covid 19 _ update
COVID 19 Update
Return to football can commence as of 12 June, as per Stage 2 of the QLD Govt 'easing roadmap'. This allows for gatherings of up to 20 people, provided there is no contact, and social distancing measures are adhered to.
The challenge for all clubs, and particularly for larger clubs such as ours, is that the 20 person rule is applied on a 'per venue' basis. This means 20 people max at our club (as opposed to per field, for example). The crazy thing is, if we went down to Mallawa right now, there would be more than 20 people walking dogs, exercising etc! However, these are the guidelines under which our club must operate.
Sporting bodies are working with government to come up with a more 'commonsense' approach, but if it does stay at 20 per venue, we will have to be creative about where and when we train.
What could this look like? Whilst we are still fleshing out the detail, it would mean 1 x training session per week, within a one hour timeslot, which would either be one afternoon or evening, or a time over the weekend. The club will provide your team/coach with a time and place, but unfortunately we will not be able to accommodate specific requests for times/days. We are in contact with local schools, about the prospect of using their 'venues' for training also.
Post 10 July
All going according to plan, after this 'Stage 3' easing, the clubhouse can re-open, and we will have teams returning to competition, in what would be a condensed season - eg. July to October. It looks like numbers per venue will be capped at 100, so again, this is going to require some flexibility/creativity in terms of where and when our teams play.
Whilst we appreciate people will still have lots of questions around this.....we do not yet have the answers. This is a work in progress, with our sole motivation being to get kids playing soccer......being part of a team and part of a community ️️
We also appreciate that there may be a small number of people, for whom the revised format does not work. For example, clash with another sport, or you live in NSW! Once we have a clearer picture of what the season will look like, we are happy to have those discussions with parents, and then may need to re-jig teams accordingly.
We'll need everyone to be flexible, work together, and maintain a positive mindset, in order to make the best of the situation. We're committed to doing whatever it takes to get up and running, and hope that our PBSC families are equally enthusiastic about coming together again.

EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY _ ALL FOOTBALL ACTIVITIES WILL CEASE AT PBSC.
Football will not recommence until 14 April at the earliest. This means no matches and no training for any teams, without exception.
As frustrating as the timing is, our club firmly supports the directive below, from the National/State/Local football federations.
The more this was discussed 'around the grounds' earlier this evening, the more it became clear that this is the appropriate response, and in line with community expectations. Some things are bigger than football. We as a club are committed to playing our part in the necessary global response.
This is an ever-changing situation and we will of course continue to pass on all relevant information as it comes to hand. We appreciate your co-operation during this unprecedented emergency, and look forward to picking things up again as soon as we are able.
We wish you and your families good health during this unsettling time.

Rich-Baghuelou signs for English EPL Club Crystal Palace Under 23's
All at Palm Beach Soccer Club wish to congratulate former junior player 20 years old Jay Rich for signing with Crystal Palace Under 23 squad and at the same time took another significant step in his footballing career. Crystal Palace made a successful bid for the talented centre back from Welling United where he continued to impress with his consistent performances. After just 2 weeks at Palace he has now been elevated to Captain of the Under 23 Professional Development Squad and has been part of the starting 11 in all eight matches since arriving.
Jay's talent first came to club attention when as a 13 year old he was invited to train with the clubs Youth Squad (Under 19) by former coach and South American Professional Jorge Alberto Calomino.
Jay left our shores in 2016 as a 16 year old encouraged by his parents JR and Louise to chase his dream to become a professional footballer. JR, Jay and younger Brother Taj an up and coming player in his own right spent hours upon hours practising at Mallawa Drive and it is so incredibly pleasing to see that dedication and hard work bear fruit.

Jay started at the Fulham Foundation before moving to Dulwhich Hamlet were after breaking into the top side stayed there for a couple of seasons. Jay continued to catch scouts eyes and soon found himself at Welling United where he played 22 1st Team matches before Crystal Palace knew they wanted him on their books
Keep working hard Jay, you have the world at your feet mate.
Congratulations JR and Louise.
