PARENTS AND COACHES Parents and Coaches involved in House League Divisions U7 and older are  asked to adhere to the Club rule that states that all parents are to sit on the opposite side of the field from the Coach and the player substitutes. We also ask that Coaches stay on one side of the centre line during the game. Ideally, we ask that Coaches create a  'players' bench. Players should be instructed to bring their beverage to the 'players' bench to avoid running to parents or  having parents come to the opposite side of the field during the game.
On July 4th a 'special' referee clinic will be held for coaches, parents and volunteers by our Head Referee. This will be an open session to answer questions about the Laws of the Game, some simple examples of "tooting", and what happens when you are called upon to help includes a whistle!
