Welcome to all Families and Friends of the Beverley Hills Junior Football Club
On behalf of the new committee for the 2010 season, we welcome you back to the club for what will be an exciting new era of development for our great junior footy club. We take this opportunity to sincerely thank the outgoing executive and general committee members for their hard work and dedication to help the club on our continual improvement plan. Well done in particular to Michael Gordon, Jenny Lowther, Sylvia Mascitti, Lucy Mascali, Kevin Ratcliffe, Peter Whitty and Dave Reilly for assisting us in our preparation for the following season and beyond.
My name is Anthony Phillips and I have volunteered to take on the role of President to guide the club (with our executive team and General committee members), through the next phase of its journey. My history includes a qualified teaching and coaching background with children in numerous sports, for over 25 years. In particular, football is my passion, where I have coached at all levels from Auskick to u18 level (the last 6 seasons as a BHJFC coach). I have also played extensively through junior, interleague, school, elite levels and have been a fitness coach at AFL clubs. My company Camp Australia, is also a proud sponsor of the club and has been over the last six seasons.
We are privileged to have a terrific Executive team made up of Vice President / Football Operations - Joe Mezgec , Vice President / Promotions, Recruitment - Tony DeLuca, Treasurer - Jim Pahos (CPA), Secretary - Julie Martyn. Each of these club leaders have a structured group of committee members and parents in their teams, to perform priority duties throughout the year. The new committee has set governance protocols for all levels at the club including the executive, general committee, coaches, team managers, parents and players. We have also devised a strategic plan to direct and measure achievement against our goals moving forward. The club is in good financial position and we have a great platform to add some exciting new resources for the children at the club over the next phase.
Some of our key projects and initiatives underway for 2010 include:
· A new set of guernseys for all players
· Training tops added for the Tackers
· A new updated merchandice line of club gear
· New footballs for matches and training
· A personal footy to all our Tackers, u10s

We as a team are committed to continuing the solid foundations of management set at the club and hope to make our own special impact and contribution for the years ahead.
We welcome feedback at all times and would like any concerns brought to the committee as soon as possible, for an amicable resolution to be made, for the good of the children and volunteers of the club.
Have a Great Christmas, pre season and we look forward to a super 2010 at Beverley Hills JFC.
