PRESIDENTS REPORTPrepared By Andrew Baxter, Club President

The season 2015 was an enjoyable season from many angles. It held for us some highlights as well as some challenges both on field and off field. Overall, the general feel from both players and parents alike is that the Concord Giants does provide them and their families with a positive AFL experience and our players and parents are proud to belong.

CHALLENGES

» Volunteer recruitment » Player numbers » Skill levels of coaches and the ability to teach players how to win games » Skill levels of players » Game sense and having a hunger to win » Sponsorship – both levels of contribution and our inability to attract and retain new sponsors » Wet weather wash outs and training options

HIGHLIGHTS

» There were no Giants on report in 2015 » U11’s made finals » Under 14/1’s made the Grand Final » Under 17/2’s won the Grand Final beating Newtown/Wests by 17 points » Fundraising initiatives were well received, well attended and exceeded targets » The new look newsletter with its fresh layout has had measurably larger readership than

previous years » CGFC was represented at half time games at both ANZ and SCG as well as the ANZAC Day

ceremony at Concord RSL club » CGFC has contributed 3 umpires in Patrick Hewgill, Harrison Lee and Martti Zenos.

COMMITTEE

The club is run by a dedicated committee who each put in significant effort to deliver a quality experience to all. The Committee gathered as a group in February to undertake some planning and to wrestle out a purpose statement. It was unfortunate that this was not finished off then launched to the CGFC family prior season start. The purpose statement “To provide a quality AFL experience for families of all backgrounds and to promote a lifelong love of the game” is possibly not the easiest statement to sell but it did appear on our correspondence and on our website. This statement will be challenged in the months to come and an implementation plan built around it so that 2016 can see some measurable gains in our purpose.

The committee will meet again prior the 2016 season to prepare a plan and provide some direction for the year ahead. It is time we give some thought and discussion around girls teams, the success of our existing teams and finals footy as well as the less glamorous aspects of risk assessment, compliance and financial protection.

COACHES & MANAGERS

The Coaches and Managers met throughout the season to compare and discuss their highlights and their challenges and to ensure the groups they were leading were done so in a consistent manner across the club. The coaches were also invited to attend a kicking clinic with Tim Schmidt as well as visits form the AFL Development Officers. This initiative will be built upon in 2016 with a high expectation of attendance.

SPONSORSHIP

Sponsorship was a disappointing aspect this season. The time it takes and the efforts that are required to secure significant partnerships that benefit both parties is enormous. It is hard work to obtain these partnerships and money simply does not come for free. It had become apparent in 2015 that we had not met some obligations to both Outback Steakhouse and IGA Breakfast Point. This put our sponsorship with these partners in jeopardy and it has only been the understanding, patience and kindness of the people at Outback and IGA that we were able to talk about future security. A special thanks goes to Mike Parker at Outback Head Office. Fabiana Barbosa at North Strathfield and Hanna Dawkins at Breakfast Point.

Sponsorships from amongst the club members has been good with four new sponsors coming on board for the 2015 season. One of these was IDG Architects who worked with me and pitched yet again the idea of a storage solution at Goddard Oval to Canada Bay Council. The council rejected this proposal and so we return to the drawing board.

PLAYERS

Contained within this year book is a list of boys who appeared at Development Days and Rep carnivals, won AFL achievement awards and passed significant milestones including the 4 boys who have played 100, 150, 200 and 250 games with the Concord Giants and Canada Bay Cannons. An achievement worth celebrating boys – well done!

The Canada Bay Cannons fielded 2 teams in the finals this year. The U17/2’s, playing as Drummoyne Power but with Giants/Cannons representation, won the Grand Final game at Macquarie Uni on Fathers Day. The U14/1’s were not so fortunate. They had put in a sterling effort all year led by Garry Philips and Vaughan Paul and were largely undefeated. The fairy-tale came to an abrupt end with East Sydney Bulldogs overcoming them by 32 points.

Our Giants U11’s also had a great season. Climbing their way formidably to finals week they were struck out with a disappointing loss to Newtown. The team won many hearts though and were complimented throughout the year for their effort under pressure, their sportsmanship like quality and the apparent culture that was embodied with the boys and their parents. A great story for the Giants and their leadership team of Wayne Hayes, Steve McKenzie and Lisa Del Popolo whom I commend. Thank you for your efforts over many years, the fruit of which was noticed throughout the region.

