Harrison Field Set-up

Each Saturday our Property Manager and his team arrive at dawn to deliver the equipment across all corners of Harrison Fields in readiness for field set-up for each age group. They set up the cones for our Mini Roos 5s-7s age groups.

As a community sporting club we rely heavily on our members to assist with getting the grounds reconfigured as we move through the age groups.

Our Mini Roos have tiny fields, with our 8s-9s and then our 10s-11s moving into larger fields, finishing with our 12-18s who move to the full sized soccer pitch.

TRAINING ALLOCATIONS

Ground Allocations document for training is shared with coaches to help them organise their team training sessions.

A lot of work goes into ground allocations as you can imagine. With around 1600 players again this year that’s a lot of players/teams to find training spaces for. A system has been in place for the past couple of years which has worked well from both a budget point of view, as well as to better project manage/streamline standard training time slots from younger to older players.

We share this here for you to view, but it’s important to note that it is your coach and the coach coordinators who ultimately make the decision on when your team trains. This is not a document for player families to decide which day/time best suits them. It’s a general guide of when training takes place for each age group and it also includes helpful information about field locations.

Ground Allocations available soon
