Firstly thank you to all our coaches and managers for volunteering to assist get everyone back playing football.
A couple of items please:-

Fruit & Drink Bottles:
There is to be no sharing of fruit or drink bottles at any time. All players must bring a clearly labelled drink bottle to every game and training session.
Attendance Registers:
Attendance registers must be kept at all training sessions and games both home and away. Click link here to download a print a paper copy that can be completed and this needs to be emailed to our Covid Officer via the email address located on the form. There is an online method that can be used so please contact us if you would prefer to use this method. All information collected for COVID-19 contact tracing purposes will only be provided to Queensland Health if the need arises.
COVID-19 Requirements:
QLD Government & Football QLD Return to Play Guidelines must be adhered to at all times. Please ensure you are familiar with these requirements. No parents or spectators are to enter the Field of Play. Field 6 will require all parents / spectators to stay outside the fence, the cricket pitch is to have no parents / spectators inside the white picket fence. Field 4 all parents and spectators are to also stay outside the fence lines to watch games. This can be a little difficult if there is a game on Field 2 so a little common sense will be required. All parents / spectators must sign in using the QR Code or manual sign in sheets and respect social distance requirements of 1.5m minimum between family groups at all times. If you notice this not happening and feel comfortable in asking them to do so, it would be greatly appreciated. If you have any issues regarding COVID compliance from any clubs or parents / spectators please let us know ASAP. Signing in registers / attendance registers and socially distancing will be here for some time.
Kits:
All players from U8 up should have a numbered Yellow & Green jersey. Typically the players will wear green shorts, yellow jersey and yellow socks. Players are required to bring the green numbered jersey with them to games in the event of clash of colours and are required to change. These green jerseys can also be worn to training however no yellow jerseys are to be worn other than game day.
Access to Team Lists:
You can login to Majestri (Rovers Webpage) and click on My Details and you should be able to see the team list with contact details of players in your team. You can also send emails from here to all your players. If you do not have access to this information please contact either football@rochedalerovers.com or secretary@rochedalerovers.com ASAP so we can help resolve for you.
Managers Facebook Group:
There is a Facebook Group set up for all team managers / coaches where the club will provide updates and information you may need to share with your team but you can also ask any questions here. The group is `Rochedale Rovers Managers 2020'. If you have no joined please do so ASAP so we can ensure everyone is getting the information for their teams.
Additional Merchandise:
Tracey has received plenty of requests for training jackets and polo's. She will be putting a request out for orders in the coming weeks where they can be ordered. She will do this on the Managers page, so please keep an eye out so you can let parents know when orders can be placed.
Team Facebook Groups:
It is also a good idea to set a Facebook group up for your individual teams to communicate with parents. This can anything from training or game information to wet weather announcements etc.
Volunteers:
Teams will be asked to provide volunteers on occasions and we ask managers to assist us with this coordinating with your team and our Volunteers Coordinator Amanda Hansen. If you have any parents wanting to help out please put them in touch as we always appreciate offers of help. We also have a Volunteers Facebook Group that anyone wanting to help out from time to time joins. It is called Rochedale Rovers FC Volunteers.
Wet Weather:
In the event of wet weather the club will make an announcement on our club facebook page and club webpage. Please check this before ringing. Most clubs use the same process so please check AWAY clubs facebook or webpage if you are not sure if a game is called off. We will do our best to notify coaches and managers of any wet weather cancellations as we are made aware of them.