COMMUNICATIONS

This year we have concentrated on streamlining some processes and to provide more effective communication. We have improved what and how we have communicated. We have a way to go with utilising social media to a full potential and we have some way to go in providing an effective web presence. To that end, Ben Scott has worked hard to obtain official not for profit status that is recognised by a number of technology providers.

This will enable us to move from the Fox Sports host for no cost and in doing so will;

» Provide a platform for the launch of TeamApp early next season » Provide a committee portal which will eliminate the requirement to email sensitive

documents and will provide a place for registers to be held and, » Reduce our operating costs.

VOLUNTEERS

We created and filled more volunteer roles and fine-tuned a duty roster template that requires some tweaking in the off season. This will now be rolled out to Managers with the expectation that these key rolls will be met by rostering parents on. The task of finding replacements will be up to the manager or the Age Group Coordinator.

We welcomed a new Registrar, Child Protection Officer, Archivist and Milestone Manager, Sponsorship Manager and a Web guy.

We still lack in the areas of Ground Manager, some first aid/ERC, Recruitment, Branding and Marketing, Sponsorship, Auskick, and some Coaches and Managers roles.

We say good bye to some key volunteers and assistants including JP Tchopourian Canteen Manager, Steve Slaney Treasurer, Rose Charles Sponsorship and early in the season Cameron French on Recruitment. Peter Reynolds hung up his Registrars spreadsheet and Steve McKenzie announced he would finish his Auskick Coordinators role at the end of the 2015 season.

Special thanks go to these people with particular mention to Steve Slaney who continued after his son had finished and JP who fulfilled his role with no current players.

Once again worthy of note are some existing volunteers who go above and beyond consistently and willingly and provide the support and quality that has been the foundation of this clubs good name, positive culture and inherent quality. Dean Lee, this years Darren Mackie Award for Clubperson of the Year winner, Chris Gibbs, Alison and Wayne Bowhill Hayes, Emma and Paul Broadbent, Frank Clarke, Patricia Cassar, Vicky Caulfield and Melissa Quinn. Chris Gibbs and Nick Johnston have been instrumental in many ways in obtaining the 3 game passes, gaining access to Tom Wills, merchandise and fundraising items as well as securing players and coaches for meet and greets and presentation days. Such close access to this level of players and head coaches is not common in todays protected world and we are ever mindful and appreciative of the efforts that go into allowing our kids the sort of access usually reserved for VIP’s.

STRATEGIC FUTURE DIRECTION

The year ahead will see our new website launched, hopefully an updated and relevant constitution, a strategic plan that can cover off recruitment, retention and the important skill development of our coaches and players. We will also discuss the option of girls teams and will enter the new season boldly, with a sense of pride, an attitude of hard work and with an expectation and an anticipation that as we field more kids and win more games that along the way we will be providing a positive AFL experience for families of all backgrounds and promoting a lifelong love of the game.

TREASURERES REPORTPrepared By Steven Slaney, Club Treasurer

The Concord Giants have continued to maintain a health bank balance throughout the year spread over two bank accounts. This year’s budget forecasted a small profit of $250 where as we managed to achieved a profit of $ 2,914. However, once the outstanding expenses for presentation day and Cannons have been invoiced it is expected the Club will make a loss of between $3,000 and $5,000 for the 2015 season.

Total Expenditure $ 55,386.94

» Outstanding expenditure related to 2015 season include: » Canada Bay Cannon expenses » Giants presentation day expenses

INCOME ANALYSIS

The Club met 82% of our target income budget of $71,000 which placed a lot of strain on the club’s finances at times during the season. It was only through some great fund raising results that the Club has able to avoid a sizable loss for the year.

» Registration revenue was down by $ 8,792 on last year. » This was largely due to most registrations at the cheaper early bird rate.

» Canteen revenue was down by $ 4,226 on last year. » This was largely due to the loss of 3 home games due to wet weather.


10CONCORD

11

EXPENSE ANALYSIS

The Club spent 78% of our expense budget target of $70,750 which was very pleasing that we came in under budget overall.

» Admin expenses were $ 3,265 greater than last year. » This was largely due to unbudgeted Canteen expenses.

