After an inspection of the playing fields at Bill Anderson Reserve and irrespective of Council’s decision later today, the Club Committee has decided the fields are still unplayable and therefore remain closed to all activities.
The following matches scheduled for tonight have been postponed to a date to be advised:
· U14 – Kemps Creek United Orange v Kemps Creek United Black
· U18 – Kemps Creek United v Freeman Sports
· Premier League Reserves – Kemps Creek United v Moorebank Sports
· Premier League Firsts – Kemps Creek United v Moorebank Sports
We hope the fields will dry out in time for the weekend fixtures. An update will be provided on Friday.
Hello all, By now you would all have had time to read the prior message from Football NSW.
We acknowledge the efforts being put in by the Football Governing Bodies and all Government departments in the fight against COVID-19 however to win this battle we need to work together but apart by complying with social distancing.
As a club the Committee is working hard to keep you safe in our space so please abide by the rules.
Please ensure the following protocols are being met:
Social distancing of 1.5m is adhered to at all times. *Spectators are limited to one person only per player. *Do not turn up earlier than 30 minutes prior to kick-off to matches, and 15 minutes before training. *Players to attend matches and training in full uniform and ready to play. *Parents to remain in their vehicles during training nights – no congregating around the Clubhouse. *No shaking of hands, high fiving or hugging after goals are scored or during or at the conclusion of training and matches. *Leave the venue once your training and matches have concluded. *Attendance and non-attendance sheets must continue being filled in accurately before every training session. *Hand sanitizers are stationed at various points around the Fields and Clubhouse at Bill Anderson Reserve, please use them. If you have a mask, wear it.
Fines are applicable for non-compliance. Let’s not spoil it for everyone by being negligent and complacent, and most importantly, keep yourselves and others safe.
DO NOT attend any fixtures if you have any symptoms or if you are in self isolation.
We will have a vested COVID officer at the ground please abide by their instructions they are there to protect you.
It has been advised today that 3 schools in the Sydney basin have been closed due to identified cases of COVID-19.
Two of those schools are within our district,
Freeman Catholic College and
Mary Immaculate Catholic Primary School.
Football NSW have today contacted NSW Health regarding players who attend these schools and have been advised as follows:
NSW Health has completed contact tracing at these schools and has identified students who are “close contacts”;
Students identified by NSW Health as “close contacts” have been advised by NSW Health to self-isolate and get tested;
Students and families at Mary Immaculate Primary School in Stage 3 who are currently self-isolating have been advised to continue isolating up to and including 7 August 2020;
All other students are required to monitor for symptoms and self-isolate and get tested if they become symptomatic.
Therefore:
# Any players who attend the above two schools who have been identified as “close contacts” and are self-isolating are not permitted to participate in football until they are no longer required by NSW Health to self-isolate;
# The teams that players who attend the above schools usually play in can continue to participate in football as usual, minus any players who are self-isolating;
#All players who attend the above schools can continue to participate in football as usual, except those who are required to self-isolate;
# Players who are siblings of students in self-isolation are permitted to continue to participate in football as usual, unless advised by NSW Health to also self-isolate; and
# All players should continue to monitor for symptoms and self-isolate and get tested if they become symptomatic.
After a thorough inspection of Bill Anderson Reserve a decision has been made to close the fields and suspend training for the remainder of the week. (Friday 361/07/20)
Many factors were taken into consideration in making this decision first and foremost player safety due to the condition of the fields.
We will keep you updated about the field availability for the weekend closer to that time.
Please be advised that for health and safety reasons trainining for all teams up to U18 grades will be suspended until Wednesday 29th July at this stage.
Any changes will be advised as they are available.
We thank you all for your understanding at this time.
As a result of two schools within our Association being closed today due to positive Covid-19 tests involving students, the Club has decided to cancel all matches up to and including U18 fixtures this weekend.
We have a number of students from these schools playing at our Club and believe the safety of our members is of prime importance.
The matter is being discussed at the Association presently and may result in the entire weekend being called off. At this stage, U21 and All Age matches will go ahead.
This is a reminder to everyone that the risk of Covid-19 is growing with cases in south-west Sydney increasing, and a reported case in a fellow football Association last weekend.
Please ensure the following protocols are being met:
Social distancing of 1.5m is adhered to at all times. *Spectators are limited to one person only per player. *Do not turn up earlier than 30 minutes prior to kick-off to matches, and 15 minutes before training. *Players to attend matches and training in full uniform and ready to play. *Parents to remain in their vehicles during training nights – no congregating around the Clubhouse. *No shaking of hands, high fiving or hugging after goals are scored or during or at the conclusion of training and matches. *Leave the venue once your training and matches have concluded. *Attendance and non-attendance sheets must continue being filled in accurately before every training session. *Hand sanitizers are stationed at various points around the Fields and Clubhouse at Bill Anderson Reserve, please use them.

As it stands, the SDSFA intends to continue with the 2020 season as planned. We all know the situation is dynamic, so we will keep you updated. We recognise that the prevalence of COVID-19 in our region is forcing many back into self-isolation and this may impact the ability of clubs to run/host matches. Any clubs that may experience such issues are encouraged to contact the SDSFA as early as possible so alternative arrangements can be made (if possible).
Spectators should be restricted to essential people only and advise where possible, that only one parent/guardian should accompany each junior player and promote that senior players should compete with minimal spectators, as per the latest Covid – 19 Safety Plan.
As you would be aware from media and Department of Health reports, the Liverpool and Campbelltown areas are now on high Covid-19 alert. As a result, there will be a need to again tighten some restrictions relating to community football commencing immediately. Please ensure to adhere to the following instructions:
Players and Coaching Staff:
It is required that all players attend matches and training in full uniform and ready for play.
It is recommended players do not turn up to matches more than 30 minutes before kick-off, and not more than 15 minutes before the commencement of training.
Players are to leave matches and training immediately after their sessions are completed.
Attendance and non-attendance sheets must continue being filled in accurately before every training session.
No shaking of hands post matches.
Spectators:
Spectators must adhere to a 1.5m distancing rule at all times.
Spectators should be restricted to immediate family members of players only.
Parents are not to congregate around the Clubhouse during training and should remain in their vehicles.
As an identified hotspot, we are potentially the subject of inspections to ensure rules and regulations are being met. Fines may apply to anyone seen not adhering to these requirements.
The Club will have an active Covid-19 Officer on duty for its home matches to assist with the implementation of these regulations. Please obey all signage set up around the grounds and Clubhouse.
