Junior coaches are all voluntary members of the club. We acknowledge and appreciate the value of the time and effort invested in developing the skills of our young football players, and making the club possible. Throughout the juniors, coaches are mainly parents who are keen to help develop the skills of our young players. As a coach, no matter of age or level, players will benefit from, enjoy and appreciate your support and encouragement – your own enjoyment will parallel theirs
With around 100 junior coaches needed in our newly merged club , please don’t wait for us to ask you … tick the box. Junior teams normally practice once a week. The coach picks day and time to suit, generally an hour one night during the week – though if the weekend suits better, then so be it.
All coaches are offered coaching courses. First level is Small Whites Coaching Course developing basic skills and drills. For those wishing to extend their skills the next level is the Advanced Junior Club Coaching Certificate.
We are keen to hear as early as possible from anybody who is keen to coach, also any coach wishing to complete their next coaching level please contact your grade club captain:
NB. 2009 Season - all coaches and committee members receive a subsidy of up to $110 off annual family subs.
Each team requires a manager. This person will assist the coach in contacting players as required. Helping with substitutions, making sure gear is all handed in and in good order, etc. Complete team card. Pass on club notices. Helping out at practices if needed. Bit like being a parent really!! Just tick the box on your registration form or if you have any questions contact your Club Captain.
