What Does a Coach / Manager Do?

THE COACH

The main role of the Coach is to:

  1. train the players to the best of his/her ability

  2. encourage a good sporting attitude and an understanding of the rules

  3. bear in mind that all registered players in the team must be given an equal opportunity to play.

  4. with the Manager, organise the Team Official, a representative for club Coach/Manager's meetings and parent helpers for the team's Duty Day

  5. given the above, provide a team environment that encourages players to return next year.

The Coach needs to have an understanding of child protection.

MANAGER

The coach works with the players. The Manager is responsible for the rest.

This includes to:

  1. ensure players are fully registered before taking the field.

  2. keep the team involved of playing times and activities of the club.

  3. fill in the Match Card for team - before and after game (check score written on card for competition age-groups).

  4. check opposition team’s IDs and Match Card details.

  5. keep a record of the team's results for competition age groups/divisions (ie not U6 - U9). Compare these with the official results on the MDSFA site. Sometimes there can be a difference between your records and Macarthur's. If this occurs, contact the club to follow up.

  6. make payment for the attending official referees at Away matches, keep the receipt and return it to the club (Treasurer).

  7. inform the club's Secretary of any red/yellow cards by Sunday night 6.30pm

  8. keep a record of red/yellow cards, and where suspension occurs, keep a record of stood down matches (players name must be written in "stood down" section of Match Card).

  9. organise the Team Official each game day

  10. with the Coach, organise a representative for club meetings (if neither Coach or Manager can attend on the night)

  11. organise parent helpers for the team's Duty Day.

The Manager needs to have an understanding of child protection.
