Summer 7s announcement

Thirroul JFC is pleased to announce the club’s intention to run a six-week SUMMER 7s competition commencing on Monday, 8 November for Juniors and Wednesday, 10 November for Seniors.

This is subject to approval by FNSW and FSC approval, and will be conducted in accordance with the NSW Government’s Public Health Orders.

All participants and anyone attending Gibson Park for Senior Summer 7s MUST BE FULLY VACCINATED and sign in using the QR code supplied.

To comply with social distancing requirements the number of teams will be limited and the number of fields used will also be limited.  Matches that cannot be played due to weather conditions or for any other reason may not be replayed.

TEAM ONLY registrations will be accepted; there will be NO INDIVIDUAL REGISTRATIONS.

All players 16 years and older MUST PROVIDE PROOF OF FULL VACCINATION before registration is accepted.

All persons over the age of 16 attending matches as spectators MUST be fully vaccinated and provide proof when requested. The club recommends that anyone 12 years old older attending Gibson Park in any capacity SHOULD be fully vaccinated.

All players and spectators must follow all Government Health Directives and any other requirements set out by FNSW, FSC or Thirroul Junior Football Club. These include but are not limited to:

  • Covid Safe Check-In when arriving at the ground.

  • Arriving no earlier than 15 minutes before the scheduled start of a match.

  • Leaving the ground as soon as practical after matches finish.

  • Players can only play one match. No doubling up or filling in for other teams.

  • Social distancing to be observed at all times while at the ground.

  • No borrowing of bibs.

The club may at its discretion cancel the competitions should conditions arise that make it unsafe to continue. Conditions may include but are not limited to: 

  • Re-imposition of outdoor activity restrictions by the NSW Government

  • Actual or suspected transmission of the COVID-19 at the ground.

  • Actual or suspected provision of inaccurate vaccination documentation.

  • Failure or refusal to provide vaccination evidence when requested.

    •  Failure or refusal to provide vaccination evidence when requested.

    • Any form of anti-social behaviour while at the ground, including not maintaining social distancing or leaving the ground as soon as practical after matches.

As the Summer 7s will be a shortened competition, there will be:

  • A reduced registration fee of $80 for Seniors and $60 for Juniors, which covers insurance, referee payments, ground hire, lights and other costs.

  • No finals series

First preference will be given to Thirroul JFC registered players and teams who have supported the Thirroul JFC Summer 7s competition on an ongoing basis.

Once your team has been confirmed by Thirroul JFC, all players will need to register and pay to secure your spot in the draw.
