The Team Manager Role
The team manager is the Number 1 contact person for the team, responsible for communicating all information between the club and team players and families. It's a crucial and rewarding volunteer role.
Stay Up to Date
Make sure you are up to date with the current Information Sheets before the season begins and throughout the year. Monitor emails for information and game day updates.
Match Cards
Match cards are available via your draw page on the QCSA website from Thursday before your game, for teams U9 and older.
- Click which players will be playing and their shirt number
- Sign where indicated and co-sign the opposition team card
- On the opposition match card, answer questions where required and deliver to the referee before the game starts
- It is important that match cards are completed correctly - the club will be fined per card for incorrectly completed cards
- Keep a copy of the Team ID sheet to show the opposition manager at the start of the game
Entering Results
Results need to be entered into MyClubMate after each game. Please have results entered by 5pm on game day. Teams with a kick-off later than 5pm should enter results as soon as the game is complete. Always confirm that your result matches the referee's record.

Uniforms
All players must wear the correct uniform including club shorts, team jersey, club socks, shin pads and studded shoes/boots.
Away jerseys: If your team is playing at home and there is a clash with the opposition jersey colour (predominantly red), it is the manager's responsibility to organise the alternative (away) strip. Away strips are white. Contact the equipment officer at equipment@stcats.org.au to arrange collection. Jerseys must be washed and returned to the equipment officer the following Wednesday for the next team. Check opposition colours on the QCSA draw.
Field Addresses
Field addresses can be confirmed on the QCSA Grounds page.
Referees
U9 and above: Referees are supplied for all games. Occasionally a referee may request a spectator to act as linesperson, though this is not common.
U6 to U8: Referees for junior games are provided by each team. The best approach is to roster parents unless there is someone willing to ref each week.
Team Responsibilities
- Fruit/Jerseys: Most teams share the responsibility of supplying fruit and washing jerseys by rostering parents in turn.
- Field Setup: Ensure all team members are aware of your field setup day, as this covers your Parent Participation Levy for the year.
- Communication: Keep up to date via Facebook and the website. The club has both a public and a closed Facebook page - request to join the closed page for team updates.
