Organizational hopscotch


Did you realize that managing a football team takes up quite some effort and time?

I didn't know it....until now.


Let me run you through the checklist that I need to do for these weekend's fixtures


  • book the field : check

  • book the referees : check

  • send out sms to our players, informing them bout the game and asking them to confirm their participance : check

  • and if they do not reply ; RESEND : check

  • arrange the starting line-up (taking into account each player's abilities, but foremost their limitations, lol) : check

  • make sure the balls have the right air pressure (if not, pump, pump, ...manually ofcourse) : check

  • prepare the first aid-kit (and if need be re-stock it)....and believe me we do need this kit : check

  • for the guys who don't possess our team outfit, take along the training jerseys (luckily they are of a matching colour) : check

  • bring along the digital camera to record the event : check

The above are the tasks before the game, and if you thought that this is the end of it, you can forget about it. Below are the tasks for after the game



  • match-report with final score line and names of goalscorers

  • jot down the names of the dudes who played (attendance record)

  • check the countless pictures and appropriately delete and save them

  • put all the aforementioned on the website

Did I forget something? I kinda have a feeling that I've forgotten something...anyone else game for this stuff? Somebody's gotta do it. And the one who is writing all this down is either a 'control freak' or an 'insanely football-loving dude'. Your pick!!
