Westside Football Club
Team Managers Guide 2013
Your dedication to enhancing junior sport by volunteering to be a Team
Manager is very much appreciated. The Club could not function without you in
this largely unnoticed but vital role.
This guide is intended to provide information to assist you in your role and any
additional queries can be directed to the Club Management Committee (refer
to the Westside FC Handbook).
Ongoing duties

Monitor player safety at all times. Report any incidents to the Club
Management Committee immediately.
-
Keep team players & parents informed of team information such as
game times/locations, training time adjustments, wet weather updates
and related administrative details.

Organise a half time energy roster (e.g. oranges, fruit, red frogs).
Discuss preferences with the team parents/players.
-
Organise a jersey-washing roster.

In previous seasons we were required to complete match sheets for
SSF players. This is no longer required.

For home matches it would be greatly appreciated if a couple of
parents could assist the Referees in setting up the fields and nets, and
with the pack up post match as well.
-
For home matches it would be greatly appreciated if a parent could
assist Canteen staff particularly at half time or full time. Ideally a parent
roster would be great.

The Club arranges volunteer referees for your games. If you do find
yourself without a referee, please see if you can find a parent willing to
step in.

on match day, then the rules state that the Home side is responsible for
arranging volunteer referees. Please ask if there is a parent/spectator
