NORTHERN NSW FOOTBALL
chairman’s report I am pleased to be able to share with you the 2016 Chairman’s Report for what continues to be an exciting period for football in both Northern NSW and more widely on the National stage within Australia. Within Northern NSW, player numbers reached an all-time high as the love of our great game continued to grow, reflecting the push across Australia to participate in the World Game. Football’s continued rise was recognised late in 2016 by Australian Sports Commission Research, which cemented football as the most popular club-based participation sport for adults and children. Our games inclusiveness and accessibility for people of all ages, skill levels for both male and female continues to put it ahead of its rivals. This places us on a solid footing to continue to grow the game and work towards Football Federation Australia’s (FFA) ultimate vision to make football Australia’s largest and most popular sport by 2035. Across Northern NSW, we are well on the way to making a strong contribution to this objective. The record-breaking Lake Macquarie Regional Football Facility has continued to achieve outstanding growth, contributing to the financial stability of the organisation but importantly developing new opportunities for participation through Football Five5, providing state of the art facilities for training and player development, as well as a hub for community football training, coaching and education for our Member Zones and their stakeholders from across Northern NSW. Moving out throughout the expansive footprint of Northern NSW, our seven Member Zones have continued to embrace the strategic direction and objectives of the organisation and in doing so achieved heightened levels of professionalism in delivering the game in local areas.
On the ground, this has been achieved by the commitment and dedication of the thousands of volunteers in hundreds of clubs right across our State, with each and every one of these stakeholders having a vital hand in the efficient delivery and growth of the game. Our Premier Leagues and participating clubs are to be congratulated on their own efforts to enhance professionalism and the codes profile and they are to be applauded for their ability to proudly represent our region and hold their own on a national stage in tournaments such as the Westfield FFA Cup and PlayStation 4 National Premier Leagues. More than ever before, under the guidance of the FFA’s Whole of Football Plan and a dynamic vision for the game in 2035, all stakeholders across Northern NSW are working toward a common goal for our game. Collectively, NNSWF Board, Executive and staff, as well as Member Zones, clubs, volunteers, players, coaches, match officials, administrators, parents and guardians share in this goal and will enter 2017 with a continued drive to deliver on the expectations entrusted to us as the codes governing body within Northern NSW. The Football Family has never been stronger and I look forward to your continued presence and contribution to this family as we move into 2017 and towards 2035.

CEO’s REPORT appointed as Coach of the Young Matildas’ Asean Football Federation (AFF) Women’s Championship campaign.
2016 heralded another year of unprecedented growth, achievement and development across the sport and business. Following similar gains in 2015 off the back of a hugely successful 2015 AFC Asian Cup in Australia, the total number of registered players boomed again in 2016 by almost 7% reaching over 64,000 players in our game. Total revenue eclipsed $8m as a result of strong growth from commercial activities at the Lake Macquarie Regional Football Facility and a record year for First Touch Football Supplies. Due to this growth the organisation’s reliance on player registration fees, derived from community-based players, fell to an alltime low of approximately 34%. Edgeworth FC once again dominated the Northern NSW PlayStation®4 National Premier Leagues (NPL) and went on to represent Northern NSW Football (NNSWF) in the Grand Final of the PlayStation 4 NPL against former National Soccer League powerhouse, Sydney United 58 FC. Edgeworth FC also became the first club from Northern NSW to progress to the Round of 16 of the Westfield FFA Cup. In 2016, players and coaches from NNSWF’s Talented Player Pathway Program were represented in the Joey’s, Young Matildas, Junior Matildas and Matildas. Gary van Egmond and Chris Bowling were part of the Rio Olympics’ Matildas Squad and Craig Deans was
The Annual Report details a game and business which has enjoyed significant growth in 2016. Once again, effective governance, strong leadership, efficient management, consultative planning and better communication with our valued stakeholders have facilitated a significant increase in the number of people participating and enjoying our sport. The introduction and distribution of a monthly staff activity register detailed hundreds of strategically aligned activities implemented by NNSWF’s executive and staff in 2016. Improved financial performance and management have empowered the Board to lift the organisation’s capacity to serve the football family. I take this opportunity on behalf of NNSWF and the Member Zones to thank the thousands of volunteers at every echelon of the game who contribute tirelessly and selflessly to the growth, development and promotion of football in their local community.
The contribution of NNSWF’s seven Member Zones and Standing Committees is acknowledged and greatly appreciated.

