With football back in full swing, just a reminder about protocol around communication with coaches.
Please remember, coaches are volunteers, and this is NOT their main job.
WhatsApp should only be used for coaches’ info, not to discuss other things between parents, discuss what you had for tea or how many beers down you are on a Saturday night.
Teamer, please ensure you respond asap, download the app and have notifications turned on for a quick reply.
Please respond to game invites (Weekend games) by Friday night latest. Coaches need to plan and ensure team sheets are up to date. Coaches should not be chasing you to see if your child can play as this eats into their own personal time.
Please also remember the protocol in speaking to coaches.
Coaches/section leads should NOT be contacted after games, please allow 24 hrs to message or call them and if you need to chat, coaches are happy to arrange this in advance after a training session. Please do not ask to chat before training as the focus is on the session and the players.
We aim to ensure everyone has a great experience with their football and that isn't just the players, we want the coaches to be enjoying the experience also.
If you need to raise things higher, please discuss with myself or if the girls’ section, speak to Ayla before reaching out to me.
We thank you all for the support of the team, coaches and club and wish teams all the success in this half of the season.
