Team & match officials and parent roles

Ensure that all parents rostered for roles collect their bibs and are aware of what they need to do. Please be aware that most of the official roles require some type of accreditation and must be verified as compliant by Everproof.

Team officials

- Team Manager       (WWCC – Working With Children Check)
- Coach                    (Appropriate Coaching level accreditation, WWCC)
- Assistant coach      (Appropriate Coaching level accreditation, WWCC)
- Trainer                    (First Aid, CPR, ERC – U13+, WWCC)
- Runner                   (WWCC)

Your Team Officials are allowed to show support for your side, but must do so respectfully and positively. Abuse and bad language directed at players, Umpires, officials or other parents is unacceptable.

 

Match officials

Please ensure your Match Officials understand that they must be seen to be neutral at all times during the game. This means they are not allowed to openly barrack for your side.