REVIEW OF KEY STRATEGIC INITIATIVES, PROGRAMS, AND SERVICES
Peak Steering Committee (PSC)
Member Zone Forums
The PSC convened on March 13 in conjunction with the Annual General Meeting and on October 15, following the Annual Awards Night in 2016.
NNSWF’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer attended meetings of Member Zone Boards throughout 2016. The majority of forums were conducted prior to the commencement of NNSWF’s annual budget process. The forums provide Zones with an opportunity to identify needs and to propose new initiatives which NNSWF should consider in conjunction with the preparation of the ensuing operational plan and budget.
The meeting in March focused on the Winning Pillar of NNSWF’s Strategic Plan and more specifically the proposed ongoing role of Member Zones. The Strategic Plan for 2016-2019 was also formally endorsed by the PSC following several months of consultation. The amended Member Zone Charter and discussion pertaining to the Review of Officiating dominated the October meeting.
Member Zone Managers Meetings
The PSC remains one of NNSWF’s most important strategic forums and is critical to NNSWF achieving its stated strategic goals in the Leading Pillar.
The meetings provide NNSWF with an opportunity to present and discuss a myriad of operational issues which are crucial to the effective implementation of competitions and programs throughout Northern NSW.
NNSWF is appreciative of the time that the Member Zone Chairman and Managers dedicate to attending and participating in meetings of the PSC.
The Football Operations Manager chaired two formal meetings of Member Zone Managers in April and October 2016.
The meetings underpin an effective, efficient and accountable administration structure throughout NNSWF’s jurisdiction.

Club Office Bearers were also provided with an opportunity to ask questions and raise issues of concern within an open and transparent forum.
Staff Activity Summaries The launch of NNSWF’s Strategic Plan was complemented by the distribution of monthly staff activity registers to Member Zones and clubs throughout 2016. All activities undertaken by staff were aligned to strategic pillars and goals. The initiative aimed to increase awareness of NNSWF’s activities and the opportunities for clubs to leverage a myriad of programs and services which are available to stakeholders. This activity aims to clearly demonstrate that NNSWF allocates and deploys resources in accordance with the needs of our stakeholders and strategic direction

Annual NNSWF Facilities Forum
Coach HQ
Community Coach Accreditation
The NNSWF Facilities Forum aimed to provide an all-inclusive update of football facilities, with leading experts sharing their knowledge of funding opportunities including:
Over 100 videos were added to Coach HQ in 2016, in addition to the Newcastle Permanent Skill of the Week videos that have proven successful among grassroots coaches in recent years.
• The new NSW Asian Cup 2015 Legacy Fund;
Additional features added to Coach Headquarters also include the Coach Helpdesk, Football Practices, Football Challenges, Whiteboard sessions, Coaching Tips, direct links to register on MyFootballClub and the ability to print coaching Certificates.
In 2016, NNSWF conducted a total of 75 Community Certificate Courses with 1,031 coaches receiving a community coaching certificate accreditation. This was an increase of 58% from the previous year with 651 coaches receiving a community coaching certificate in 2015.
• Tips for working with council; • Facilities case studies; • Football facility lighting; • Modular amenity blocks; • Grass maintenance; • Synthetic surface updates; and • An opportunity to network with key stakeholders All Member Zones, Clubs, Local Councils, State and Federal MP’s were invited to this Forum and were encouraged to attend this event, free of charge. The 2016 NNSWF Facilities Forum was held in November 2016 with 8 leading experts sharing their knowledge on key elements of facility upgrades and funding opportunities. The forum provided all attendees access to the tools to link in with other stakeholders, such as local councils, State or Federal members, to improve the quality of their club’s football facilities.
Coach HQ continues to play a significant role in supporting and developing coaches to provide a positive football experience for their players, as well as supporting coaches in their role to make coaching more enjoyable. Community Club Coach Co-ordinators Network 24 clubs participated in our first Community Club Coach Co-ordinator Network with three Community Club Coach Co-ordinator Workshops held throughout the 2016 winter football season. These workshops allowed Community Club Coach Co-ordinators to share ideas and receive resources and training that will benefit the coaching experience within their club.
A shared goal for all Member Clubs and Zones is that there should be a requirement for coaches to attend an appropriate community certificate course to ensure that they are appropriately qualified coaches providing the best possible football experience for young players. Community Volunteer Training and Education NNSWF is committed to providing registered club volunteers with ongoing education and professional development to assist them in their roles and in turn provide the best football experience to their members. NNSWF has provided training and development in such fields as: • Working with Children legislation; • Member Protection; • Club Duty Officer accreditation; • Grant writing; and • First Aid These training programs have led to increased standards of club volunteers, creating well-run clubs and providing a positive experience for all stakeholders.

Again Zones collectively supported this program in conjunction with the efforts of Community Football staff member Ross Hicks who worked closely with Alyshia Razmovski in the selection, communication and promotion of the program and its winners, which resulted in positive media coverage in regional areas particularly. One vital area of the game that was overlooked in this awards program was the referees and match officials. Referees and match officials are vital to the game with NNSWF having over 880 registered across the region. It has been proposed that an additional awards category will be added for 2017 that will address this area.

NSW Asian Cup 2015 Legacy Fund
Referee Recognition Week
The NSW Asian Cup 2015 Legacy Fund, is an initiative of the NSW Government, Football NSW (FNSW) and NNSWF. The fund has been established with the NSW Government’s surplus from the 2015 AFC Asian Cup to provide funding assistance to community football clubs to partner with local stakeholders to improve the quality, availability and standard of their facilities.
Referees recognition week was an initiative conducted in 2016 by NNSWF across all clubs and zones to publicly recognise, show our appreciation and say thank you to all of our referees and match officials.
The Fund aims to improve football facilities for a variety of benefits including increasing participation, improving safety and security, assisting in building stronger communities through football and improving the overall football experience for all stakeholders. The first round of the fund opened on the 5th September 2016 and will close on the 24th February 2017. Funding assistance of $1M is available through the fund within Northern NSW. Many clubs have engaged with NNSWF to discuss and have applied for the funding in partnership with their local council.
The Thanks Ref initiative was held on the weekend of June 24-26 2016. Each Match official was supplied with a certificate of appreciation from the players or coaches with a handshake & a big thank you. This initiative is aimed at reducing the churn rate of Match Officials and building respect for a positive experience in football by all participants. Examples of activities conducted at community clubs throughout Referee Recognition Week include: • Certificate presentations prior to or following matches; • Provision of lunch for appointed match officials; • Public thank you announcements using the club’s P.A system; and • Encouraging players to personally thank the match officials at the completion of their games.
Sporting schools and AIA Vitality MiniRoos Football programs aim to provide an introduction to football and promote football opportunities to participants, create links to football clubs through local coaches and increase overall football participation by converting school participants into registered players. 34 schools

Talented Officials Program (TOP Camps) The Talented Match Official Development Camp was held in conjunction with the 2016 Telstra State Championships for Boys in June and Girls in September in Coffs Harbour. Participants were recognised by their respective referee branches as talented Match Officials with potential. The camp provided an opportunity for Match Officials to work in an intensive coaching environment attached to highquality tournament football. Sixteen male and fifteen female Match Officials attended the camps where they received comprehensive reports and gained valuable experience in a highperformance environment. This program leads to increasing the overall competence of Match Officials and provides a step in the Talented Match Official Pathway and thus reducing the churn rate of referees.

Annual Coaches Conferences
The C Licence held at the Lake Macquarie Regional Football Facility on October 9, 15, 22, 29, 30, and November 5, 6, 12, 13, 19, 20; were well attended. Ryan Campbell and Leon Davis assisted with the delivery of the course, as part of the training process, which will see them become accredited C Licence presenters. There is a definite need for more coach educators and this will facilitate the delivery of more courses in the future. There is still a backlog of coaches who have yet to submit their assessment sessions from previous courses and we are actively pursuing these coaches to offer assistance as appropriate.
The NNSW Coaching Conference was held over two days, December 16 and 17 2016. The course incorporated the Hyundai A-League game between the Newcastle Jets and Adelaide United, with coaches listening to very informative talks from Jets Head Coach Mark Jones prior to the game and Assistant Coach Clayton Zane after the game. This event was attended by 82 coaches and was delivered by a combination of NNSWF staff and FFA staff.
FFA Coaching Workshops provide continual development and support for coaches after attending a coaching course
ANNUAL REPORT 2016
FFA Coaching Workshops FFA Coaching Workshops provide continual development and support for coaches who have completed a coaching course. These workshops provide advanced coaches with points that go towards their advanced coaching license revalidation. Typically these workshops are targeted at advanced coaches, however, in 2016 these workshops also worked well for community coaches who were looking for further development. There is a need for more workshop content as coaches who have previously attended a workshop have little motivation to attend the same workshop again (but are in need of the points for revalidation).
Newcastle Permanent Master Classes Attendance at these Master Classes was varied and in order to maximise effectiveness, a concerted effort needs to be made in terms of targeting coaches and publicising the events to ensure as many local coaches as possible can attend. The sessions were well received by those coaches who did attend.

Emerging Jets Boys All of the boy’s teams finished in the top four of their respective leagues, despite playing in older age groups. This obviously provides the players with a physical challenge, however, technically some teams have definite room for improvement. Two of the teams won their Grand Finals, however, teams for these games are selected on the basis of what is best for the players as opposed to trying to ensure teams are as strong as possible in an attempt to win one-off games. Girls 2016 overall was a difficult year, in relation to results in most competitions, but a positive year in regards to being able to give younger players the opportunity to play in higher grades. The U13 girls became the first team to make the finals since entering the competition and they won their first sudden death match but were unfortunately beaten in the Grand Final qualifying match. The three other teams played in age groups above themselves, which at times is difficult, especially when players are out injured.

Homestay Program NNSWF has developed and introduced a Homestay Program to assist regional players (boys and girls) who have been identified as potentially talented future players. The Homestay Program is based in Newcastle and it provides the opportunity for regional players to stay with a Host Family and participate in the Emerging Jets program on a full-time annual basis. Three players from Football Far North Coast have already been identified and two of these will be relocating to Newcastle to stay with a Host family during the 2017 season, with the third living with a relative.

Licensed Skill Acquisition Programs Licensed SAP’s are a vital component of NNSWF’s Talented Player Pathway for boys and girls between the ages of 10 and 12. NNSWF’s appreciation is extended to the seven Member Zones who conducted SAP’s throughout the three year license period which concluded in 2016. The SAP’s provide identified players with the opportunity to train and play regularly with their peers and to constantly benchmark their technical development. NNSWF’s Technical Director and Female SAP Coach regularly visit Zone programs to assess program implementation and deliver professional development workshops for SAP Coaches. In the Metropolitan area the overall level of games was quite good, however, there was a distinct difference in the levels of ability from zone to zone. This becomes a concern when games become one sided. The Country SAP’s have a wider range of ability, however, there are talented players in all zones. Gala Days were successful and Country zones appreciated the opportunity to play against the metro teams, this provides them with variety and an opportunity to benchmark their players.

strategic pillar winning OVERVIEW OF NNSWF’S PARTICIPATION IN NATIONAL COMPETITIONS AND EVENTS
Westfield W-League Season 2016.17 was Northern NSW Football’s 8th and final season managing and largely funding the Newcastle Jets participation in the Westfield W-League. The Newcastle Jets will assume full responsibility for the team from next season. Season 2016.17 has again been an improvement both on and off the field. Being able to retain most of our 2015.2016 W-League Squad and to increase the amount of Visa Players from two to four, gave us a positive start to the season providing the opportunity to field a more competitive team across the park. The loss of both Chloe Logarzo and Caprice Dydasco to long term injuries before the season started was offset considerably by the performances of many players who have stepped up another grade since last year, they provided a new found strength and gained strong camaraderie within the team.
Most match day squads contained between six and nine local players
Whilst all of the Visa players showed their expertise and experience throughout the season, special mention should also go to many of the local girls who have performed admirably and matched it with some of the best players in the league. The continued use of an excellent training facility at Speers Point has again allowed the team the best preparation for matches proving a top quality training surface throughout the season.
An increased budget allowed for the Assistant Coach to travel to all away games this year was another positive factor in the improvement of the team from last season. The ability to travel early enough to away games and to stay in top quality accommodation was certainly appreciated by all the staff and players and contributed greatly to positive results away from home. Most match day squads contained between six and nine local players, many of whom have come through the Emerging Jets Program, which was another very pleasing aspect and a good sign that the Emerging Jets program is developing some very good players for not only now but also the future. Achieving a top four finish and playing in the finals was our goal again this season and it was most disappointing to once again fall at the last hurdle when we were beaten into fourth place by Melbourne City in our last game of the season. From myself (Craig Deans), the coaching staff and all the players, I would like to thank NNSWF for their continuing support of the W-League team, it really is greatly appreciated.

FFA National Training Centre Challenge The format for the FFA National Training Centre Challenge was different between the Boys and Girls. The girls had a structured competition with every team playing every other team. In the girl’s competition, the NNSW team performed exceptionally well and 6 players were identified by FFA staff.

In the boy’s event, players played in their State team for the first 3 days and then in teams selected on biological maturity on the final two days. Given that 25% of the NNSW squad was a year young it was no surprise that several of the players performed very well in the final two days. FFA did not identify players at this event.
FFA National Youth Championships NNSW was represented by four teams in the FFA National Youth Championships for Boys event (two Metro and two Country) Oct 3 to 7 and two Metro teams in the Westfield National Youth Championships for Girls competition July 4 to 8 Annalee Grove was chosen as best Goal Keeper at the U15 level and Josie Morley received Player of the Tournament at the U13 level, in addition, 15 NNSW girls were identified as having the potential to be possible future National team representatives. In the boy’s competition, FFA did not identify players and the Metro teams undoubtedly struggled from a physical point of view. Although there is a lack of depth in terms of quality in the Country teams, six players from NNSW Country teams have joined the Emerging Jets for 2017.

