Purpose of the Meeting

There will be a meeting of all senior team members at 8:30 p.m., Friday June 29th in the Avenue Hotel.

Anybody interested in helping the seniors in any capacity is invited to attend.

The meeting will discuss the appointment of a Club Captain and the coaching set-up for the coming season. The idea is to split the work into smaller roles so that no one person is left with all the responsibility. So, instead of having a single coach who attends all away matches, this responsibility could be rotated across a number of coaches meaning one away trip every 4 or more weeks. 

Ideal Setup

We would ideally have a Senior Manager aided by one or more assistant manager(s). Quite apart from coaching, the management team has a lot to do: drop off and pick up jerseys from the cleaners, communicate with players, organise trips, check pitches, analyse opposition, arrange for matches to be videoed, do video analysis, organise live-tweeting, arrange for first aid, take photos, send match reports to the PRO, recruit players.

We would then ideally have a team of coaches (head coach, backs coach, forwards coach, fitness coach, skills coach….). Not all these coaches would be at each session or indeed at matches so the work-load would be shared.
