Please contact us – we can help resolve problems

You can find answers to the usual questions about football related matters like registration, grading dates, match details, team duties, playing rules, etc elsewhere on this website or from your team manager, team coach or club Age Coordinator.  

This page is intended to help you when dealing with other problems that are more difficult to resolve.

Many problems can be resolved by first discussing the matter with your team’s manager or coach.  If you feel uncomfortable doing that for any reason, or if you just feel that you need more help, then it’s a good idea to talk to us to see what we can do. 

Below are the people who can help – their names, phone numbers and emails are in Club Contacts. 

Contact your Age Coordinator for …  

• Questions or concerns about the way that the club is run   
• Issues affecting some or all of your team that you don’t know how to deal with
• Issues relating to safety or behaviour that you think should be brought to our attention
• Problems affecting just you or your child that you need help from outside the team to deal with – such as personal conflicts, concerns about fair game time, special consideration
