Squad Manager – Game planning

This page is a process that you can go through to organise all the “extra” games and tournaments matches etc

Process

1. Get all the email addresses and tel nos from club websites or see here for a set – this is being populated at the moment
2. Liaise with them and organise tournaments/friendlies
3. Umpires are either coaches or “roped in” and are supplied by both teams – you can us juniors for umpires at the younger festivals (U8/10/12)
4. Pitch space
   1. U8-U10 use your training session space on sundays
   2. U12/14 – use the sunday morning 1030-1200 slot
   3. If you need more then ask your coach to email Allan James
