Have learnt tonight that my club may have to cancel their Gala Day.
Apparentntly FootballNSW has refused to give permission as the rules for our Gala Day as well as those for other clubs because we have prizes for winners and losers.
l can only wonder where our great sport is going. No one wants to see 8 year olds under pressure to perform but they do want a challenge. To be politically correct (????) do we now cancel school athletics days, school, swimming carnivals etc? FootballNSW, you may not have the intestinal fortitude to stand up to the FFA about small sided games which will see kids up to age of 12 not playing soccer, but why all of a sudden can clubs not run Gala Days. Most rely on same to raise necessary funds to keep going and pay your and FFA unreasonable registration fees.
Hopefully the CCF will have the guts to stand up to you over this matter.
