Important information:
How can you
support your child?
By
coaching, managing, transporting them to and from practices and games, taking
your turn on the weekly score bench duty, and supporting them from the
sideline. Coaches are always
required.
Can you
assist? Do you know of anyone that may be able to help? The Assn. provides
support in the way of mentoring and materials.
Please read the
Friday night Rules and ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY once they are provided.
Responsibilities: For each
team entered, we must supply a coach, manager, and a weekly score bench operator.
Referees
and floor controllers are employed by the Assn., but each team must
contribute a responsible adult to the score bench for their game. Managers are
to organise a roster so all parents get involved – we will support you!
The jobs are
easily learned and will help you to gain more understanding of the game and be
more involved with your child. More details will be given after registration is
completed.
Full Rules will be sent home soon.
