Parents & Players

Duties

These aren't huge tasks but the more help we have the easier the job is. A committee member will always be available for advice so don’t be afraid to ask.

Remember, it is only a couple of times a year and it’s not too much to ask for the parents to lend a hand, especially when you consider the amount of time and effort the coaches and managers put into your children.

Thanks for your help and support, we couldn’t do it without you.

Canteen Roster

Please ensure that 2-3 parents are available.

Field Setup Roster

Please have at least 4 parents available for 7am start. Listed teams are the
1^st team to play on the day and will need to arrive in enough time to put nets up.

Senior teams that play at 3 pm are required to pack up after every home game and as such have been left off the roster.

Alpha  Road

Team Photos

Photo roster for the 1st May (round 4). This will be a busy day, so we will need teams to be dressed and ready to go at the allocated times. We have worked it as best we can around the kids games.
