What
do I do if I think any player or young person is not getting a fair go
in a team?
1)
Discuss the issue with the responsible Coach or Manager.
Note:
- It is strongly recommended that you do not attempt to do this before
or after a match or prior to training. At these times the Coach and or
Manager are likely to be extremely busy and probably unable to give your
issue the attention it needs. Make an arrangement to talk to them at
some other mutually agreeable time.
2)
If you are not able to deal directly with the coach or Manager or
are dissatisfied with the outcome, your next option is to discuss the
issue with the Coaching Coordinator.
3)
If the Coaching Coordinator is unavailable, make a written
complaint to the BMSC Secretary who will bring the matter to the
attention of the full Committee at the next scheduled Meeting.
What
happens if a player receives a Red Card in a game?
Firstly,
it is the responsibility of the BMSC team Manager to take the players ID
card to the referee either at half time or at the end of the game. If
you wish to appeal the send off you must notify the BMSC Competition
Secretary ASAP.
Generally,
the player will receive an automatic one-match suspension and will not
need to attend a meeting of the NDSFA P&D.
Wet
weather cancellations?
If
the NDSFA or another Club cancels either a game, the BMSC Competition
Secretary will advise your Team Manager who in turn will advise you.
If
in doubt, call your coach or Manager.
Note:
- It is strongly recommended that each team makes specific arrangements
for general matters like these at the start of the season.
Games can be called off due to wet weather in
the following ways:
The
NDSFA Competition Secretary will call all
games off if Councils in the NDSFA area ‘close their’ grounds. Note,
arrangements such these should be discussed / agreed at a team meeting
at the start of the season.
The
NDSFA Competition Secretary will call games off scheduled to take place
on grounds closed by individual Councils in the NDSFA area. . In these
circumstances, the BMSC Competition Secretary will advise the
affected BMSC team Managers of the cancellation. The Team Manager
will advise the team members. Again, if in doubt, ring your Team Manager
Individual
clubs will close their grounds. In these circumstances, either the other
Club Competition Secretary or the NDSFA Competition Secretary will
advise the BMSC Secretary who will advise the affected BMSC teams.
Note – These
cancellations can occur ‘at the last minute’ there have been
occasions where teams have travelled to games only to find that the
grounds have been closed. Every effort is made to avoid this, but it
does happen.
