Coaching

Coaching a team is very rewarding both for students and parents, as it offers an opportunity to positively influence the students whilst getting to know your child’s friends in a fun and engaging atmosphere.

WINTER SPORTS  (T2 & 3) – A parent who can offer to coach a team and run training sessions for a season (two terms) will be offered a $50 reduction off one of their child’s sports fees. This is for certain teams/sports. e.g. A games day coach who does not do a separate training for the team does not qualify. If there is more than one coach the $50 will be halved or one coach selected by the TIC/Sports Dept on the experience/suitability/reliability and/or philosophy of the coach.

SUMMER SPORTS (1 term) – A parent who can offer to coach a team and run training sessions for a full summer season  will be offered a $25 reduction off one of their child’s sports fees. This is for certain teams/sports. e.g. A games day coach who does not do a separate training for the team does not qualify. If there is more than one coach the $25 will be halved or one coach selected by the TIC/Sports Dept on the experience/suitability/reliability and/or philosophy of the coach.

If you would like any clarification about a particular sporting code or team please email the sports dept. 

All Coaches and Managers are required to be Police vetted.

Managing

The Manager’s role is a simple but invaluable one. Managers are mainly responsible for sending out a weekly e-mail to inform the team of times and venues of games that week and to remind the team to bring the necessary gear (e.g. drink bottles, shin guards, etc). The sports department will provide you with the necessary contact details and the TIC will let you know where to find game information (times, maps, etc).

The Manager also gathers nominations for their team for sports prize giving towards the end of the season and forwards them to the sports department. Details on how to do this are sent out closer to the time.
