The Glen Eira Junior Soccer Club - 'Friendship, Fun, Family and Football' The Glen Eira Junior Soccer club was formed in December 2002 as a community based club with no ethnic base. It is not an elite club and every player is given the opportunity to participate regardless of their ability. The Constitution was formulated and passed by all members in the first season and clearly states that the Club does not grade its players/teams. The focus of the Club is on participation for all, enjoyment of soccer as a sport and, although winning is great, success is not measured by where a team finishes but on sportsmanship, a sense of fair play and the respect of others and these attributes are to be encouraged and nurtured. The Committee of Management the takes pride in presenting the Season 2007 in review which has been dominated by the drought. Our fifth season has been a very challenging one and the Committee has continued to work hard on the Club’s behalf facing many challenges to ensure that we have been able to have access to playing grounds. At the beginning of the season there was a real doubt that a season would take place due to the drought and through careful management we have ensured that a full season of soccer has been achieved for all players. Training at Duncan Mackinnon Reserve has also been less than ideal with our allocation being only Monday and Tuesday – certainly not ideal days – and Wednesday at Caulfield Park on a pitch with no lights and not within easy travel distance for many parents. Ever resourceful, the Club built extra portable lights which provided access to the previous dark areas of Duncan Mackinnon Reserve to enable more teams to train. However, especially for the older team the lack of training facilities no doubt had an effect on their season. Our numbers have further continued their steady increase to close to 500 players which resulted in 31 teams including 7 all girls teams and our two wheelchair teams competing in either the Football Federation of Victoria, the Victorian Churches Soccer Association or the Bayside United Junior Soccer Competition plus our Goal Kick Program. A number of our coaches have attained their Junior Level Accreditation and we congratulate them all as they join an ever increasing number of qualified coaches of the Club. A contingent of Glen Eira girls attended the all girls Total Tournament in Ballarat again this year and great fun was had by all who attended the weekend of soccer. On a very sad note, one of the Club’s founding members and Secretary Grahame Horsfield passed away in late 2006. Grahame put in many long hours to set up the Club on a sound basis and his contribution certainly has been invaluable. The Committee would like to take this opportunity to recognise and express our appreciation to the following who have contributed in their own way to the success of the Club:
