Return to Play Guidelines

As of 18 February 2021 

Please familiarise yourself with Altona City Soccer Club’s Return to Play guidelines.  It is important that when you attend an activity at ACSC that you are familiar with and understand what is expected of you and your family. 
The guidelines are based on directives from Football Victoria, Hobsons Bay City Council and the State Government and allow us to conduct activities at HC Kim Reserve whilst keeping us all safe and on the pitch. 
 
Whilst we are all adapting to this new way of life, we envisage that coaches may face difficulties ensuring young players understand and adhere to the requirements and guidelines outlined. We ask that parents and carers discuss the requirements prior to attending an ACSC activity to assist the coaching team. 
 
Please read the documents below that outline the Return to Play guidelines and rules.

Here we share the stories and memories told.

Football 4 FootbaLL             Bush Fire Relief Fundraiser 

Toby Wight Head Shave

Supporting East Gippsland United FC

The East Gippsland community was devastated by the bushfires last summer with many businesses, farmers and families impacted. So too was its football community. Altona City Soccer Club set up a fundraiser to support the families of the East Gippsland United FC that were unable to pay for their children’s 2020 soccer fees. 
Unfortunately, due to COVID, our bush fire raffle and gold coin collection at the Lightning Cup was unable to take place.
Thankfully due to the determination of Toby, his family, and Football 4 Football Bush Relief fundraising coordinator Kim Powell the third planned part of our fundraising went ahead.
Altona City SC U18  player Toby Wright wanted to help the cause and put his hand up to shave his good crop of curly hair. A GoFundMe page was set up and Toby raised a very impressive $1,339.05 for the families of the East Gippsland FC. 
Thank you, to Toby for stepping up and ‘donating’ his hair to assist with the bushfire fundraising efforts and to Kim Powell for all your hard work in leading the Football 4 Football Bush Fire Relief fundraising campaign. 
Check out the before, during, and after photos of Toby’s head shave.
