REVISED DRESSING ROOM/ SIDELINE GUIDELINES
Please note that under age players are not permitted inside the dressing rooms prior to or after a senior game or inside the surrounding fence wire when a senior game is ongoing. This is to protect all parties involved. We ask parents and guardians to continually remind their children of this rule which will be strictly enforced. We appreciate your ongoing support and cooperation.
Appropriate Football Gear
Can all underage team managers, trainers/coaches please ensure that all players representing Milltown / Castlemaine are dressed in club colours, green and white socks and togs. This is to avoid any inconvenience prior to games. We would also ask parents/guardians of players to inform their children of this County Board Rule.
DEFIBRILLATOR
Our club defibrillator has now been relocated to outside the doors of the clubrooms and is available to the community.
As we are all aware, access to a defibrillator can save some one’s life.
Our club is compiling a list of qualified individuals who are competent in using a defibrillator. You never know that perhaps your own life or the life of your son/daughter/ mother / father/ brother/sister/granny or grandad may be saved some day by someone on this list.
Please contact Deirdre on 086 17 03 332, if you wish to place your name on the list or private message me on FB.
