Due to the poor condition of Nott Oval, the club has decided to reduce the usage of the field for training where possible to try and preserve the ground for the remainder of the season. As of today the following has been implemented:-

- Nott Oval is closed for all training on Mondays & Fridays.

- Only teams from U/6 to U10’s that have been training at Nott Oval since the start of the season, can continue to train there on a Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday nights, plus the M-League squad.

- There is to be no training in any area of the 18 yard box by any teams. Please use the side of the fields where possible.

- All other teams are to move their training to Liquidamber Reserve starting this week.

- All senior teams that were training at Nott Oval on Tues/Wed/Thus are requested to change their training start times to 7:30pm where possible, once moved to Liquidamber. (This includes AA2, AA4, AA13’s, AAL5 & 35/1’s)

- Please ensure that you are courteous to other teams that have been training at Liquidamber most of the year and do not take their training areas.

- Please note that Monday & Friday nights are very quiet at Liquidamber, so if it is an option to change your training night to one of those then please do so.

- All teams that have been training at Liquidamber since the start of this season, please ensure you only use required field space and allow other teams to train near yours.

- There is to be no training in the goal mouths (6 yard boxes) at Liquidamber as well by any teams.

The committee thanks you for your cooperation.

The club has also received the following feedback about the night:-

Re: FA Cup on Saturday 4th May – Just a quick message to say that on Saturday my son Ethan who plays for Rangers under 12/3 Red participated in the FA cup on Saturday & played as Chelsea who came runners up, He was unsure if to play or not as he was worried about the older players being too rough or they just wouldn’t want them playing with them, We (Both my wife & I) were really impressed by the older boys attitude towards the younger team mates by including them in the team, they gave them a shot of the ball & at times took it easy on them, this gave Ethan a big boost of self esteem although he enjoys playing with his other team mates.

You generally hear about young teenagers causing trouble & having disrespect for others, This showed Ethan & his younger sister Abigail that playing sport is good for him both socially & physically.

I know you can’t please everybody all the time but we enjoyed the night, This is the reason for the email, we just wanted to tell you that Narellan Rangers have some really good kids in the club.

Refer below roster for the next rounds, your team will be required to provide 4 adults, 2 for the BBQ and 2 for the canteen to assist the committee. Please note no kids are to be behind the BBQ or in the canteen while the parents are helping out. Your assistance is appreciated.
