We will try to allow for 2 practices per week.

OLPH Field Coordinator Duties
Soccer
1. SCHEDULE. Check the schedule of games on your assigned weekend PRIOR to your weekend. If you are sharing a weekend with another coach, coordinate with your partner well in advance. Schedules will be provided to each coach. Additional copies are available from the commissioner - a master copy will be posted at the concession stand.
** NOTE ** If you have a game where both teams are not from OLPH, you must coordinate assistance for that game in advance. Only OLPH parents can work in the concession stand.
** NOTE ** If you have never been the field coordinator before, it is strongly suggested that you either do a walk-through with a veteran coach or visit the field on the weekend before your duty to get educated. Don't feel alone, we are here to help each other and we all know what its like to do it for the first time!
2. KEYS. OLPH CYO has a set of keys that rotate from coordinator to coordinator. On the key ring you will find 4 keys. One to the concession stand and the storage room. One to the restroom. One to the meeting room and one to the cash drawer. Make sure that you get the keys to and from the coordinators early in the week.
3. GRASS. Make sure the fields are mowed before each weekend. This includes all the grass from fence line to fence line. Use the push mower to "scalp" all lines on both fields BEFORE you mow with the rider. This way the lines won't get lost. Edge and weed-eat where necessary. Mowers, edger and gas are in the equipment room. Please check the oil levels in the mowers before you start them. If you need to purchase gas, please keep your receipt for reimbursement with our treasurer.
4. LINING. Line the side lines, goalie box, center circle, etc. Use the marble dust provided and keep it all dry.

5. CONCESSION OPENING. Open the concession stand at least 30 minutes before the first game.

a. Only open one window for business (sell from one side).

Only OLPH parents can work in the concession stand. If the responsible home team will not provide the necessary adult volunteers to run the concession stand, lock the doors and inform the home team head coach. As field coordinator, it is not your job to run the concession stand or look for volunteers to run it. It is the responsibility of the home team.

Thank you, for your dedication to making CYO sports a success for our children !!

 
  CASH MANAGEMENT. You are responsible for safekeeping of CYO funds during the games. It is CYO policy to not leave cash in an accessible area due to possible theft. The OLPH CYO must account for concession income and we track it by day to ensure proper controls are in place. There is one drop box in the concession stand, secured to the floor inside the cash drawer cabinet on the same side as field 1.
Cash management will be strictly adhered to as follows :

In the concession stand, there are 2 cash drawers, but for soccer we only use the one facing field 1.
The drawer should contain the following start of day balance:
  $ 1.00 bills - 30
$ 5.00 bills - 4

= $ 30.00
= $ 20.00
==========
Total $ 50.00
 

Remove the cash drawer key from the key ring and make sure the start of day amount is accounted for. It is necessary to have the key to open the cash drawer. PLEASE take proper care of it.
*** NOTE *** Do not count the loose change (coins)

 
 
  • During the day:
  • Check to see if there is any excessive cash that has been collected. To eliminate any possible theft:
    • Collect the money
    • Fill out the envelopes provided (located near the drop box)
    • Put the money in the envelope & seal it
    • Drop it in the drop box
  • Fill out a cash control sheet or "Drop Sheet" located near the drop box with the amount of money dropped and the drop number
  • At the end of each day:
    • Count out the next days "Start of Day" cash and leave that amount in the cash drawer
    • *** NOTE *** Do not count the loose change (coins)
    • Drop all remaining cash
    • Fill out the remaining information on the drop sheet, fold it and place it in the drop box.
  • At this point, the cash drawer should be back at the start of day balance
