Each boy usually gets the shirts to wash in turn after the match. This is usually done in alphabetical order so that each boy should only have the shirts at the most, twice in each season. The boy who takes the shirts also brings the half time oranges that week. Boys usually play from Under 8 to under 13 with a Club team of their own choice. When they attend College, the N.Z. Junior Football Association ruling is that the College teams have first choice of players.
Coaches usually referee half a game each.
A good way to decide who referees which half is to agree that whoever wins the toss would referee the first half. This is also a good time to make sure between yourselves that you are using the right size ball and playing the appropriate time for each half. A Team Manager's Score Book published by the N.Z.J.F.A. is available through the Junior Management Committee. This is a very useful book and at 50c is well worth the money. Fixtures are normally published each Thursday in the 'Evening Post'.
