Administration

After the Game

Behaviour & Welfare

• Remind parents to be positive supporters — no shouting instructions or negative comments.

• Contact the Club’s Welfare Officer if you have any concerns.
• Ask parents privately about any medical conditions to ensure player safety.

Compliance

• Escalate disputes on match day to the Ground Marshal or Committee.

Events

• Refer to the club calendar for official events and tournaments.
• Notify the Club if your team enters any external tournaments.
