Coach & Manager Registration
Thank you for stepping up! Leichhardt Saints FC is a volunteer-run, non-profit club. We literally couldn’t get players on the pitch without you. Whether you’re a veteran or a first-timer, we’re here to support you every step of the way.
⚠️ Team Official Requirements
Every team must have at least one registered Coach or Manager to take the field.
-
The “Power of Three”: While one official is the minimum, we strongly recommend having a Coach, a Manager, and an Assistant Coach or Manager. Ideally, having at least 3 registered officials per team ensures there is always backup and the workload is shared.
-
Junior Teams: Football Canterbury will not accept teams without a registered adult official (over the age of 18).
-
Sideline Access: Only registered officials are permitted in the “Technical Area” during matches and receive official club notifications.
Step 1: Secure your WWCC (Mandatory)
If you are coaching or managing a Junior Team (U18 and below), you must have a verified Working With Children Check (WWCC).
-
New Applicants: Apply online here. After applying, you must visit a Service NSW centre to verify your identity.
-
Adult Teams: If you do not have a WWCC, you must Request a WWCC Exemption.
