CHUFC is a volunteer organisation and cannot function without the support of its players and parents. Each team has certain responsibilities as part of that support.
Both Men’s and Women’s Senior teams are responsible for set up and clearing their fields for rostered games as Fred Caterson Reserve, as well as staffing the canteen, as and when required.
PARENTS AND PLAYERS CODE OF CONDUCT
All CHUFC members (players and parents) are bound by the Code of Conduct signed at registration. Copies are available on the website. Failure to observe this Code could lead to disciplinary action which, in its most extreme form, could result in dismissal from the Club.
CLUB STRIP AND EQUIPMENT
All players must purchase their own GREEN CHUFC shorts and GREEN CHUFC socks for 2024, along with other playing equipment, including boots and shin pads.
Club apparel, including hoodies, jackets, hats and beanies are also available throughout the season at the Canteen on Field 1. Any enquiries to apparel@castlehillfootball.com.au .
PLAYER INSURANCE
Payment of the player registration fee includes an insurance premium required through Football NSW. All players are covered for limited medical costs when no other insurance exists and, where the player has registered as a non-student, limited loss of wages.
Full details of the player insurance are provided on the Football NSW website www.footballnsw.com.au. Note the club only collects the insurance premium and forwards it to Football NSW. The club is not an agent or an insurance broker and earns no commission for the collection of the premium.
COMMITTEE AND OTHER ROLES
CHUFC is a volunteer organisation and cannot function without the support of its players and parents. The Committee is charged with the responsibility to run the club and always needs more volunteers to be involved and lend a hand. Committee members are ordinary people who are normally parents of players and who receive no financial reward for what they do. The Committee, and therefore the club, cannot function without volunteers to assist.
Can you provide general assistance as required from time to time?
Please contact our Club President at president@castlehillfootball.com.au if you are prepared to assist in making CHUFC an even better Club.