» Fundraising expenses were $ 2,213 great than last year. » This was largely due to the Cadbury fundraising purchase

» All other expense categories were within our target budgets.


12

HISTORICAL COMPARISON

With the growth over the last 3 years the Club now requires an income stream of $60,000 as an operating budget. This will place a special importance on sponsorship packages, canteen revenue and fundraising in the years ahead in maintaining the revenue stream for the Club.

Actions: » It is vital we continue to recruit motivated and competent coaches for 2015. » Coaching courses for accreditation to be completed early in the season. » We have to retain existing coaches and move them into the next age group.

HALF TIME AFL AUSKICK

In season 2014, the Auskick age groups participated Half Time Auskick at both the ANZ Stadium(1 match) and the SCG(2 matches). On 5th Sept, a team comprising of our under 8’s will again play on the SCG at half time.

The feedback on both events was very positive from coaches and parents.

SUCCESSES IN SEASON 2015

» Clear and timely communication from our managers. » Assistant coaches stepping up to help coaches. » Game day enjoyment and organisation. » The Volunteer Tent added a sense of fun and excitement to game days. » “Star of the Week” awards. » Half Time Auskick. » Kids vs. parents games at training toward the end of the season.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR IMPROVEMENT IN 2016

» Player skill development – kicking in particular. » Grooming parent helpers at training and to encourage them to be assistant coaches. » Building parents knowledge of the game.

FOOTBALL OPERATIONS

Prepared By Dean Lee, Football Manager

Our major goals for 2015 included: » All Coaching staff to be accredited to Level 1 standard » Additional Development Sessions for Coaches » Conduct Level O’s for Parent group » Sufficient gear for all teams

In terms of these goals, below is a summary of achievements.

COACHING ACCREDITATION

We lost six of the eleven coaches we had for 2014. The turnover although significant enabled our department to make a fresh start and development not only the coaches but also our club culture, a bi product of coaching collaboration.

Whilst difficult, it was pleasing that we were able to recruit personnel to fill the vacancies in a reasonably quick manner and the coaches who were recruited had a desire to teach our kids AFL skills. All coaches recruited whilst not proficient in AFL skills had a history of sport dedication and in some cases talent.

During 2014 we welcomed the following Coaches: » Natalie Milsom – U5 Coach » Wally Tullipan – U6 Coach » Frank Clarke – U7 Assistant Coach » Damian Charles – U8 Coach » Todd Daley – U8 assistant Coach » Dennis Carrol – U9 (returning Coach from 2013)

Our 2015 Coaching Register is attached.

It is pleasing to report that all Concord Giant Coaches were accredited to Level 1 standard during the year, and all obtained their working with children clearance. On behalf of the Club, we thank them for their commitment in these achievements.


18

For season 2016 and excluding unforeseen circumstances, we expect to retain all of the thirteen 2015 Coaches/assistant coaches, which will leave us in an experienced and talented starting point.Confirmed departures are Tony Malakellis and Steve McKenzie to the Cannons.

DEVELOPMENT SESSIONS FOR COACHES

A) Coach’s induction session was held prior to the commencement of pre-season training, attended by 10 coaches, the football debt and our President.Items discussed included;

» Club expectations of coaches » Expected player behaviours » Club culture » Why we coach » Why kids play sport » Parents expectations & involvement

B) AFL Development Manager assistance

AFL provided an experienced development manager who assessed our coaches on their training programs and communication. Feedback was provided to coaches.

C) Opportunity for all coaches to attend an AFL run kicking/club culture session at Mac Uni/Mahoney

Although the invitation was sent to all coaches and assistant coaches only the President, Wayne Hayes, and Football Mgr attended.

Sessions whilst were short, provided helpful insights into kicking dynamics and an emphasis on coaches setting the club culture. Coaches not only to be involved in setting the culture but delivering the culture as they are responsible for all interactions with kids.

LEVEL O’SLevel O sessions were held by the AFL during our Swans Player visit and on a separate training night. The purpose of these sessions was to teach the parents of participants basic AFL skills, encourage them to practice the skills with their children at home and for them to become actively involved in the club, whether volunteering for the BBQ or assisting at training.


18CONCORD

19

GEAR FOR TEAMS

All teams were equipped with 12 balls, whistles, bibs, arm bands and cones.If managers/coaches wanted additional items these were ordered by our Auskick Coordinator, Steve McKenzie.

