Marshfield Junior FC

Players will only be eligible to play for The Club in league and cup matches, and take part in training, when they have correctly completed a Club Application Form and an official league Registration Form, signed by a parent/carer and paid The Club’s annual registration fee. This is restricted to a maximum of 14 players for Under 7’s & 8’s, and 18 players for Under 9’s & 10’s.

Selection of players for league and cup matches is made through the objective consideration of ability, attitude, fitness level and commitment to training. A settled side is preferable and unfortunately only the appropriate number of players and substitutes can be selected for any match. The team manager’s selection shall be final and binding. Attendance at matches by squad members who have not been selected to play is encouraged in order to give the team vocal support and to promote team spirit amongst the whole squad.

Availability

If, after confirming availability for a forthcoming match, a player subsequently finds he/she is unable to play (e.g. injury or illness), he/she must contact the team manager AS SOON AS POSSIBLE so that a replacement can be notified at the earliest opportunity.

Training

Although it is recognised that players have other commitments such as homework, scouts, cubs, etc, the team managers appreciate it if players make every effort to attend team training sessions on a regular basis.

First Aiders

The Club endeavours to ensure that a qualified First Aider is present at all matches.

Child Protection

Marshfield Junior Football Club adheres to the Child Protection Procedures and Practices defined within the Football Association Handbook.

Club Meetings

There are regular club meetings during the year e.g. committee meetings, age group player, parent/carer meetings. There is also the AGM at which parent/carers should make every effort to attend. These meetings will be publicised through The Club’s regular Newsletters.

Parent/Carer Assistance

The Club is run by a willing and enthusiastic group of adult volunteers. Any help available from parent/carers, however small, is always greatly appreciated.

Complaints Procedure

In the event that any person involved with the club feels that he or she has suffered discrimination in any way, or that the Club Policies, Rules or Code of Conduct have been broken, they should report the matter in writing to the Club Secretary. If the complaint is pertinent to Child Protection, then the complaint should be addressed to the Club's Welfare Officer. This will then be dealt with by the Club's Complaints Committtee. Full details of the Complaints Procedure can be obtained from the Club Secretary.
