Football was the winner at North West Sydney’s Female “Come and Try Football” days!

Yesterday, North West Sydney Football, in conjunction with its fantastic 14 Legacy Clubs and NWS Spirit FC coaching staff, held four successful “Come-and-Try” football days at four separate locations throughout the region.
 
This free initiative allowed women and girls to try football in a safe and supportive environment and provided all participants with information on clubs in their local area. It also provided opportunities for potential participants to learn about all types of football offered by NWSF, including Mixed, Female Only, All Abilities, Masters (Over 50) and Walking Football.
 
A massive thank you to all the volunteers that helped run the days and the NSW Office of Sport for grant funding to support the initiative.

At last night’s North West Sydney Football Ltd Annual General Meeting, Peter Nimmo’s exceptional, loyal, and outstanding contribution to the beautiful game of Football was recognised with a Life Membership.
 
Congratulations on your outstanding service to the game Peter.
 
Below is a list of Peter’s significant contributions to our football family.
 
As a Volunteer:
  • Peter joined Beecroft Wombats FC as Mini’s Coordinator in 2007, then served as President/Convenor for approx. Ten years.
  • He has volunteered for approx. Fifteen years on the Beecroft FC committee and remains an active member after handing over the President’s role.
  • Peter was a Board member of GHFA and then NWSF for four years. This includes his significant input during the time of the merger of GHFA with NWSWF to form NWSF. His fundamental role in establishing the NWSF Fair Play award recognises that football’s social benefits to all the community involved are far more important than any particular team winning or losing.
  • Most recently, he has been serving for two years as a GPT Co-Chair.
As a Referee:
  • Having refereed earlier in life under Bankstown District, Peter has been refereeing for three years as a current NWSF Referee.

Peter’s Achievements In his ten years as President / Convenor of BFC he has achieved the following:
  • The number of players increased from around 400 to over 650 in that time, including the achievement of approx. a quarter of Beecroft FC players are female, and this percentage is constantly growing.
  • Financial reserves have increased several times over.
  • Managed BFC through separation from Beecroft Sports Club into a stand-alone entity, enabling it to be master of its own destiny.
  • And managed during a period of significant disruption and being based in demountable buildings as NW Rail demolished and re-built the facilities at Cheltenham Oval, necessitating constant negotiations with Council and NW Rail during this time.
  • Beecroft FC won GHFA / NWSF Fair Play award twice during his Presidency. We thank you for considering Peter for life membership as a recognised for his contributions which have provided a measurable benefit to the Club, Association and whole community over an extended period.

Position Vacant – CEO

NWSF is responsible for the management and promotion of football in the north-west suburbs of Sydney area. Formed from the merger of Gladesville Hornsby Football Association and North West Sydney Women’s Football Association in 2019, NWSF has over 16,500 players from 34 member Clubs, making it one of the largest community sporting associations in NSW. Providing all people the chance to play football, NWSF caters across gender diversity and skill levels from Under 6s through to Over 45s and manages the elite representative clubs NSW Spirit FC.

The CEO is responsible for implementing NWSF’s vision and strategy; shaping its culture through the application of strategic leadership, change management and relationship building. This includes managing all aspects of NWSF’s day to day operations; including financial management, gaining the cooperation of key stakeholders to ensure the effective generation of income streams via membership, sponsorship and other related services; negotiating and implementing strategies, plans and services; leading the staff; and managing an operating budget currently around $3 million.

Working closely with the Board, the existing staff, and a highly committed volunteer and stakeholder group, the CEO will have the opportunity to build on and implement the strategic and operational plans for NWSF. In short, plan big and deliver details. Regular liaison with the Board is essential regarding all relevant matters including governance, risk, financial reporting and strategic issues management.

This hands-on role will be working at the community level of football operations, developing and delivering NWSF’s goals and objectives to its multiple stakeholders within an annual budget. The NWSF office has a small staff complement (8), so the CEO will be expected to assist with many of the day-to-day activities of the organisation and must be willing to literally get their hands dirty. No job is too big or too small, doing ‘whatever it takes’ to get the job done.
