SECTION 2: INCLEMENT WEATHER, CANCELLATION AND GROUNDS CLOSURE PROCEDURES AND PRINCIPLES
When inclement weather raises the prospect of games being cancelled, the following procedures should be followed and principles observed.
If the ACT SportsGrounds Office closes all grounds in the ACT, all Junior Football, including games scheduled for Queanbeyan, Yass, Goulburn or Cooma are considered cancelled. Any such closure will be broadcasted on radio, website and social media no later than 9am on Saturday morning. After that, any decision to cancel rests with the Junior League’s Grounds & Fixtures Officer or with individual clubs. A decision to cancel all AIdi MiniRoos can be made no later than 8.15am on a Saturday morning. A decision to cancel all Junior Football will be made no later than 10.45am and will be immediately broadcasted following the 11am news bulletins and on club websites if available.
A league-wide cancellation of Aldi MiniRoos as determined by ACT SportsGrounds also cancels Age 10’s & 11’s football, whether played internally within a club or in the Canberra-wide competition. However, cancellation of Aldi MiniRoos by an individual club ONLY cancels Age 10’s, 11’s IF PLAYED INTERNALLY WITHIN THAT CLUB ONLY.
Club matches may be cancelled first thing on Saturday morning (or earlier), ordinarily separate decisions can made about Aldi MiniRoos and Junior Football. Because of the need to reschedule competitive junior games, there is a reluctance to cancel Junior Football when grounds are not closed. Clubs should therefore be aware that; a decision to cancel Junior Football may be left until mid- morning on Saturday, and an early morning cancellation of Aldi MiniRoos does not preclude a later cancellation of Junior Football
Clubs may also cancel their own Aldi MiniRoos competitions or declare their grounds unfit for Junior Football. Each club should have a person delegated to make such decisions and that person should have a copy of this document. To enable the delegate to do so, they should have copies of the draw and the club delegate contact list. Club delegates need to follow the procedure below.
If cancelling Aldi MiniRoos on club grounds, a club should phone its own cancellations through to the radio stations, MAKING SURE THAT IT REFERS TO ‘MINIROOS’ ONLY (i.e. do not refer to ‘Junior Football’ or use any other phrase listeners could misconstrue as cancelling older age groups as well). If declaring its grounds unfit for Junior Football, a club should notify the opposing club as early as possible on Saturday morning. It is important to do this: because the information may aid a decision over whether to cancel ALL Junior Football and so that all parties are aware of the need to reschedule affected games
DO NOT phone the ground closure through to radio stations if it involves U10 – U18 competitions. If a radio cancellation seems desirable discuss this with the Coordinator Junior League so that the ensuing communications are coordinated. But poorly worded radio cancellations can mislead people who they are not intended for and are best avoided. Direct contact with officials of affected clubs, who can direct the information to relevant teams, is the prescribed method of communication.

If weather and ground conditions deteriorate after the deadline for broadcasting a cancellation or advising a ground closure, the match referee is the final authority for cancelling or abandoning a game. Clubs should ensure, through their Referee’s Coordinator that referees are aware that under no circumstances should a game be allowed to proceed while there is a threat of a lightning strike. Should such a threat develop DURING a game, the game is to be immediately abandoned and an incident report is submitted to Capital Football.

SECTION 3: POLICY ON JEWELLERY OR WORN ITEMS
Please remind all players prior to games and during the season that jewellery cannot be worn at any stage when taking the field of play.
As per the FIFA Laws of the Game ‘A player must not use equipment or wear anything that is dangerous to himself or another player (including any kind of jewellery)’. This includes earrings that are taped up.
Please ensure that all players are aware at the point of registration that if they get their ears pierced during the season then they may not be allowed to participate unless they are removed.
The story for the picture below was a 15-year-old boy who had his house key on a necklace. While playing football he jumped into the air to head the ball as such the key raised eye level and he attempted to head the ball. As a result of not heading the ball correctly the key penetrated his eye.

The key message of the program is:
“Respect is a collective responsibility for all, Players, Coaches, Referees and Spectators, at all levels to create a fair, safe and enjoyable environment in which the games can take place”
The goals of the 2015 RESPECT program are: There will be a ‘step change’ in junior football on what is acceptable and unacceptable behaviour from parents and spectators Capital Football will work with coaches to create an enjoyable learning environment for children’s football There will be an improvement in on-field player discipline, particularly in the area of dissent to referees There will be zero tolerance for assaults on referees Increase the number of matches with qualified referees appointed Ongoing change in culture and improved experience for all involved.
The Respect program is designed to be an ongoing long-term program.
Ideas to promote RESPECT at your club include; Play by the Rules website Designated technical areas and spectator areas Vested/ bibbed club officials or ground monitors Codes of Conduct Promoting good behaviour RESPECT presentation at coaches and managers meetings Club Champions Member Protection Information Officer.
Capital Football has formed a partnership with Play by the Rules to promote the season of RESPECT. Capital Football is also planning several events including, Silent Sidelines day and each club having a Champion to promote respect within their club.

In all other matters pertaining to ground control, the Club & Club Vested Officials must ensure that no conduct is permitted that would prove prejudicial to the interests of the Club or Capital Football.
Tips for conflict resolution:
Receive other people’s comments without interruption Speak pleasantly – be aware of the tone of your voice and the type of language you use Use non-aggressive body language and facial expressions (eg. don’t point your finger, don’t stand with your hands on your hips) Don’t become emotionally involved Be patient Stay calm no matter what the person says or does If the conflict turns physical, don’t get involved – call the police immediately Look for signs of the situation getting out of hand (eg. tension growing on the sideline) and act early before it reaches boiling point.
