Raiders Recommendations

Coach and Manager are in charge of the team - establish the “rules” to apply to your team and then explain these rules to parents

For example - establish a procedure to discuss any concerns that may arise during the season i.e. NOT on match day

Keep “Information” Wrap and refer to website

Ring relevant Council wet weather lines on match day to ensure field has not been closed

Give the other parents of the team some “ownership” of the team e.g. roster for shirt washing, match report writing, take photos for website, etc

Visit our website regularly and tell parents likewise – www.bthraiderssoccer.com.au for latest news – submit photos for photo gallery – download documents from library

Inspect playing fields for needles, broken glass, etc and ensure goal posts are ok

Advise parents of the above rules and Raiders expectations of conduct on match day

Canteen Roster – Wyatt Oval – great fun – children under 16 not permitted

Net “put up/pull down” roster

Phone results to Competition Secretary

Take good care of club gear – mark balls etc

Avoid fines (eg coach or manager not wearing MWFA ID) (under 10 and up)

Home team to deliver match card to Caroline Eggleston’s house (under 10 and up)

Raiders Wraps emailed approximately each fortnight and available from website

If you see anything of concern, advise ASAP
