Please see details below of the email sent to Club members regarding the 2021 season refund. Please not the closing date of 1-10-2021.

Dear Rangers,

On behalf of the Chatswood Rangers Executive Committee, I hope that this email finds you and your family well.

As you know, COVID-19 has again impacted 2021 Football and Netball and we had to abruptly end the season due to increased restrictions in Sydney. Over time, these restrictions have not eased, and our hopes of returning to the field or court in 2021 have not come to light, and the season has been cancelled by the NSFA and NSNA.

We are optimistic that sport can return in 2022 and that Rangers can play a role in bringing players, families and the community back together again.

For the 2021 season, we have been working with NSFA and NSNA to offer a partial refund of registration fees to members as a result of the early cancellation.

Details of this refund can be found below, If you have any questions, please reach out to your Club Secretary or Michelle King (admin@chatswoodrangers.com.au)

We look forward to seeing you back on the football field or netball court soon.

Warm regards,

Wes
Wesley Smith | Club Treasurer

Chatswood Rangers Sports Club

2021 Season Refunds

Registration fee refund amounts will consist of –

• a refund of playing fees from each of the associations (NSNA and NSFA)
• a percentage refund of Rangers variable expenses

Rangers has calculated its refund amounts based on analysis of variable expenses not incurred due to the shortened 2021 season.

In addition to registration fee refunds we will also be offering refunds of coaching expenses for junior football development teams. Development coaching refunds are based on the percentage of coaching sessions not completed less associated Club costs.

Refunds for both netball and football will be processed using the NSFA’s refund software, accessed via a single unique link for our Club. You will require your FFA (football) or Netball ID to access this refund.

Details of the refund amounts along with the unique link to the refund software can be found at the end of this email. Please note, the link for netball will be provided next week once it is made available to us.

The refund software also provides the option to donate your refund to the Club. If you do nothing, your refund will also be donated to the Club.

You will have until 1 October to request your refund. Refund requests will not be accepted after 1 October 2021. All refunds will be paid by 31 October.

Unfortunately, both Football and Netball seasons have been officially abandoned.

Members should have received messages from Club secretaries and also from the NSFA and NSNA, but information will be shared once we hear more from the NSFA and NSNA.

A reminder that no Rangers sanctioned activities can take place at this time, apart from online gatherings.

It may still be possible for you to train and exercise alone, with family members or in small groups but you need to check current guidelines to ensure you are not breaching the public health orders. https://www.nsw.gov.au/covid-19 

 

Below are some resources that might come in handy during this period…

Have a Zoom Session with Your Team

Consider setting up a one-time or weekly Zoom session with your team, to keep the players connected and maintain that dynamic. This might also inspire your team to stay fit, to continue football/netball skills individually but support one another virtually. It might be as simple as a check-in conversation, or perhaps add a bit of sporting trivia, a poll of players’ favourite teams and players, etc.

NSFA INSPIRE Coaching Resources (football)

https://nsfa.asn.au/coaches/inspire/

INSPIRE aims to provide coaches of all levels access to a platform that will host coaching resources, video content and discussion forums to assist coaches in their season-long journey. Our mission is to better the footballing experience of both the coach and players by providing relevant, progressive and easy to digest content.

INSPIRE members receive a weekly email during regular season, providing coaching tips, interesting reading, and connections with other clubs and avid football volunteers. This is a great resource for registered coaches as well as for parents/carers/footballers keen to learn more.

As you heard from our President Joe earlier this month, we have set up the Chatswood Rangers Community Program. Details of the program can be found here.

The Community Program supports the core objective of our Club as set in our constitution:

To contribute to the development of children and adults in the Willoughby City Council and surrounding municipalities by providing the opportunity for them to participate in sporting activities”.

We are excited about this endeavour and look forward to the positive impact it will have on our members and wider community.

Today, we are announcing two Community Program initiatives:

1. The Community Program has been set up to support current and future members who are in financial difficulty to play Rangers netball or Rangers football. Our Club believes that no one should be prevented from participating in sport due to financial reasons.
If you or someone you know requires support please reach out to admin@chatswoodrangers.com.au. We will then discuss your request and how we can best support you.

2. Save the Date – Rangers R U OK? Round – 24 & 25 July 2021
We are partnering with R U OK? to organise a Rangers R U OK? Round. The aim of the round is to support, inspire and empower our Rangers family (players, coaches, managers, referees and umpires) to meaningfully connect with those in their world, and lend support when they are struggling with life.
Watch this space for updates as the Rangers R U OK? Round plans come together.

We are looking for volunteer committee members. If you are interested in helping develop the Community Program please reach out to treasurer@chatswoodrangers.com.au.

We will continue to provide updates on the Community Program as it develops. Please contact us if you have any questions or comments.

Cheers,

Wes Smith
Treasurer and Community Program Chair
