DURING THE GAME

​

While the game is under way, you should mostly be monitoring that everything is running smoothly:
 

• Monitor behaviour of your parent group, players, match & team officials and act if needed. Abuse and bad language directed at players, Umpires, officials or other parents needs to be addressed.
   

• Keep a record of goal scorers (or ask a parent to do this).
   

• Ensure your Team officials adhere to league By-Laws:
   

  • The only Team Officials allowed in the Team Bench area are:
     

    • Coach / Assistant Coach

    • Trainer

    • Runner
       

  • Runner must not remain on the ground – he/she is allowed to deliver 2 messages to players then must leave the ground.
     

  • Water Carrier can only deliver water to players behind play while a player from either side is having a shot for goal or the ball is being retrieved after a goal has been scored.
     

  • For more details on roles, please see the back section of the SMJFL Handbook.
