here to make the club run as smoothly as possible and to do this, we need to know if there are any problems, concerns or feedback from players and parents. The only way we can fix a problem is if we are made aware of it. We also welcome POSITIVE feedback as well !!
With this in mind, every age group has an Age Group Mentor appointed who is the FIRST contact point for any parents or players with any concerns, queries, suggestions, positive feedback or otherwise. We DON’T want parents approaching, phoning, texting coaches or Team Managers – they already give up enough of their time voluntarily and the Mentor System works perfectly as a step between parents/players and coaches.
For any concerns, questions, feedback, suggestions or anything else, parents or players should speak with the Age Group Mentor – listed below. The mentor will provide the appropriate action: whether this be speaking with the coach or speaking with the coordinator and the committee will be made aware of any problems. Please be assured that the role of the mentor is to ensure that all concerns/feedback/suggestions WILL be passed on, actioned appropriately and the outcome provided back to you.
We appreciate the sensitivity of some circumstances and your discussions with the mentor can remain confidential should you prefer.
