This document is recommended reading for Team managers and will be reviewed annually by FFV to meet the changing environment and requirements of a club.

2.1.                  Function of a Team Manager

A Team Manager is the person that assists and complements the coach by performing all administrative tasks required to run and maintain a successful team. Whilst the coach remains the ultimate authority in the team, the Team Manager nonetheless can have a significant influence in the way the team performs and behaves. Thus, a capable Team Manager can contribute to the on ground performance of the side. Consequently a good Team Manager will allow a coach to concentrate on coaching the players. This will ensure each player receives optimum attention and gives every player a chance to perform to the best of their ability.

2.2.                  Responsibilities of the Team Manager

2.2.1.               Interface to the Club

In general, the Team Manager is the primary point of contact between members of the team, parents and the Club. Matters other than team administrative issues should be referred to the coach. It is important that the Team Manager and Coach work as a team and agree among themselves the scope of each other’s duties.

2.2.2.   Information to Players/Parents

It is important that all players/parents receive, in a timely manner, information about matches or other Club activities. Timely information ensures the following:

i.              Players/Parents are able to schedule activities in advance.

ii.              Players/Parents should be given a complete fixture of matches. Have spare copies available during the season as fixtures are sometimes misplaced.

iii.             Parents and players cannot use the “I didn’t know” excuse.

iv.             Ask parents to let you know in advance if they are away for a weekend or going on holidays to help you in preparing a roster and so that the coach knows when a player is not available (Juniors Only)

2.2.3.   Player Registration

i.              Players register directly with the Club, via the Registrar, but once appointed, the Team Manager can help and assist in streamlining this process by ensuring that all required documents are completed and lodged with the Club.

ii.              All players are then registered with FFA through FFV

iii.             All players are required to fill out FFA’s Registration of Amateur Player prescribed form 03

iv.             Parents (Juniors) should complete any official club membership forms

v.             Once the registrar and the team managers have gathered all registrations, these players are then registered with the FFV via the on-line system prior to the commencement of the season, and an FFA identification number is allocated to the player. This number remains with the player throughout their football career, irrespective of which club the player transfers to or form.

vii.            There are three (3) player categories. Each player will fall into one of these three categories:

a.             Players that were members of the Club last year and were registered with FFV.

b.             Players that were members of another club and were registered with FFV or an affiliated body.

c.             Players that were not members of any other clubs and were not registered with FFV or an affiliated body.

2.2.4.               Season Fixtures

i.              Team fixtures are issued prior to the commencement of the season by FFV.

ii.              The first fixture can usually be regarded as a draft.

iii.             Some clubs invariably withdraw some of their teams from competition, resulting in FFV having to re-issue fixtures.

2.2.5.   Team Uniforms

i.              All teams must wear approved and endorsed apparel as per FFV rules and regulations.

ii.              All shorts, socks and jumpers must have the approved FFV logo displayed upon each Item of apparel. If the player does not have the correct attire, then the player is unable to play on the day.

iii.             It is the responsibility of both the Team Manager and the Coach to ensure that this code is firmly adhered to. If not, a club faces a fine for misconduct.

2.2.6.               First Aid Kits

i.              Each team should be provided with a fully outfitted “First Aid Kit” by their club committee.

ii.              The Team Manager needs to maintain this kit and ensure that it is available for both training sessions and game day.

iii.             Legally, clubs are not permitted to offer anything more than the most basic treatment to an injured player. A cold compress (or a sponge and a bucket of water) is about all that can be applied. Players who are bleeding should not be allowed to remain on the pitch. If an injury is serious, the player should not be moved, and an ambulance called. It is the responsibility of the parent or guardian or player (Seniors Only) to determine what treatment their child or they themselves should receive.

iv.             All team managers should fill out an “Injury Report” if a player is injured, this will be needed in the event there is an insurance claim. These should be kept with the club

2.2.7.   Fundraising

i.              It is important for the Team Manager to encourage parents and players to participate in as many fundraising activities as possible.

ii.              The more funds a club has, the better the facilities the Club can offer all families.

iii.             Any parents or players with fundraising ideas or offers of help should be directed to the committee or sub – committee for fundraising.

2.2.8.   Club Awards

i.              A club may have awards at the end of the season and as the Team Manager knows the team better than the club committee it should be up to the team manager to keep track of the players and their performance throughout the season.

ii.              If a club has not instituted any club awards below is a sample of what type of awards you can implement and how to go about voting:

 

a. Awards

 

Rooball:                   1. Player with Best Attitude (Parent Voting Selection)

2. Player with Best Skills (Parent Voting Selection)

3. Coaches Award (Coach Selection)

i.              One parent at each game (juniors) and three separate individuals (Seniors) are to be asked to fill in a form detailing the players they saw earning 3,2 and 1 votes for best, second and third best on ground respectively.

ii.              The players’ names and strip numbers are to be written on the voting slip.

iii.             The Team Manager is to collect the voting slips after the game and insert the three slips into an envelope and seal it. On the front of the envelope should be written the date of the game, opposition team and the score.

iv.             To ensure that voting is unbiased and consistent throughout the year, the voting task should be rotated amongst all the parents or available spectators providing votes.

v.             Team Managers (Juniors) and Club Secretary (Seniors) are to have custody of the votes cast.

