The Dodges Ferry Junior Soccer Club is managed by a volunteer committee. All coaches and team managers are volunteers. Without people willing to volunteer their time we could not provide our kids with the opportunity to experience soccer and the thrill of playing on a team.
Main tasks:
1. Provide a friendly mentoring role for your team that fosters a love of sport and a team ethic.
2. Appoint a team manager for your team and support them as required.
3. Organise and provide one coaching session per week.
4. Maintain the bag of training balls and equipment and ensure it is available at each training session.
5. Ensure that all players and skill levels are provided for during training.
6. Endeavour to develop more advanced training skills as required. More important for older age groups.
7. Support the team on match day and share umpiring of matches with the coach of the other team.
8. Work with the team manager to ensure that players and parents are notified of changes to training and match times or any cancellations.
9. Agree to work within the parameters of Football Federation Tasmania and Eastern Region Junior Soccer Association’s policies, procedures and insurance requirements.
Minimum time allocation:
Attendance at training and matches – 2 hrs per week

What will you get out of this?
