2020 Welcome Address President Mark Giuliani

17 Jan 2020 by Mark Giuliani

Dear Families, players, friends,
 
Welcome all members to the 2020 season!
 
It’s my pleasure on behalf of our committee to welcome you to Manningham United Blues FC (MUBFC) for the 2020 season. For those families new and returning to the club we extend a warm welcome and we look forward to embracing you into our family and community yet again. Thank you to all the parents who contributed in 2019 and to those that will volunteer in 2020 to play an active part in their child’s development.
 
The announcement of Football Victoria’s (FV) new structure for the 2020 season will now offer players at MUBFC the opportunity to participate in both community and National Premier League (JBNPL) teams under the one banner at MUBFC. The structure creates both more opportunities for development and pathways for all players and age groups.
 
As a result, this year will be another exciting year as we continue to grow our club. The primary drivers being the re-introduction of our MiniRoos players and our Girl’s Junior and Senior Women’s teams. The club’s expansion has been supported with the introduction of a dedicated Football Department in 2020. This team will drive both player and coach development to ensure our reputation as one of the most professional junior sports clubs in the community is maintained in 2020.
 
The 2020 season has also commenced with the appointment of a new Executive team that will shape the future direction of the club and we’re excited about the contribution they’re keen to make. We’ll no doubt introduce them to you down track, and trust you’ll have the opportunity to both meet and express any thoughts you have regarding the club’s direction and operation.
 
There is a great spirit and family atmosphere at the club which serves a greater purpose than just playing football. Our community and social responsibility values and programs will see us raise the benchmark in 2020 as we continue to foster council and sponsor partnering.
 
Manningham United Blues FC is administered by committed and talented volunteers and it’s important that this group is continually expanded upon year to year to keep the club moving forward. There are numerous roles and opportunities at the club for volunteers and I would welcome all parents willing to contribute further to contact us.
 
Achievements we’re proud of to date;
• A big congratulations to the Senior Men’s group on their excellent finish in 2019 finishing 5th to secure an NPL2 place for 2020.
• Successful inaugural year in our 2019 NPL season.
• Seamless integration of Macedon Miniroos into Manningham United Blues FC.
• Maintained a strong retention policy across all 2020 Junior teams to ensure a minimum of 65% and higher retention rate of talent.
• Manningham United Blues expects to field in excess of 40 teams in 2020;
• New partnership formed with KONQA to rebrand and refresh the Manningham spirit.
 
Like any club, sponsors are vital and this year we’ve had a great response from new and existing sponsors. it’s a fantastic way to be involved and to gain exposure in such a large and growing football community. If you’re interested in sponsoring please contact me directly to discuss at president@mubfc.com .We encourage our club members to utilise the services of our sponsors, and we’ll officially share them with you prior to the commencement of the season.
 
I personally look forward to meeting you all throughout the season.

Warm Regards

Mark Giuliani
President MUBFC.