2015 REVIEW:

Our major achievements for 2015: » Successful coach induction session » Recruitment of 6 new coaches/assistant coaches achieving Level 1 accreditation; » A Coaching Group that is committed, motivated, willing to learn and highly skilled in other

sports » Increased parental assistance at training and on game day » Player behaviour management improved as a result of increase in parent helpers » Auskick Development Coach feedback » U11-2 Semi Finalist

Our major concerns: » Lack of coaches with AFL background » Lack of specialist training. » Lack of space at training » Engagement of the new coaches and parents to make use of our Wet weather training

venue » Non - Competitive teams in all age groups

I feel that much of this criticism around team competitiveness is lacking in judgement and understanding of the game, AFL policy, and our Club resources.


20

Some facts are: » All of our Coaches are volunteers with time constraints; » Many of our Coaches have never played the game; » Many of our Coaches have little or no skill proficiency; » Most of our Parents/Kids do not understand the game; » Most of our Parents /Kids have no skill proficiency; » Most of our Parent/Kids do not practice away from the allocated training/match day » We have limited resource in terms of ground allocation and time; » We are only able to train once a week;

2016 FOCUS

Our opportunities to improve our Coaching outcomes in 2016 should be based on the following issues in the following order:

» Players behaviour management at training and match day; » Parent basic education on AFL and expectations; » Better grading/evening of teams and communication of this policy; » Better uptake of the Coach education sessions conducted by Auskick Development/

Specialist coaches as approved by Committee for first 10 weeks of the season. » Managing uneven match day competition (avoiding a flogging) » Training Programs

If we can manage to retain our Coaches for 2016 and are able to set the boundaries with regard to points 1 to 3 above in the first few weeks of the new season, we will ensure that the investment in specialist coaches (point 4) to help our Coaches with training drills and player management will produce some quality outcomes. These outcomes will feed into match day (point 5) and the natural development of training programs (point 6).

VOLUNTEER COORDINATORS REPORTPrepared By Alison Bowhill-Hayes, Volunteer Coordinator

25th July was Concord Giants Volunteers Round.

We used this home game to celebrate our volunteers and all that they do.

We showed our appreciation and whilst doing this other parents/families were made aware of how grateful we are, thus I hope this leads to recruiting for our next season.

As a club we feel it is important to let our non-volunteering families know all the ways we provide, not just by holding a volunteer round with a gift or social gathering, they need to hear about the benefits of volunteering which include:

» Complimentary club clothing polo shirt and cap, » Canteen vouchers at home games » Complimentary tickets to GWS Games, » Provision of development via AFL development coaches and Tim Schmidt kicking clinic » Reimbursement for any coach/umpire/first aid courses, » Filed trips to other, more experienced coaches games to ‘see how its done’ and » formal recognition at our end-of-season Club presentation and Annual “Club Person of the

Year” award/trophy selected by the Club Executive Committee. This is always a significant volunteer contribution from the entire season and even the Off-Season.

For the 2016 season we are seeking new volunteers for many roles, more than any other previous seasons. These roles are critical and will have a huge impact on how our club is run and progresses for a successful future.

This was the team of volunteers that supported the teams through training and games, some were also on the committee and for this dual contribution we are extremely grateful. The extra hours given each week or month in attending meetings or arriving early/staying late is to be highly commended.

Thank you.

COACHES

The process starts now – to accept coaches and managers Expression Of Iinterest and from there we can target and plan the gaps for the 2016 team coaching structure.

TEAM MANGERS

The team manager’s role needs continues to become a more strategic with game day plans, regular meetings and a more hands-on task driven role. It is my recommendation that for 2016 tasks are identified specifically to the team they manage and therefore the role evolves into an Age Group Coordinator rather than a Team Manager.

This will improve rosters for set-up, canteen, bbq and pack up and place more responsibility on parents giving them accountability for supporting their team and own child.

FIRST AID SUPPORT

This is the current list and identifies gaps in providing first aid support.

It is my recommendation that we have parents from each age group playing at Goddard trained as first aid.

The gaps for 2016 will be: under 5 (require 2), under 8 (require 1), under 9 (require 1), under 10 (Require 1), under 11 (require 2) based on current parents returning.

In 2016 we will be establishing a first aid roster from start of the season.
