• Team Shirts.  Team T-shirts in one of 10 colours are included in the registration fee.  Alternative team shirts are allowed, but must not clash with the official colours.  Orders must be received by 8th October to be ready in time to be picked up on the first night.  Final orders will be taken at the first game, and bibs should be worn until the shirts are available.   If you miss the deadline, T-shirts in the same colours (but without logos) are available here.
  

• Team Photos.  No official team photos will be taken.

• Child Protection.  All team officials (coaches, managers, team contacts etc) of any team with U18 players must complete a “Prohibited Employment Declaration” prior to the commencement of the competition, unless they already completed one for the Winter Season

• Training.  No scheduled training, but teams with byes / forfeits will be given a coaching session instead of a match
  
• Age Group Information.  Use this information to determine which age group you should enter.  Please note, age groups may be combined to provide the best possible competition in 6, 8 or 10 team divisions at the discretion of MFC.  U6, U7 and U8 divisions are non-competitive, so no competition tables will be kept - this is an FFA rule to ensure younger children's football is about fun & development rather than winning at all costs.  A "W" team for U18 teams consists of at least 3 female players, 2 of whom must be playing outfield at all times.  Both male and female players can be in the corresponding age group (ie up to 1 year older than the equivalent all male team) to be competitive with all male teams.   We do not recommend all female teams unless composed of all strong players.   We may allow 1-2 overage players to allow friends to player together, as long as this does not artificially strengthen a team, at the discretion of Mosman FC.

Field Layout

This year, GHO will have 5 fields, with Field 1 closest to the pavillion.

 

Footwear

All players must bring turf football boots or sneakers to every game.  Turf football boots are best for dry, hard conditions prevalent in Australia and will generally cope with wet weather in summer too.  No boots with metal studs permitted under any circumstances.  Boots with plastic blades may be worn if:

• Mosman Council Groundsman agrees conditions require them; and
• Playing without blades would be unsafe; or
• Both teams agree

Teams not abiding by this rule are liable to forfeit the game. Examples of different footwear types are shown below :

Grounds Rules: Please note the Harbour Trust rules that apply to Georges Heights:

"Intoxicating liquor shall not be taken onto any public reserve and consumed thereon"

"No smoking of any form on or around all Council playing fields""
