The club is run entirely on the backbone of volunteers and without the help of people like our Coaches and Managers, the Club simply does not function.

Coaches and Managers are normally parents from your child’s team who have volunteered their services to fulfill these very important roles. Very simply, without a Coach and / or Manager, your child will not have a team to play with.

You will be contacted by your Coach or Manager at the beginning of the season who will introduce themselves and let you know about training and how everything will work. Different teams may have slightly different systems depending on the Coach and Managers time and availability.

It’s important to reiterate that your Coach and Manager have voluntarily taken on these roles so that not only their children can play soccer but also YOUR children can play and have fun. It is only fair to treat them with the utmost courtesy and respect they deserve.

If ever you have any questions or problems, your Coach or Manager should always be your first port of call and if they’re not sure, they will contact the Club’s Committee on your behalf.

If you’d like to become a Coach or Manager please don’t hesitate to contact the Club’s Registrar or President.

Please Note: The appointment of all Coaches and Managers remains at the discretion of the Club’s Executive Committee.

If there’s one thing that’s completely out of our control, it’s Mother Nature!

In the case of bad weather on training nights or on game days, the best person to contact is always your Coach or Manager.

They will have been notified by the Club as to whether Charles Pirie has been closed, and they will have the tools available to find out if other parks have been closed on weekends.

Please DO NOT call SGFA or the Club’s Committee members, only contact your Coach or Manager.

The club is run entirely on volunteers and without the help of people like you, the Club simply will not function.

The best way to get involved in the behind the scenes workings of the Club is simply by attending our monthly meetings. Generally they are held on the first Monday night of each month at a local hotel.

All Coaches and Managers are notified (via email) as to where and when each meeting will take place and in turn they should forward this information on to you.

You’re more than welcome to come and we’d love to see you there!

We try to keep all the younger children (and Parents) happy by placing the children in teams where they will know other children, however, this is not always possible.

Please bear in mind that if your child ends up in a team where they will have the opportunity to make new friends – THIS IS A GOOD THING – It broadens the child’s horizons and helps them interact and develop new friendships.

For the older players – If you would like to bring a group of friends and register a complete team, you will need to contact the Club Registrar or President first, as there are a few stipulations that you will need to be made aware of.

All teams train on week days, at Charles Pirie reserve, after school or business hours.

For the younger players, the actual day and time of training will depend on the Coach’s availability. All our Coaches and Managers are made up from our Wonderful Parents who volunteer their time, so whenever your particular coach is available to have training, is when your team will train. You will be notified by your Coach or Manager as to what day and time your training will be. If you are interested in becoming a Coach or Manager, please contact the Committee.

Coaches and Managers along with our senior teams will need to contact our Administration Officer in order to book a weekly spot at Charles Pirie for training.

YES… of course you can!

The club is run entirely on volunteers and without the help of people like you, the Club simply will not function.

You’re welcome to Coach or Manage your child’s team as long as nobody else has put their hand up before you.

Coaching: We have a Coaching Director who is always willing to help you out should you need it and the internet has a wealth of information available when it comes to coaching and training drills.

Managing: The role of a Manager is simply the conduit of communication between the Club and the team. Basically, anything to do with the team ‘Off the field’ is the Manager’s responsibility. There’s really nothing to it!

If you’d like to become a Coach or Manager please don’t hesitate to contact the Club’s Registrar or President.

Please Note: The appointment of all Coaches and Managers remains at the discretion of the Club’s Executive Committee.

We understand that sometimes children get sick or something comes up that’s prevents you from attending training or a game.

Once again, you should always contact your Coach or Manager to let them know as early as possible.

Coaches and Managers often take the time to plan and organise game plays, training drills, positions, etc. and if you can’t make it to a training session or a game without letting them know, that can throw a big spanner in the organisation of the team and make their job so much harder.

PLEASE… don’t leave it until the last minute to let them know, contact them asap to give them as much notice as possible.

After all… It’s just common courtesy anyway!
