"We really appreciate parents bringing the girls along; it wouldn’t be worthwhile doing this without them. Please, remember your coaches, managers and referees are volunteers.

 

They won’t be paid and are rarely thanked. They won’t be acknowledged by the media and don’t all win awards. They do this in their spare time so their child and your child can play.

 

Please respect their decisions and support them positively at matches."

Simon Ryan.
