Gala Days & Competitions Print
WPHCFC encourages its teams to compete in local and out of area Gala days run throughout the season across Metropolitan Sydney as well as the Central Coast, The Illawarra, and The Mountains. These competitions are usually run on a Sunday.

 

Competitions are also available inter-state and overseas. Competing in such events can have many advantages. You get to measure your skills against teams from different regions, it can help teams bonds together, and the players get to experience knock-out competitions. It also ensures that WPHC gets known among the wider football community.

 

With effect from 2009 the following is applicable:-

 

  • All teams within the club are able to enter a Gala day competition run externally to the local GHFA competition.
  • A number of the Gala days try to attract the top teams from each association, so please be careful when nominating for a Gala Day. A member of the executive will be able to provide advice
  • Invitations to compete in specific gala days and competitions by specific teams are actually considered as invitations to the Club, if the club is to consider any form of financial or in-kind support.
  • Teams entered in these competitions must be made up of WPHC registered players only (insurance and affiliations guidelines)
  • Team Managers must verify their entries with the Club (via the Age Co-ordinators) before entering. This is required as we need to notify the association and Football NSW and gain acceptance prior to entering. A Football NSW Sanction form is to be completed. (attach link to form here). Only verified teams are able to use the clubs name and wear the clubs gear in such competitions.
  • Entry Fees, Transport, accommodation and other expenses are the responsibility of the competing team.
  • All teams competing in out of area gala days/competitions are ask to provide a report on their participation, along with photographs if available
  • Teams can attract sponsors (so long as they do not conflict with existing club sponsors) and undertake the necessary fundraising for their trips. Potential sponsors information needs to be supplied to the club Marketing Manager. These ssponsors will not be added to shirts or club owned gear. Additional gear can be purchased by the team if required, this can be organized through the Gear Manager.
