Canteen & Ground Duties

The club decided at the AGM that each team (or age group for SSG teams) would staff the canteen on Saturdays for the whole day, rather than trying to line up different teams with different time slots each week. This will be easier to manage and hand out the duties. Most teams will only do the Canteen two or three times throughout the year on the busiest days when the Hubs are at our ground. Friday night and Sunday morning Canteen duties will be carried out by the teams playing at that time.

Here’s the Saturday morning roster for the rest of the year

Round   DUTY TEAM               GAMES ON
13            U12                                U12, U10/5, U7 hub
14            U6                                  U10/5, U6hub
15            U12, U10/5                U12, U10/5
16            U7                                  U7hub, U10/3
17            U9                                 U9hub, U12, U10/3, U10/5
18             U6                                 U6hub
19             U10/3                          U10/3

What’s involved????

If there is an SSG Hub at home that age group is expected to set up the SSG fields (ie put up nets and corner posts on all SSG fields, garbage bin over the back, and near the light pole). Need to get to the ground at 7:30am

The first Comp team to play will set up the main field (ie put up nets and corner posts on the main field, garbage bin on West side). Need to get to ground by 7:45am.

The Duty team, or age group, will be responsible for:

Staffing the canteen from 7:30am

Staffing the BBQ from 8:00am

Providing a Chief Ground Marshal from 7:30am

CANTEEN

  • Turn on the zip boil and pie oven ASAP
  • Check and fill up stocks of drinks and lollies, put pies & sausage rolls in the pie oven
  • Check and restock “consumables” in the toilets
  • Check the float. Keep a record on teh canteen takings sheet.
  • Start serving. Generally two people are required once things get started, but only 1 to set up.
  • If you need to send someone out to buy something the money in the till can be used but the Reciept MUST BE kept and put in the till.
  • At the end of the morning clean up and count the till. Fill in the canteen takings sheet.
  • Refill stocks for the next lucky people. Fill in the note book if anything needs to be purchased, or notes for Kerrie
  • Empty bin into the Theiss bin
  • TURN OFF THE PIE OVEN

BBQ

  • We will only run the BBQ on SSG hub days. We sell plenty of B&E Rolls and Sausage sambos. Normally only one person is required.
  • Set up teh Gazebo if it might be wet, or sunny. It’s in the Container.
  • Check the gas at the start of the day. Run up to the Servo for a gas bottle change over if required. Use the cash from the till but BRING BACK THE RECIEPT

GROUND MARSHALL

  • The team playing at the time needs to provide a ground marshal (someone wearing a vest) for that game. On the main field there should be 2 people inside the fenced area patrolling the perimiter. There should also be a vest amonst the SSG fields.
  • The following is an extract from the FSC By-Laws

    • 1.12 GROUND MARSHALL
    1.12.1 It is the Home Teams’ responsibility to appoint a Ground Marshall. He/She must wear the Official Fluro coloured vest and be generally in charge of the affairs of the ground. It is the responsibility of the visiting team to report any problems they may have (other than the referee) to the Ground Marshall.
    1.12.2 The Ground Marshall shall be over the age of 18 Years and shall not be a Coach or Manager of a game in progress.
    1.12.3 The Ground Marshall shall circulate around the ground(s) to ensure that he/she is apparent to all present.
    1.12.4 When Competition games of U/15 and above are played, two ground marshals shall patrol the playing fields, inside the fence line on both sides of the ground and where unfenced they patrol either sideline of the ground.
    1.12.5 All persons at the ground will abide by any requests made by the Ground Marshall.
    1.12.6 In the event of a dispute, improper conduct, or foul & abusive language by any persons at the ground, then any requests made by the Ground Marshall shall be final and complied with immediately.
    1.12.7 Reports of misconduct found by the Ground Marshall shall be in writing in the appropriate Incident Report Book to the Association and shall be actioned by the Board within 7 days of the incident.
    1.12.8 All clubs will ensure that their Club Officials and members are made fully aware of the jurisdiction of the Ground Marshall and that his/her request be complied with.
    1.12.9 Reports of improper behaviour by a Ground Marshall shall be made in writing in the appropriate Incident Report Book to the Association and shall be actioned by the Board within 7 days of the reported incident.

CHIEF GROUND MARSHAL

  • At Russell Vale this means……
  • The Chief Ground Marshal is posted near the canteen at the sign in area. They need to understand the draw and the field locations. Need to know where to point people when they turn up and don’t know where to go 2 mins before kick off. it’s when most of the SSG players actually turn up.
  • TEAM Sheets are kept in the canteen. The ones for SSG are differen to the Comp teams.
  • Check the team sheets are filled in AND SIGNED OFF. Clubs get fined when team sheets are submitted so we should help out all clubs (even Balgownie) and save them a bit of money.
  • About 10 mins before the Comp game kicks off get the teams to assemble at the signoff table. Invite both managers to witness the card check for both teams. Check each player has a card, matches the photo, and matches the shirt number. This is very important if there is a send off, or an incident.
  • Speaking of incidents it is also imperative that the Chief Ground Marshal knows what to do if a complaint is made. There is an incident book in teh canteen. This must be filled in and notify a Committe member. This is a really useful tool to settle down an awkward situation. if anyone comes to you with a complaint, get them to write it down and get it off their chest. Also follow up to make sure everyone is OK, and if there are two parties involved invite the second party to put their side of the story in another incident report. Again, get a Committee member to help out. This is often enough to diffuse a heated situation.
  • If you need them there is a copy of the FSC by Laws in the Canteen
    Link to FSC Junior Council By -Laws
  • If the Referee, or more liekly linesman, don’t turn up then you need to arrange them. Give the Away team to option to fill the vacancy first, then the home team second.
  • PAY THE REFEREES. There is a sheet in the canteen with the fees for various age groups. Fill in the recipet book, and place a copy in the canteen takings so Mr Moneybags can keep a track of the $$$.
  • Keep the originals of the Team Sheets and put with the till. He doesn’t know it yet but Dave Hughes will take them to the FSC offices for us.

AT THE END OF THE MORNING

  • SSG team to take down the SSG goals and bring the bins back (MT in the big bin)
  • Comp Team to take down the nest (check if the mens are playing in the arvo, OK to leave them up then). Empty the garbage bin
  • Duty team to clean up the canteen and give the sheds a sweep out.
  • Count the Canteen takings, make a note of how much is there, and forward the money to a Committee member for the Treasurer to collect.
