Which volunteers must my team supply, and who is allowed in the Coaches Box?

You coordinate your team's game day volunteers, including scorekeeping and timing. Each team must supply for every match:

• Coach (CoachAFL Foundation Coach)
• Team Manager (you)
• First Aid / Medical Officer: minimum a First Aider (HLTAID011) or qualified medical professional; recommended Level 1 or 2 Sports Trainer. They must also have completed the AFL online First Aid and Concussion Management module and wear a white vest with a green cross
• Goal umpire: an adult, not an injured or rostered-off player
• Interchange Steward
• The home team also supplies a Timekeeper, who can also be the independent scorer, and the match ball (the away team a spare)
• Optionally one Runner, aged 18 or over

Coaches Box (Years 3-12): permitted are the coach, one assistant coach, team manager, runner, First Aid / Medical Officer, and anyone named as playing in the match. Not permitted: interchange steward, goal umpire, home independent scorer or timekeeper, ground marshal, and anyone not named as playing (spectators or previously injured players). Coaching staff must be on the team sheet and stay in the box during play.

Each venue hosting junior matches also needs a Ground Marshal.
