For Coaches & Volunteers
•
Act as strong role models
•
Place well-being, safety and
enjoyment above everything
•
Promote fair play and high
standards of behaviour
•
Adhere to the laws and spirit of
the game
•
Ensure all activities are
appropriate for players ability/age
Poor Behaviour policy – 4 step approach
In order to ensure the smooth running of the sessions, we may at times need to deal with disruptive behaviour. Our coaches are briefed on a process
which we feel is fair and should be consistently applied across the groups:
Step 1 :
Child taken to one side by the coach – spoken to 1 on 1 about the behaviour causing an issue and told that the next time will mean sitting out
Step 2 :
Child is asked to sit out – with the coach explaining this is what was made clear as the consequence in step 1
Step 3 :
If after returning to the field the child continues with the disruptive behaviour, the coach will take the child to parent/guardian to ask for support
Step 4 :
If this doesn’t resolve the behaviour then the parent will be asked to take the child home

Our club is run entirely by volunteers
– from the coaches, the committee and the sign in desk.
We rely on parents and guardians to continue to step forward to offer whatever time they can spare either as a committee member or as a casual
contributor from time to time.
If you are able to help, please email
rofcjuniors@gmail.com
or talk to any one of the committee members, coaches or the team at the sign in desk.
Coaches
•
Our coaches generally start as helpers, where no experience or qualifications are necessary
•
Many go on to become FA Level 1 qualified coaches – which the club funds
•
We aim to ensure each group has a minimum of one FA qualified coach to lead the sessions
•
It’s extremely rewarding for the coaches and the children, so please step forward to offer your assistance by talking to any of the coaches on a
Saturday morning
Events & Charity
Each year we aim to raise money for a local charity whilst creating fun activities for the kids to look forward to.
These include annual fun days, participating in the local carnival, supporting school fetes and a Christmas party in the village.
We are always looking for volunteers to help out with these activities – so please let us know if you can support

Children’s welfare is of critical importance for us:
We have an appointed Welfare Officer – for all concerns
All our coaches are DBS checked
In a clarification of policy -
A parent or guardian is required to stay
on site for the duration of the session
to support their child in the
event of injury or distress and to facilitate toilet trips.
If you have any concerns that you would prefer to take outside of
ROFC, then please contact the FA/NSPCC Child Helpline on 0808 800
5000.
Health & Safety
All kids to bring drinks and shinpads
No smoking on site
No Dogs on the SNA site
No boots with metal studs
No eating on the playing surface
No excessive heading practice in lines with recent FA guidelines
All our level 1 coaches have basic first aid training.
Please let us know if your child has any medical conditions that we
need to be aware and keep a record of e.g. if they have an epipen.
We encourage your children to respect players, coaches and
volunteers.
Please support the coaches by encouraging children to listen ahead
of each session.
