Training Schedules - Managers and coaches are asked to adhere to the time slots for training sessions.

Underage players should not be arriving at, or leaving on sessions on their own unless you have given notice the club using this form.

Coach Training - Tobar contains learning resources for coaches at all levels and experience. Those working with underage players must have vetting and safeguarding 1 as minimum qualifications.  Team activities may be suspended if qualifications are not valid.

Links for Players & Parents

Players, at all levels should use time outside of training to improve their skills.  Training slots are used to master the skills and game time is where the skills are put into action.  It is important that players have regular attendance at training sessions. 

Underage Player Improvement - Parents should encourage players to work on movement and skills outside of training times. The resources under the Schools section in Tobar can be a useful source of information for parents.
