Please put your name down for Rota Duty
Please sign up for Rota Duty on TeamApp.
If you are unable to cover the rota session please contact us via TeamApp so an alternative can be organised - even if it's last minute.
Rota duty person is no longer required to maintain the register as the club coach is now responsible for this. We do however need assistance with access to the hall as the door can sometimes be locked. If the rota duty person could check the rear door approx 5-10 mins before next group is due and let the kids in, this would be appreciated.
