✍️ Match Sheet Tips and Tricks for Coaches and Managers
Please make sure you fill in your match sheet every week! The club receives a fine for each element on the match sheet not filled in correctly!
The name of the coach, manager and nominated ground control person must be filled in prior to the start of each match. Competition teams are also required to fill in player shirt numbers however this can be pre-filled using the MyComp App. After your match finishes, the coach or manager must then check the score has been entered correctly by the referee and sign off at the bottom of the sheet. If you’re not sure about some details, please ask a Committee Member.

Match Sheet Tips and Tricks📋 Miniroos Coaching Certificate
The MiniRoos certificate is a 3-hour course and the perfect way to get up to speed with best practice for coaching MiniRoos footballers. Coaches will learn practical coaching skills, get a refresher on MiniRoo-specific rules and be shown how to engage kids with fun games and activities that will help them develop fundamental movement skills and fall in love with the game of football.
The SSFA are offering to run a certified Miniroos Coaching course for the Bangor FC coaches. Please register your interest with our Technical Director Matt (technical.director@bangorbrumbies.org.au) so that we can gauge numbers.

Finally, we would like to remind our members that Bangor FC is a volunteer run club. Our committee members volunteer their time to keep our club up and running, balancing their roles with full-time work and other commitments. This is not always easy and we would love some new members to join our committee to help lighten the load.
If you would like a bigger say in how your club is run or can spare a few hours here and there to help out, please contact our Secretary Kirsten (secretary@bangorbrumbies.org.au) or speak with one of our committee members over the weekend!
Run with the Brumbies!
