Supporting our Teams
Gordon FC’s ongoing success is reliant on the support of community volunteers. We need coaches and managers for each team drawn from volunteer parents. In U6 to U11 we need parent Game Leaders for each game. Many perks come with these jobs including being closest to the game action, demonstrating our club values, seeing the players have fun and opportunities to enhance your skills (eg through coaching courses).
All coaches and managers receive a GFC polo and puffer jacket
Registration
Every coach and manager needs to register (for free) in PlayFootball
Note that coaches and mangers of teams U18 and younger will need a Working With Children Check - so please start process if you do not have one.
Important Info for Coaches & Managers 2025:
All Coaches and Managers:
GFC Code of Conduct - By agreeing to take on the role of coach or manager, you automatically agree to abide by the Code of Conduct. Be sure to read through the document.
Note that as of end March 2025, rounds 1-7 for Senior Competitions, rounds 1-5 for Junior Competitions and rounds 1-5 for MiniRoos have been published. There will be a regrade for MiniRoos competitions after every five (5) rounds. Rounds 6-10 will be published on completion of Round 5. Please download and check Dribl for upcoming fixtures.
Miniroos team coaches and managers (U6 to U11):
Dribl - for the miniroos age groups coaches and managers won't see the players names on the match sheet, this is only a requirement for the U12s and up. Instead, you should be able to see Contacts (opposition coach and manager) and the Score. Enter the score at end of each match after agreeing with opposition team.
Junior and Senior team coaches and managers:
Competition Football Regulations 2025 (U12 and up)
Paper match sheet (U12+) (to use if Dribl is down or you don’t have the correct access)
In Dribl, please ensure player jersey numbers are correct in the days leading up to the game. Don’t leave this to the last minute.
Again in Dribl, ensure each player has a photo. You can add one if they don’t.
In Dribl, submit your team’s match sheet before each game. And confirm the opposition team’s submission of their match sheet. How to videos (note you do not need to allocate team captain, goal keeper or starting line up): https://nsfa.asn.au/competitions/electronic-match-cards/
