We all have a role to play in keeping our young footballers safe.
New concussion guidelines from ACC have come into effect at the start of the 2024 winter sports season.
These are designed to improve the health outcomes and wellbeing for all people who play community sport by introducing a standardised approach to managing concussion.
Please familiarise yourself with them and know where to find them for future reference.
We will store these images and links in our Team Toolkit area (under the Coach and Referee resources menu).

For all new Fun Football Coaches
What we have previously known as the Introduction to Junior Coaching has been renamed by NZF to “Fun-damentals of Junior Coaching“. This course is targeted for Fun Football Coaches (First Kicks, U7 and U8 grades). If you are coaching in other grades and have not completed this course then you will still find it valuable as a foundation before moving to higher coaching awards. Onslow Junior Football Club expects all of its Coaches to have completed this course once and are offering an opportunity to complete the practical component “in-house”.
This is an informative course facilitated by Capital Football, aiming to enable Coaches with skills to organise a safe and fun football session that players will not only enjoy, but learn from too. This practical course runs in conjunction with an online component.
Content covered:
If you have signed up to Coach this season, or just thinking about it, then you will need to complete this course.

Happening this week…
As a part of Girls and Women’s month, Capital Football are excited to be running 2x coaching courses specifically for females and being run by females!
If the timing of these doesn’t work with your calendar, don’t worry as Capital Football plan on running these again in different locations and at different times during the year.
At OJFC we want ALL of our coaches to have undertaken the Intro to Junior Coaching course before the start of the season….take this opportunity if you can. From U9 grade onwards, it is very useful to have the NZF Junior Level 1 award too.