NNSWF Premier Competitions, Championships and Tournaments NNSWF PS4 National Premier League The 2016 PlayStation 4 National Premier Leagues (NPL) again showcased the football talent from 13’s through to First Grade. The inclusion of several ex Hyundai A-league Players such as McBreen, Heffernan, Bertos and Virgili, lifted the profile of the PlayStation 4 NPL NNSW competition. Edgeworth Eagles FC again ruled in 1st grade taking out both the Premiership and the Grand Final defeating Broadmeadow Magic FC in the decider. Hamilton Olympic FC and Maitland FC both had a strong season before being eliminated in the semi-finals. NNSWF undertook a comprehensive review of our Premier Competitions (male) during the course of the season. This all-encompassing review resulted in ten clubs being granted a 3-year licence for the 2017-2019 seasons. This review saw the existing nine NPL clubs along with Lake Macquarie City FC being granted these licenses. PS4 National Premier Leagues Final Series NNSWF Premiers, Edgeworth FC, represented NNSWF with distinction in the 2016 PlayStation 4 NPL Final Series making the Grand Final of the Final Series against Sydney United 58. Unfortunately the result didn’t go their way in the Grand Final but the club can be immensely proud of their achievements across the 3 weeks of this series playing every fixture away from home defeating Bentleigh Greens in the quarter-final in Melbourne before making the long trek across the Nullabour to defeat Perth Soccer Club on their home turf in the semi-final.

Herald Women’s Premier League For the first time in the competition’s history, the same seven clubs competed for the second consecutive season. In what was the most even First Grade competition in many years, Adamstown Rosebud JFC took out the Premiership honours however they were knocked out in the semi-finals along with the strong Merewether team, leaving newcomers Warners Bay FC and Wallsend FC to compete in the Grand Final. In a very physical and willing contest, Warners Bay FC came out on top one nil to secure the victory and the Grand Final winner’s mantle.
NewFM 1st Division The NewFM First Division saw Lake Macquarie City FC dominate the regular season and secure the Premiership in all four grades. They were however defeated in the semi-final series along with Kahibah FC, leaving Wallsend FC and Belmont Swansea FC to contest the Grand Final. In an enthralling contest that included extra time, Wallsend FC eventually won the Grand Final in a penalty shootout, giving them back to back wins following their success in 2015. The First Division competition will be rebranded in 2017 to be named Northern League One and will include New Lambton FC. Lake Macquarie City FC has been granted an NPL licence for 2017-2019.

Telstra State Championships
Telstra Youth Challenge
Telstra SAP 12’s Metro
The Telstra State Championships for Boys event was held on the 11, 12 and 13 of June 2016, in Coffs Harbour with Newcastle winning both age groups with Emerging Jets (U10 + U11) coming 2nd in both. The approach to the tournament varies from zone to zone with some viewing it as an opportunity to play decent quality games against teams they do not normally play and others who regard winning as the pinnacle of their season. Despite this players undoubtedly enjoyed the experience.
The Telstra Youth Challenge was held at LMRFF on April 12, 13, 14. The main purpose of the tournament was as part of the selection process for the Country Teams for Nationals. In this regard, it was a very useful exercise and enabled Zone Coaches to benchmark their players.
Newcastle Football Mustangs finished on top of the Telstra SAP 12’s Metro in 2016, winning 19 of their 20 fixtures. Macquarie Football Rovers also performed strongly throughout the season. This component of the SAP is particularly important to the Talented Player Pathway. Players from Zone SAP’s are regularly monitored and invited to train with the Emerging Jets for extended periods. The vast majority of players in this program will transition to NPL Clubs in the following season.
The Telstra State Championships for Girls event was held on the 24, 25, and 26 of September in Coffs Harbour as well. The quality at the girl’s event was disappointingly low, however, on the positive side, three girls were selected for the Emerging Jets for 2017. Telstra State Championships

Westfield FFA Cup – NNSWF Qualifying Rounds With eighty teams nominated across all NNSWF seven Member Zones for the 2016 FFA Cup, the competition for the two NNSWF qualifying positions available in the FFA Round of 32 was always going to be competitive and at times intense. Norths United FC (Northern Inland) and Urunga FC (North Coast Football) were the two Northern regional winners who joined the six Southern regional winners in the Round of 32 Qualifying Weekend that was conducted at the LMRFF on the 18th and 19th of June, with Edgeworth Eagles FC and Lambton Jaffas FC winning through to the FFA Cup round of 32.
Westfield FFA Cup (from Round of 32) Edgeworth FC and Lambton Jaffas FC secured NNSWF’s two spots in the Final 32 for the Westfield FFA Cup in 2016. Both clubs drew fixtures away from home with Edgeworth Eagles heading to Cairns in Northern Queensland and Lambton Jaffas travelling south to Devonport in Tasmania. Lambton Jaffas were defeated 1-0 by Devonport Strikers in dreadful conditions whilst Edgeworth Eagles were too good for Far North Queensland winning 3-1 in a display of classic football. The Eagles then drew Western Sydney Wanderers at home in the Round of 16 but were outclassed by their more illustrious Hyundai A-League opponents going down 4-1 in front of a large vocal home crowd.

