Riverlife Baptist Football Club (RBFC)

RBFC — Registration Information

Registration Details:

To compete, players need to agree to & complete the online registration form as well as pay the required registration fees. We only field teams if we have sufficient player interest and coach availability.

Abil­ity require­ments:

Teams are determined on ability. The coaches make assessments and players are assigned to an appropriate team. We try to keep friends together but for the integrity of the competition and consistency, sometimes is requires balancing out.

Com­mit­ment Expec­ted:

We expect play­ers to play for the whole sea­son and also expect reg­u­lar attend­ance at Monday or Tuesday night train­ing. The night a team will train will be finalised late February.

Train­ing inform­a­tion:

We believe that in order to be our best, we need to make every effort to train. Per­sonal cir­cum­stances may not always make this pos­sible. When these cir­cum­stances arise, we expect play­ers to talk with their coach.

For each team there is one mid-week train­ing ses­sion between 7:15 – 9:15 pm at King­fisher Park, Gem Rd, Kenmore on an evening to be determined by mid-February. If a player cannot make one night, then they could join another team for fitness and individual skill development.

In the event of per­sist­ent rain, train­ing is usu­ally called off. Coaches will advise teams of this through SMS by 6:30 pm.

Play­ing inform­a­tion:

Our home ground is at Kingfisher Park, Gem Rd, Kenmore.

We play in the QCSA West Zone, against teams in South-East Qld. The greatest distance travelled is to Fernvale or Beaudesert.

Play­ers are expec­ted to arrive at the ground at least 30 minutes before play unless some other arrange­ment is made with the coach. Teams share the respons­ib­il­ity of set­ting up or pulling down nets and posts.

In the event of wet weather, lead­ing to unsafe play or poten­tial dam­age to fields, play­ers will be mes­saged if a game is to be post­poned. On some occa­sions we will know on a Fri­day even­ing, but it is usu­ally on a Sat­urday morning.

Club Strip:

All teams play with dark blue (navy) shorts and blue socks. A very limited supply of socks and shorts are available from the club for purchase – it is preferable if players purchase their requirements through their local sports store. Jerseys are provided at the ground on match day.

Player Duties:

Fol­low­ing regis­tra­tion, play­ers need to keep in reg­u­lar com­mu­nic­a­tion with their coach and fel­low play­ers. The best way is to attend every train­ing ses­sion and matches.

Each team mem­ber through­out the sea­son will be asked to help with some team duties e.g. wash­ing drink bottles, clean­ing jer­seys, and assist­ing keep­ing our home ground in good order.

Rep­res­ent­at­ive Oppor­tun­it­ies:

The QCSA have processes to select a representative men’s and women’s team to compete at State Titles against other Christian representative teams from other associations.

The State titles are usu­ally held mid‐season. Fol­low­ing State Titles a state team is selec­ted to play at National titles usu­ally held early Octo­ber. At pre­season com­pet­i­tions you have the oppor­tun­ity to identify if you are inter­ested in being considered.

National com­pet­i­tions exist for Men, Women, Junior Men (U18) and Junior Women (U16).
