A team training booking for regular weekly training sessions can be made by a registered team coach and/or team manager. Booking requests made to the Club from unregistered team officials (coach or manager), parents of players or from individual players will not be accepted.
Team training booking requests can be made by emailing a request to teamtraining@abbotsfordjuniorsfc.com.au with two (2) suitable days and times for the team to conduct training. These should be discussed and agreed by the team with the team’s coach and manager prior to submitting a booking request. A failure to nominate an alternate time may see your booking held over while the Club works to finalise other bookings.

Reserved Field Space and Restrictions
The guidelines for training bookings and space allocation to teams are as follows:
- All Mini-Roos training bookings placed will be allocated a one-sixth-field training space for a single hour (60 minute) duration; and
- ALL junior, youth and adult training bookings placed will be initially allocated a quarter-field training space for a single hour (60 minute) duration. This is to ensure equal training access for all AJFC teams until all teams have been allocated at least one training time. Training space will be reviewed after this time.
- One Campbell Park field each evening will be reserved from 7:00pm to host catch-up games when required
- Half field bookings will not be possible before 8pm
- Under 6 and Under 7 team bookings will not be accepted for field access after 6:30pm

Guidelines will be reviewed as the season progresses with a view to providing additional training opportunities for teams that request them.

Finalised Team Training Bookings
AJFC will email the team coach and manager with confirmation of the day, time and a field location once a training booking is approved and allocated in the schedule. This will be published in the AJFC Team Training Schedule.
During preseason while training times are being finalised by the Club, the schedule will remain a DRAFT and will be subject to further change. This may mean a team training allocation changes time and/or field location to ensure that all teams are afforded equitable access to a suitable training time and field space.
Teams should check the schedule regularly to ensure their allocation is correct.
Please email teamtraining@abbotsfordjuniorsfc.com.au in relation to any training issues or questions.