Official Supporter Club of the Newcastle Jets
In 2016, NNSWF in conjunction with the Newcastle Jets created over 20 football skills videos featuring Hyundai A-league, Westfield W-League and Emerging Jets players.
With the aim of connecting more fans with the Newcastle Jets, NNSWF partnered with the Newcastle Jets and local football clubs to boost the football culture in the Hunter Region.
These skills videos covered a wide range of skills for both beginner and advanced players, covering techniques from basic juggling, 1v1 moves, passing and running with the ball. These videos are accessible from the Coach HQ section on NNSWF’s website and were shared across both NNSWF and the Newcastle Jets’ social media platforms.
This program provided clubs with the opportunity to sell 6 game Official Supporter Club passes to their members and the wider community.
These videos aim to increase the number of registered players and other stakeholders throughout the Football Family in NNSW, who identify as fans of the Newcastle Jets Hyundai A-League and Westfield W-League teams. Newcastle Jets W-League School Visits Newcastle Jets W-League School visits are held during term 4 to coincide with the Westfield W-League season. The school visits aim to provide awareness of the Newcastle Jets W-League team, convert students to fans and increase attendance at Newcastle Jets W-League matches. Number of students engaged throughout Hunter Region Schools
10,000 students from 36 schools
The aim of the Official Supporter Club was to: 1. Encourage a culture of attendance at Newcastle Jets home games within Community Football Clubs throughout the region; and 2. Provide a fundraising mechanism for local football clubs to assist them in raising much needed funds to support them in running their club. A total of 57 Member Clubs signed on to be part of the Official Supporter Club program however only 100 Official Supporter Club Passes were sold.

REVIEW OF KEY ACTIVITIES Football Five5 A focus for 2016 was the development and refinement of the various Football FIVE5 product offerings available at the Lake Macquarie Regional Football Facility (LMRFF). After refinement of the competition structure, the exciting new football format saw over 430 teams participate, reaching full capacity on 3 of 4 nights over the summer period. The new format has proved attractive to a diverse range of players from Junior Leagues through to Seniors and All Age competitions, with Football FIVE5 appealing to both male and female players. Sidelines Café In its second year of operation, evaluation of market demands led to a refresh of the Sidelines Café menu, introducing new and exciting items, including a significant number of healthy food items. This refresh has proved popular with regular and casual visitors of the facility, with an increase in revenue and net profit target achieved. Café staff has continued to develop the Birthday Party offering, which saw 136 parties hosted, almost double the number of parties hosted in 2015.

