We’re working on an important update to the Club's Constitution to make sure it reflects who we are today and sets us up for the future. This is a chance for all members to have their say and help shape the way our club is run.

This change aligns us with our governing bodies – Football NSW, Football Australia, and Hills Football Inc – and reflects our shared identity within the broader football community. While our name will be updated, our commitment to our players, families, and community remains the same.

We’ve put together answers to the questions we hear most about the Draft Constitution. From how it affects volunteering, to membership roles, and what changes mean for the Club’s future, this FAQ is your quick guide to understanding the updates. Check it out to stay informed and have your say!
The current constitution is out of date and requires some significant modifications to help our Club be governed effectively and meet requirements. The proposed constitution encompasses the former document and makes allowances for the Club to operate under best practice governance.
Yes, the objects of the Club will remain similar. In the proposed constitution the objects of the Club are to conduct, encourage, promote, advance and administer Football throughout the Local Area. This includes actively fostering Football skill development, organising and conducting competitions within the Association and maintaining a good image of the Club and Football. More information on the objects of the club can be found in Section 2. Objects of the Draft Constitution.
A sub-committee was formed of elected committee members who consulted with lawyers from Landers and Rodgers who specialise in constitutions for sporting associations and clubs.
At the AGM, members will vote on adopting the new Constitution. A majority vote is required for it to pass. The AGM is scheduled for 17 November 2025, and all members will be notified in advance. To participate, members will need to register their attendance.
The name change aligns our Club with our governing bodies – Football Australia, Football NSW, and Hills Football Inc – ensuring consistency and recognition across all levels of the sport.
According to our lawyers, Landers & Rodgers, members will first vote on the resolution to change the Club’s name to North Rocks Football Club Incorporated.
- If the name change is approved, members will then vote to adopt the Constitution under the new name.
- If the name change is not approved, members will vote to adopt the Constitution under the existing name, North Rocks Soccer Club Inc.
Both Constitution options are identical except for the Club’s name.
If the Constitution is not approved by members, the Club will continue operating under its current Constitution. The Committee may review feedback from members and consider proposing a revised Constitution in the future.
The Club will continue to be known as North Rocks Soccer Club Inc.
The Club will be run by a maximum 7-person Board of Directors. The Board can appoint individuals to functional roles, such as Registrar, to help manage the Club and achieve its strategic priorities. Other supporting roles may be organised as sub-committees, as decided by the Board.
Under the proposed Constitution, members have clear voting rights and a better understanding of their role, making it easier to participate in and influence Club decisions.
The proposed Constitution improves governance and transparency. Currently, anyone can attend the AGM and be elected to a role with enough support. Under the new Constitution, candidates for the Board must:
- Formally declare their intention at least 45 days before the AGM
- Demonstrate the skills, expertise, and contributions that they can bring to the Club
Voting members will then elect a Board of Directors from the list of nominated candidates, setting the Club up for stronger governance and strategic growth.
