10. Conduct Co-ordinator During the season the football club has various FA, Durham FA and TJFA rules and regulations to maintain throughout the season. As we are all aware the laws of the game dictate the boundary's we must keep within. On occasions through the season these rules get broken and as a club we have to maintain a discipline and this coincides with the club ‘Code of Conduct’ for parents players and coaches. We must provide the parents, players and coaches with these codes and make sure we are kept up to date. During the football season there are many fines and charges imposed onto the club and we have to keep a track of the suspensions and restriction to our club. The way we do this is by a fine tracker that runs within the team itemised accounts. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE COACHES TO ENSURE THE FINES ARE PAID ON TIME AND THE ‘CODES OF CONDUCT’ ARE STRICKTLY FOLLOWED.

11. Pitch Co-ordinator Over the season we have a number of fixtures that get changed either through teams playing in cup games, the unstable British Weather, cancellations and various other reasons for games being called off. As we are limited to how we provide teams the pitches to play on, we must stick to a pitch matrix that helps track teams and ensures we don’t clash with kick off times and fixtures. The co-ordination of these games is planned through the season and this has to be scheduled and displayed so that teams can arrange the kick off times and referee’s to run the games.