(a) Basis of preparation These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure Requirements, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. Northern NSW Football Limited is a not for profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards. Historical cost convention These financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost and on an accruals basis. The financial report is presented in Australian Dollars. Going concern The financial statements have been prepared under the going concern basis. The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure Standards as issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) being AASB 1053 – Application of Ties of Australian Accounting Standards and AASB 2010-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from Reduced Disclosure Requirements.
(b) Revenue recognition
(c) Income tax
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed are net of returns, trade allowances, rebates and amounts collected on behalf of third parties.
The company is currently exempt from income tax under Section 50-45 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.
The company recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and specific criteria have been met for each of the company’s activities as described below. The amount of revenue is not considered to be reliably measurable until all contingencies relating to the sale or service have been resolved. (i) Provision of services Revenue from provision of services such as player registrations, competition fees, high performance and community football is recognised (net of returns, discounts and allowances) when services are provided to the customer. (ii) Sale of goods Revenue from sale of goods is recognised (net of returns, discounts and allowances) when control of the goods passes to the customer. (iii) Sponsorships Sponsorship revenue is recognised in the period in which the sponsorship benefits are provided. (iv) Interest income Interest income is recognised as it accrues.
(d) Property, plant and equipment All property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation and any impairment in value. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT) Depreciation on all assets is calculated using the straight line method to allocate their cost, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives, as follows: (d) Property, plant and equipment (continued) • Lease Assets
12.5%
• Plant & Equipment
5.0% to 33.3% Straight line
• Motor Vehicles
15.0% to 33.3% Straight line
• Leasehold Improvements
2.5% to 33.3% Straight line
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in the Income Statement.
(e) Leases
(g) Cash and cash equivalents
Leases of property, plant and equipment where the company has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the lease’s inception at the lower of the fair value of the leased property and the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in other short-term and long term payables. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to the income statement over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The property, plant and equipment acquired under finance lease is depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term.
For cash flow statement presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions and other short term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
(f) Impairment of assets Property, plant and equipment is assessed annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. The company has adopted Accounting Standard AASB 136, Impairment of Assets, and being a not-for-profit organisation, has estimated value in use by calculating the depreciated replacement cost of assets.
(h) Trade and other receivables Trade receivables are categorised under the requirement of AASB 139: Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement and are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days. Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off. A provision for impairment is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. Indicators of impairment include where there is objective evidence of significant financial difficulties, debtor bankruptcy, financial reorganisation or default in payment (more than 60 days overdue). The amount of the provision is recognised in the income statement. (i) Inventory Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and current replacement value.

(j) Financial Instruments
(m) Employee benefits
(n) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Recognition and derecognition Regular purchases and sales of investments are recognised on trade date the date on which the company commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the income statement. Held to Maturity (HTM) Investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity other than loans or receivables. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.
(i) Wages, salaries and annual leave Liabilities for wages, salaries and annual leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in other payables and the provision for employee benefits in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Liabilities expected to be settled after 12 months of the reporting date are measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date.
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.
Subsequent measurement Loans and receivables are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. HTM investments are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. (k) Deferred Income The liability for deferred income is the unutilised amounts of grants received on the condition that specified services are delivered or conditions are fulfilled. (l) Trade and other payables These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the company prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.
(ii) Long service leave The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. (iii) Termination benefits Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated before the normal retirement date, or when an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The company recognises termination benefits when it is demonstrably committed to either terminating the employment of current employees according to a detailed formal plan without possibility of withdrawal or providing termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after balance sheet date are discounted to present value.
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the statement of financial position. Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flow.

1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT) (o) Company The Company is an incorporated body being a Company Limited by Guarantee, not having share capital. The liability of Members is limited by guarantee, with the liability per Member being limited to twenty dollars ($20.00). The Company was incorporated on the 7th May 1980 to take over the Members funds and other assets and liabilities and to effectuate and carry into execution the rights and obligations of the Unincorporated Association known as “The Northern NSW Soccer Federation�. Its registered principal place of business is situated at 13 Park Rd, Speers Point New South Wales, 2284.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Significant accounting estimates and assumptions The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period are: Useful lives of non-current assets The useful life of Property, Plant and Equipment is initially assessed at the date the asset is ready for use and reassessed at each reporting date based on the use of the assets and the period over which economic benefits will be derived from the asset. There is uncertainty in relation to the assessment of the life of the asset including factors such as the rate of wear and tear and technical obsolescence. The estimates and judgements involved may impact the carrying value of the non-current assets and the depreciation and amortisation charges recorded in the Statement of Profit or loss and other comprehensive income should they change.
