Roles & Responsibilities

Managers are required to provide game and training details to the team, including game cancelation due to field closures.

Canteen Roster
At home games each team is required to provide volunteers to spend half an hour in the canteen and manning the BBQ. Generally four volunteers are required and the times allocated for your team will not conflict with the team’s game time. Your team will not be allocated canteen duties every home game but when they are it is important that parents take the opportunity to put a little bit back into the club.
Mums and Dads are the backbone of our club and we rely on them to keep the wheels turning.
REMEMBER IN THIS INSTANCE IT IS NOT WHAT THE CLUB CAN DO FOR YOU
BUT WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR THE CLUB & YOUR CHILD!
Remember, if a manager has any problems or queries their first point of call are the following:
Minis ONLY
Fruit Roster
The manager coordinates the roster for parents to bring fruit for the kids on game day. It’s a good idea to find out if boys have allergies to any particular fruit but otherwise encourage parents to be imaginative.
Coach:
The coach’s role firstly is to teach & impart rugby league skills sets & sportsmanship. Coordinate training drills; work with the trainer and parent volunteers to run the training sessions.
The club have two coaching coordinators (Ryhs Proven and Grant Wheelhouse) that are available to provide assistance to coaches with drills and tips on keeping the players engaged & happy.
Coaches are to be certified through League Safe by completing a Modified Games Course or an International Games Course.
NOTE: A COACH IS NOT ALLOWED ON THE FIELD TO ATTEND AN INJURED PLAYER, ONLY A LEAGUE SAFE ACREDITED TRAINER AND THE GROUND FIRST AID OFFICER CAN ATTEND TO INJURED PLAYERS.
Minis
With Mini’s football (particularly U6s) training and game day is about the kids having fun, learning skills and being part of a team, but most importantly having fun.
It is important to understand the time frame by which the kids can maintain their attention on any one activity, before the activity starts to become ineffective. Plan your drills so that they remain within these time frames (under 6s are generally about 5 minutes).
The coach is allowed on the field for games in U6s and U7s, to coach the team through the game.
Coaches are not required to wear a vest but are encouraged to wear a club polo shirt. If you or your runners have not got one, get your Manger to advise committee.

- Some managers like to organise a roster from the start of the season, to let parents know when they are required and parents can organise for others to replace them if they can’t make it.
- Other managers just keep tabs on who have already volunteered and who have not and allocate the duty on a week by week basis.
