Pre-season training starts Mon 7th Jan 2019 and ends Fri 15-Mar 2019. After that date we use the in-season training timetable.
Grounds
NOTE: Mackie Road isn’t available during pre-season.
Spaces (Pre-Season)
If your team isn’t listed, the coach should request a space (see next section ‘Times’).
NOTE: Unsecured space means other groups (cricket, footy) have the official allocation and have right to ask you to move away. However they rarely use it. Therefore this is a way of getting more space as long as you remain flexible about moving sometimes and you can’t say “no way mate, we’ve been here for 6 weeks”
Times (Pre-Season)
Coaches can use this table to find vacant spaces and send a request to the club to book it. Note: The ‘Age’ column and size of spaces is a guide only. All requests will be considered.
Coaches please make an appointment to be issued with your Team Equipment. Appointments are available from 5pm on Wed 23rd January 2019. Allow 20 mins for the collection process.

Switching the Lights On
If you need to switch the grounds lights on, call or text the club for the instructions.
Switching the Lights Off
The last team to leave the pitches near the clubhouses must switch off the lights for Lord 1 and Lord 2. Call or text the club for the instructions. .
The last team to leave pitch 3 (behind the primary school) must switch off the lights for Lord 3. Call or text the club for the instructions.
Click image. 9:15pm: Not switching the lights off wastes electricity and generates complaints from the neighbours.
Training and Teamstuff
Team Managers can load their team training sessions into Teamstuff. It you set them up as a recurring event, just be aware that once they are all created, there is no way to go back and edit them as a series. In others words they become a bunch of unrelated trainings which can only be edited individually. Training sessions have a built-in attendance tracker. Up to you whether you want to use it or not.
