The coach's matchday checklist
Kit, first aid, team sheet, referee money. The checklist we wish we had when we started coaching, to make Saturday mornings calmer.
The best matchdays are the ones where nothing is forgotten. Run through this list the night before and again in the car park.
The night before
- Team sheet shared and meeting time confirmed
- Directions and pitch number sent for away games
- Kit washed and counted
- Weather checked, with a plan for a late call-off
In the kit bag
- Match balls, pump and needle
- Bibs, cones and corner flags if needed
- First aid kit, ice packs and water
- Referee fee in an envelope
After the final whistle
- Score, scorers and player of the match recorded
- Thank the referee and the opposition
- Post the match report while it is fresh
Save this list somewhere the whole coaching team can see it, and matchday becomes a shared job instead of yours alone.