2.2.10.Vote Counting

i.              How each team counts the votes is purely up to the team, Team Manager and Coach.

However, as a suggestion, a “Brownlow” style of count is the most exciting method.

ii.              The Team Manager along with the club should arrange a gathering at the Club to read out the votes, however this may not suit all teams and they may consider holding the vote count on the same night as another age group. This topic should be discussed during the course of the season.

2.2.11.             Presentation Night/Day

The Club usually circulates details of a “Presentation Night” to be held at the end of the season. Once this has been organised, the Team Manager needs to advise all the parents of this event in ample time so they can make arrangements to attend.

2.3.                  Training Nights

2.3.1.               Equipment

All equipment that is required for the teams training session and games needs to be prepared by the Team Manager prior to the session or game.

2.3.2.   Confirmation of Weekend Match

1.             During the season, team managers should expect the unexpected. Opposition teams may request a deferment of a game or a team may not be able to field a side. It is good practice to hand out a confirmation of the weekend’s game to each player. Furthermore, this is a good opportunity to hand out any club-related material circulated from time to time.

2.             When it is the club’s “Home Game”, it is the responsibility of the opposing team to telephone and confirm these details with the Club Secretary. If details are altered for whatever reason, players and parents must be informed immediately and directly.

3.             When it is the club’s “Away Game”, it is the Team Managers responsibility, to contact the opposing team seventy-two (72) hours prior to the scheduled “Away Game” kick-off time to ensure that all details, such as kick-off time and venue are confirmed as per the fixture. Even with the advent of fixtures published via the internet, it is still necessary to ring and confirm match details with the opposition.

4.             Once fixtures are announced the team manager should also check on the BASL website at the beginning of the season what colour the opposition team wears for matches. It is the responsibility of the “Away” team to provide an alternate strip if the colours of the two teams clash.

2.4.                  Game Days

2.4.1.   Half Time Refreshments

i.              The game of football is a strenuous, energetic and vigorous sport. For players to maintain their energy for the entire game, it is strongly recommended that half-time refreshments be provide and that players have a water-bottle available,

ii.              Traditionally, many sports provide oranges cut into quarters. It is up to each individual team on what refreshments players are provided at half-time. It is suggested that a roster arrangement of parents be established.

2.4.2.   Home Matches

i.              If the club has not allocated a grounds manager then it is normally the Team Manager’s responsibility to set-up the ground prior to the commencement of play.

ii.              A roster should be set up for parents to assist the Team Manager with the set up of the ground.

iii.             As a rule, Team Manager’s should be at the ground at least one hour prior to kick-off, ready for rostered parents to start marking the ground and hang the goal nets in readiness for the day.

iv.             Obviously, these duties shall be more applicable to those teams whom are scheduled to commence early in the morning. However, all Team Manager’s are responsible to perform and achieve duties which have been scheduled for their respective age group.

v.             The Team Manager needs to conscript player’s parents to assist and support not only their respective age group, but also the Club in general otherwise it will be the same parents helping every week and the team manager may end up doing everything themselves Drawing up a parents’ roster may assist in conveying the teams and the clubs expectations.

vi.             If the Team Manager is the last to leave, they need to ensure that both Change Rooms and Store Room are anything else that has been used is properly locked and that all items are put away.

2.4.3.   Team Sheets

The following shall only apply to junior teams under 11 and above:

i.              A club shall supply every Team Manager with an FFV “Team Sheet” book.

ii.              Once the game has finished, the Team Manager and the match official will sign the Team sheet and the match official will keep the original (Seniors) and the Team Manager (Juniors). The duplicate “Team Sheet” is given to the opposition’s team manager and the triplicate is retained in the book. The team manager should check the scores on the team sheet before signing as match officials can sometimes make an error in completing the score.

2.4.4.   Match Ball

i.              t is the responsibility of the home side to provide the “Match Ball” for the game.

ii.              All Team Managers should be supplied with two Match Balls. One Match Ball is to be kept as a spare, in the event that the original Match Ball be lost or damaged. However, both Match Balls are to be on the field whilst the game is in progress.

2.4.5.   Match officials

The following shall only apply to junior teams under 11 and above:

i.              FFV/BASL aims for all junior matches are to be allocated match officials. However, there is no guarantee that a match official will attend every match.

ii.              In the event that an appointed match official fails to attend it is the Team Manager’s

responsibility to appoint a match official for the match. The Team Manager should, if possible, at the beginning of the season, ask parents or other club members for a commitment in performing match official duties if a match official fails to attend.

  1. In addition, each team will need to allocate an assistant match official for the game.

 

All match officials supply their own linesmen flags; however in the event that the appointed match official does not bring his own flags, the home side is responsible for providing the flags. . Also it may be wise to have access to a whistle, in the event that the appointed match official fails to attend.

2.4.6.   Notifying the Club of Match Results
