Coaches
The Head Coach is ultimately responsible for:
- Ensuring players and Team Staff members represent Woolwich to other communities in a respectful and appropriate manner.
- Keeping parents/adult players informed. This communication may be accomplished by email, texts, newsletters and meetings. The Head Coach and Manager may work together to divide these responsibilities as they wish.
All coaches must:
- Coach with the idea of teaching skills, fair play and good sportsmanship.
- Teach the players to play fair and to respect the rules, officials and opponents.
- Ensure all players get equal instruction and support time.
- Ensure all players are played fairly and equally.
- Foster an environment of regular and effective communication with the parents and/or adult players.
- Pick their teams to create fairness in numbers and applicable skill sets between teams. The Executive maintains the right to move players from one division to another to create teams for as many girls as possible.
- Provide to the players and parents an outline of their expectations for the season prior to the selection of any Rep team and at the start of the season for all Local League teams.
- Support the decisions of the Board of Directors and question their decisions privately; the same will be expected of the Board of Directors in dealing with coaching issues.
- Ensure only players rostered with the team, or called as a valid pick-up player, play in any games.
- Ensure all league rules, regulations and policies are adhered to for the league in which your team is playing.
