2. During the season:  
Check the SIFC website for wet weather updates and field closures.
 

 For training:  
*Bring a first aid kit, bibs, balls and witches hats.
*Plan the structure of your session on paper before each session.
*Encourage 100% player attendance and make training enjoyable and competitive.
*Encourage assistance by parents.  For the younger age groups, you need an assistant!
 

If more than one parent offers to coach, give it a go!  Work as a team!
   
For matches:  
*Check the NSFA website for last minute updates on games
*Bring your SIFC Sports Bag with your match ball, goalie shirt first aid kit and a whistle.
*Organise a roster for half/part games to ensure each player has equal time off the field. Frequent interchange is allowed up to and including U18s to ensure all players participate equally.
*Determine each player’s playing positions. During the season, players in the U6-U10 age groups may be rotated through all the playing positions including the goalkeeper’s position. For U11 & upwards, players will tend to settle into specific positions and this should be encouraged. Always maintain a balance between positional rotation and team performance
*Determine the game tactics.
