The Premier Division game set down for tonight, Tuesday 24th of May between Ballina and Italo Stars has been postponed. The fields in Lismore are still closed due to rain.

Training will be held as normal tonight at the club house.

Following on from the last post on helping out in the canteen, another way that you can help out is by getting behind the bar and serving.

To do that, all you need to do is get your RSA and turn up on a Saturday night.

RSA training is invaluable to anyone wanting to get into the Hospitality industry, so not only will you be helping your club, but you will be gaining valuable skills for the future.

Have a look at the  RSA A4 Flyer Good Sports Program, and then contact us with any questions.

The latest version of the Canteen Roster for home games for the rest of the season has been posted on the Juniors Page.

For those of you that haven’t seen it yet, every member of the club is rostered on to do at least one shift in the canteen. If you cannot be present for your scheduled time, you will need to contact a member of your team who may be able to swap times.

The club relies on the income from the canteen to fund better services for all members, and the canteen is much more efficient when it is properly staffed. Please do your bit to help.

If there are any problems with the roster, please contact us.

Ballina Soccer Club has a mixed aged training for its junior players on Monday afternoons at the new Ballina Hockey & Sports Complex.

FNC NSW Futsal are running the program with Brazilian Futsal player & coach Vinny Leite.

There is no cost involved but your commitment is necessary to make this work.  This is a great opportunity for the development of skills and to get in some extra training.

Monday 4pm-5pm (6-11yrs) & 5pm-6pm (12-16yrs). There are limited places for each session.
