Football to resume July 4th / 5th for Juniors and Adults 

We thank you for your patience during the suspension of football and understand you are eager to get back on the field. 

With the State Government announcing a return to play date of 1st July for all community sport, including adults, NWSF competitions will kick off on the weekend of 4th / 5th July. All competitions will be able to play 14 rounds with Grand Finals on 10th /11th October (subject to field availability). A competition calendar is available on the NWSF Calendar page

It is expected that Return to Play Guidelines will be issued by FNSW in the near future.

This will have the season run to the October long weekend. The proposed competition schedule is as follows:-

6 team competitions will play 3 rounds (15 games). If NWSF can access the fields on the 10th October they will play a 1 v 2 Grand Final, but this will need to be confirmed

8 team competitions will play two rounds with a first past the post Premier. If NWSF can access the fields on the weekend of 10/11 October they will play a 1 v 2 Grand Final, but this will need to be confirmed.

10 team competitions will play one round then split into 2 conferences based on ladder position (1, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 2, 3, 5, 7, 9) and play another 4 matches with first past the post Premiers based on a full season ladder. If another weekend is possible, then a 1 v 2 grand final will be played

Premier League is as per the 10 team competitions, but a 1v2 GF will be played at Christie Park on 10 Oct. 

Super League is as per 8 team competitions with a 1 v 2 GF on 10 Oct 

Note:- Washed out rounds in any competitions will NOT be rescheduled

Return to Training Guidelines have also been amended from 13 June to allow for maximum group sizes of 20 people for outdoor, non-contact training activities. Participants still need to maintain social distancing protocols and any contact with challenges and tackles is still prohibited.

 

​It's great to be back but we can't afford to get this wrong as restrictions ease and it is important that all teams that comply with current training guidelines and social distancing, any teams found in breach of guidelines will have their training allocations cancelled - we will all be on display to each other and the public so please ensure everyone does the right thing.
