1 RC Managers Manual

Half Time
Half time interval shall be at variable minute’s duration, but shall not exceed fifteen minutes.
Man of the Match Awards
Some Managers like to award a “Man of the Match” at each game, Managers should ensure the
award is spread equally around the team each week during the season. Managers may want to
change this award to Parents Man of the Match and nominate a parent each week to award the
trophy, this usually takes the pressure off the Manager, allows the Manager to concentrate and
focus on the game and avoids parents perception of any bias towards any player.
This often matters more to the children than the result so can be used to reward children who
worked well in training or did what they were asked to do in a game.
Goal Scorer Rewards
Generally parents (and some Managers) will want to reward their players for scoring
goals, Managers should discourage this type of reward as this potentially encourages
selfishness and the attitude that the goal scorer is more important than teamwork,
defending, making an important tackle or pass or goalkeeping.
Match Report Forms (MRF)
A MRF is to be completed and submitted to the TFJFL Representative within the prescribed
timeline set within the league rules.
MRF’s are to be completed in black ink and all in capitals, it is the home teams’ responsibility to
raise and send to the report in. Both teams complete the form listing players who have took part
in the match, results and any comments. The referee is to also compete a section marking teams
on respect scores.
Match Complaints / Incidents
Should a RCJFC Manager feel the need to make a formal complaint or record an incident against
either the Ref or the opposing team or the opposing team have notified the team a complaint is
to be levied, then in addition to the relevant sections completed on the MRF a RCJFC Match
Incident Form is to be completed by the Team Manager and any other witnesses asap after the
incident (The Team Manager should have spare Incident Forms as part of their Match Day pack to
hand to witnesses immediately after the incident).
The RCJFC Welfare Officer, Club Chairman and Secretary are to be informed of the incident /
complaint asap after the Match. The incident form is to be submitted with any other witness
statements or evidence to the RCJFC Welfare Officer.
Depending upon the severity of the complaint / incident, resolution shall be endeavoured to be
resolved between the two clubs or if required escalated and reported to TYJFL.
