We are proud to share that the club has installed Melville’s first Free Sports Library on Len Shearer Reserve today. We will be stocking it with used balls, allowing anyone in the community to play football, whenever they are in area. We hope you love the opportunity to play sports with friends! Special thanks to: Fremantle Men Shed for helping make our library box;Bunnings Melville for donating paint and concrete; Playmaster Pty Ltd for making, powder-coating and donating the post; and Cornelia and her family for organising this project and installing the Sports Library!
Ben LaHaye joins MUMFC from Sports Chaplaincy Australia. You may have heard of SCA from the passionate work their volunteers undertake in the community such as working with kids in sports clubs and those kids who need some extra attention and support to guide them through periods of distress and towards completing their education.Ben is an energetic and inspiring young man who loves football. As a Chaplain, Ben has donated his time to MUMFC to provide a level of care that is new to the club. His background in football is in goal keeping (note the goal keeping length arms in the photo). His mission is to provide advice and guidance for MUMFC members at training and on game day. You can reach out to Ben on 0434038822.

Help our Community
We do plenty well in creating a community around the club. But there are many areas in which we can do better and many ideas which need implementation. The strength of a clubs community is only as strong as the engagement and drive of the clubs members. The club always needs your help.
Your ideas and ability to help with betterment of our club community are always welcome. Feel free to get in touch with myself or a committee member or a coach (or anyone else you know at the club), and together, we can put ideas into motion and find ways for you to help us grow. State Government Funding
Both Liberal and Labor have committed $50,000 towards infrastructure upgrades at Len Shearer Reserve as part of the upcoming state election. This is a reasonable result, and the club will continue to campaign for further upgrades in the near future. Thank you to both parties for their commitment to contribute.
Thanks for reading and feel free to get in touch with any queries in the lead up to the 2021 season. I’m sure you will be receiving plenty of specific information from coaches, managers and/or committee over the coming weeks as we approach Round 1.
Happy new year to you and your families. I hope you enjoyed the festive season & school holidays.
As always, plenty of club and football news to report heading into the 2021 season. I’ll limit this update to a few pieces of information.
2021 Registration
Registrations are open! All of our age groups & sections would have already received separate communications from our Registrar (Melinda) with registration instructions. Returning players and new players are all most welcome.
I’m pleased to report that the 2021 registration fees for our young Sunday players (ages 10-18) have been reduced from 2020. Amount of reduction varies by age due to differences in Football West fees for each age group.
The club has also introduced a family discount. For 3 or more full player registrations within the immediate family, the club will rebate 20% of the club portion for total registration fees paid. Conditions may apply, please contact our Registrar if you have any queries on this.

Football Mastery
Our niche Football Mastery program run by Technical Director Mark Jones will be back in Term 1. Watch our website and Facebook page for details.
The existing Winthrop Park changeroom is being rebuilt sometime towards late 2021. The club has had ongoing involvement in the project over a number of years, to ensure this facility can meet the needs of all our playing members.
The club has recently created an account for this recycling scheme. If you are willing to use this recycling scheme for your cans and bottles, and donate the income for our club, then please follow these steps:
1) install AppleWallet or Wallet Pass app (Apple version vs Android version)
3) add this pass to your AppleWallet / Wallet Pass app
4) drop your cans or bottles at a recycling facility (e.g Tomra Recycling Facility at 46 McCoy St Myaree), using the barcode which is now in your app
This will make a small contribution to our clubs account (10c per container, and will also help the environment!
Containers for change
We are looking forward to the 2021 season. Various activities around the club will start ramping up over the next couple of months as we progress to the season start dates in April.
For the first time, we are hosting the Football West preseason Night Series for our top Women’s & Men’s senior teams. This is a great showcase for the club, and a chance for everyone to enjoy some football under lights in warm weather! Various fixtures held on Friday nights in mid-Feb to mid-March, so stay tuned to our Facebook page for further promos and details.
