What do I need to know about coaches and training

Once all player registrations are in, teams are formed and volunteer Coaches and Managers are assigned.

The Manager will then contact the team and set a time on a weekday afternoon at a local park for just over an hour. It is generally set on a day that suits the coach who has volunteered their time.

Teams are expected to source their coach from the parent group. If this is not achievable, parents are required to find a coach from another source, such as a local high school or university student or a cricketer in the area. Sometimes the club can help source an old Pirates Player (now 15-18 years old) who may be willing to coach juniors (for a fee paid by the parents to the coach).
