Preparations have already begun for the 2014 Season ...
Registrations: Please refer to the new 2014 Registration Policy that clarifies the process.
Coaches & Team Managers: Will be appointed early to allow structured preseason for all players. The Club has declared all coaching positions vacant for next year and requires formal applications for all positions. Please refer to this article for more details.
Team Volunteers: Teams require many volunteers to be able to function. Key roles are the Coach, the Team Manager and the Trainers. These are all important and involved roles and get plenty of support from our Club.
Coach: Responsible for recruiting other volunteers such as Assistant Coach or Coaches, a Runner and a Statistician.
Team Manager: Organises a roster for all other roles such as boundary and goal umpires, water carriers, umpire escorts, timekeeper, interchange steward and for home games, the canteen.
Trainers: This is another individual team role which is vital for the wellbeing of our players. We recommend at least one per team in the younger age groups, then two from under 12s onwards. Anybody over 18 can do the job. The club will pay for the EFL Course which gives you all the relevant training.
Jets Committee: Without a Committee of Management, the teams cannot function as a club and this committee needs your full support. There are a good many club members that cannot commit to a team role due to shiftwork, unusual work hours etc but can contribute at club level. We are only short term custodians and only want the children to enjoy their football.

- President: Oversees the running of the club, liaises with all Committee Members, co-signs cheques, runs meetings.
