Important information:
How can you support your child?
By coaching, managing, transporting them to and from practices and games, taking your turn on the weekly score bench duty, and supporting them from the sideline. Coaches are always required.
Can you assist? Do you know of anyone that may be able to help? The Assn. provides support in the way of mentoring and materials.
Please read the Friday night Rules and ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY once they are provided.


Responsibilities: For each team entered, we must supply a coach, manager, and a weekly score bench operator.
Referees and floor controllers are employed by the Assn., but each team must contribute a responsible adult to the score bench for their game. Managers are to organise a roster so all parents get involved – we will support you!
The jobs are easily learned and will help you to gain more understanding of the game and be more involved with your child. More details will be given after registration is completed.
