Grounds Managment and Player Safety Policies

Grounds Official

We must provide a Grounds Official on game days. To ensure coverage, one member from each team will be allocated as the grounds official. This means that in most cases there will be more that one ground official on duty to share the responsibility Please read our Grounds Office guide which outlines your responsibilities at home or neutral grounds.

Weather and Ground Closures

Wentworth Falls Football Club makes informed decisions about ground closures by working closely with Blue Mountains City Council, and in alignment with Nepean Football Association and Nepean Referee Group guidelines. The WFFC Ground Closure Policy and Wet Weather Pitch Inspections Checklist outlines the process for assessing field conditions and determining whether games and training will proceed during wet weather, extreme heat, or lightning storms. The club follows established guidelines to ensure safety and optimal playing conditions for all players.

Extreme Heat and Lightning
