2010 SIGN-ON
|
|
For the 2010 season the committee has decided to continue the upfront payment option. The committee has given a great deal of thought to the new fees structure and the impacts it may have on the family budget. Therefore we want to emphasise that the fees are a one off payment, no other club payments are required.
The fees for the 2010 have increased. The committee has had to raise the fees to keep the club financially viable. Without a solid financial base the club will be unable to provide equipment and facilities we all have come to expect from a modern sporting club.
The fees for the 2010 season are;

SPONSORHIP | |
- Sponsorship money that is raised must incorporate GST. The amount you raise will have GST deducted and therefore impact on the money your team is allocated. Businesses that sponsor a team should be able to claim the GST portion of their sponsorship back on their tax.
- Generally, businesses will only donate If they can acquire a tax benefit and they need our club to do that, the club is accountable for the money and the issuing of a tax receipt. Teams need to consider before they seek sponsorship that 10% of the finance raised for their team will go directly to the club for future junior development and equipment.
- The club has the right to determine where money can be spent. ICFC
has an obligation to administer money in a responsible manner that reflects
the values of our club and community. With this in mind, we provide
the following guidelines for how team sponsorship can be utilised.
- Training Shirts; teams can use funds to purchase training shirts for their players. The shirts can display the sponsors' logo on the front or sleeves. Ensure you have accounted for the cost of patches or printing in the cost of your shirts. To enhance you chances of a successful sponsorship, let the sponsor know that the players will not just be wearing their shirts to training but also whenever they go shopping with their family around Ipswich,
- Polo shirts for coaching staff or other club clothing; Any supporter products that the club has available can be purchased for teams. This Includes caps, jackets and shirts. Sponsors logos may be placed on items. If the club does not have jackets available, the club can be approached to organise a special order from our sponsors Struddies,
- Specialised Coaching: Sometimes opportunities become available to utilise highly accredited coaches from both inside and outside of the club. If you know of someone who you would like to come and run a session for your team, then funds can be released from your sponsorship to cover their costs. Invited coaches must have approval from ICFC and have a current Blue Card and Coaching license,
- Team Break-ups; End of year break-ups are an approved expenditure for sponsorship money. Finances can contribute towards admission to perks, hire costs, food and beverages. Alcohol and other products which are inappropriate for juniors and prohibited by law are not acceptable expenditure. Valid tax invoices and receipts will need to be provided for all expenditure that used for break-ups,
- Any sponsorship finances that are not fully expended by October 31 will be transferred from the team into junior development and equipment. It Is the responsibility of the team manager to ensure that the team requirements for sponsorship finances are utilised by this date.
ICFC encourages all teams to seek sponsorship from the various business contacts in their team. It Is our desire to see all players have the best season they can without their families being burdened with extra cost.
Sponsorship helps this to happen.
We look forward to your team's sponsorship endeavours and wish you all the best in the coming season.

DIV 2 GRAND FINAL
|
|
Ipswich City took on local rivals Western Spirit at Eric Evans Reserve in the Div 2 Grand Final on Friday night, 25th Sept 09.
City hit the lead in the 11th minute when Scott Dymock slid a lovely through ball to Grant Havilland to score. Just seven minutes later Spirit equalised which left it 1-1 at the break. Spirits goal scorer received a second yellow card in the 25th minute which left them with 10 men for the rest of the game.
Spirit played with 10 men for over an hour before they had another chance to get ahead but a goal line clearance from Chris Speranza kept the score equal at the end of regular time.
While both teams could not be separated after 120 minutes then a penalty shootout was the only other option.
Ipswich City keeper, Sam Jay made some spectacular saves making the final penalty score 4 goals to 2 making Ipswich City the 2009 Division 2 Premiers and Grand Final Winners.
Goals scorers for City were Scott Niemi, Norbert Duga, Mark Fancourt
and Scott Dymock.
Final Score: Ips City 1 (4) - Wester Spirit 1 (2)

THANK YOU - SUNCORP | |
On Friday 6th Feb 2009, our canteen suffered extensive fire damage due to a problem with a fryer. We had about 200 hundred spectators at the club when the fire broke out watching the QT Cup. Luckily no one was hurt and once the fire was out, the club executive decided to continue on with first round of the scheduled competition.
The Suncorp team got stuck in and worked side by side with club members to reorganize a make shift canteen and bar. The Suncorp team offered both physical and moral support late into the night.
The next day (Saturday) Suncorp were back bright and early to run a sausage sizzle and assist with the club sign-on day by handing out giveaways to our members. After the sign on had finished they reorganized, restocked and setup for a huge evening.
As the canteen was unusable, Dot and Mel rallied the Suncorp team to provide a full canteen service for several hundred spectators who would attend the QT Cup finals. They worked like Trojans under difficult conditions for hours, and always with a smile and a willingness to help in anyway they could.
The Suncorp sponsorship is worth more than money to us. We have, in Dot and Mel two people who have an unswerving desire to help our club. The amount of hours these two ladies put in for us is truly amazing. Our club feels very lucky to have people of the caliber of Dot and Mel to assist us.
Ipswich City Football Club would like to officially thank Dot, Mel and everyone at Suncorp for ongoing sponsorship and support of our club.

SMALL SIDED GAMES | |
In 2008, FFA in conjunction with Member Federations, Zones Associations and Clubs will be rolling out Small-Sided Games (SSG). This rollout will be staged commencing primarily with the younger age groups moving through the ages in 2009 and beyond.
SSG have been extremely well received and supported by Member Federations, Zones, Associations and Clubs. The feedback for the smaller fields and reduced playing numbers with an emphasis on player development has been very positive, Clubs and parents see the end result that by touching the ball more the children will become better players and enjoy their football experience much more. The education of this message remains the main priority and early suggestions are proving that the rollout will be very successful both in 2008 and the over the next few years to complete the implementation of SSG through ages 6 – 12.

CODE OF CONDUCT
|
|
The Ipswich City Football Club would like to encourage all coaches, players, unofficial referees, spectators and guests to abide by the clubs Code Of Conduct during games at all levels. Unfortunately too often, teammates, parents, spectators and coaches don’t realise that their negative actions, verbal or nonverbal, can have a lasting effect on players. It is therefore essential for parents, coaches, officials, and even teammates to encourage those mentioned to embrace the values of good sportsmanship. There is, of course, no better way to achieve this than by leading by example and demonstrating fairness, respect and self control at all times.
The club has had a Code of Conduct in place for many years and this is used to clarify and distinguish approved and accepted professional, ethical, and moral behaviour from that which is detrimental to the development of the sport.
The Ipswich City Football Club encourages all coaches, players, referees, spectators, parents and guests to read and comply with the code of conduct at all times.
