TEAM UNIFORMS

  • Player shirts are supplied by the Club 
  • Players must supply
    • Strathdale shorts and socks can be purchased at SportsPower.
    • Soccer boots and shin guards are compulsory.
    • Mouthguard is not compulsory, but recommended.

The supplied Strathdale Soccer Shirts are for use on game days only, they should not be worn at training. (The manager will hand these out to players at the start of the season & collect on the last match of the season.)

 

Field Setup - Goals:

Matches will in general be scheduled on the following fields

  • U6-U7 (all games are played at Epsom)
  • U8-U9 (all home games will be scheduled at Strathdale Park on Bell 1 or Bell 2
  • U10-U12 (all home games will be scheduled at Strathdale Park on Bell 3 or Mason  
  • U14-U16 (all home games will be scheduled at Strathdale Park on Beischer 1 or 2. 

If you are the first team playing your match on a field, and you are listed as home side (listed first on the draw) then it is your team’s responsibility to set up the field. U8-U12 use the small goals kept in the shed. U14-U16s will need to get the nets and flags from the shed and set them up.  A matchball can be obtained from the clubrooms.

If you are the last team playing your match on a field, and you are listed as home side (listed first on the draw) then it is your teams responsibility to pack away the field ensuring the goals / flags / cones and match ball are all returned to their storage places.

Note, you can be the only match on a field on a Saturday morning, and will therefore have to setup and pack away the field.

 

Clash Bibs (Strathdale vs Strathdale):

If two Strathdale teams are playing each other, then the away team (team listed second) will need to wear clash bibs. U6-U10s will wear training bibs. U12-U16 can obtain the clash bibs from the canteen and need to wash and return them before games start the following Saturday morning.

 

Match Results (U12–U16):

Match results are the responsibility of the Team Manager / Coach to enter into SportsTG by the end of Match Day.

At the start of the season when registering with the club as a coach or team manager, volunteers will need to go to the website link below and create an account. The email address registered will then be included as part of the coaching registration information.
