I took over as club secretary in May and had a cracking start getting a number of new age groups into the club.
However, the last week has possibly been the most challenging of my short tenure! I have had our U8's U11's and U15's managers leave for various reasons, none of which are linked to the club I hasten to add. However this is of no comfort as we are now just a week and 2 days before the start of the season.
I then get two emails tonight from the guy who is going to take on the U15's temporarily asking for a kit and nets for sunday, what a piss take! They are a new team to the club and have been with us for over a month now and just decide to let me know!!
Then this is followed up by our U9's manager letting me know that only 4 players have signed and two parents have decided to not sign (they are a new team to the club). This is after having the kids train with the club all summer!!! FFS what is wrong with people.
With the U11's 7 of the players left the club also from a 9-a-side team, so they were decimated. In the space of a week I have managed to get the team back in place but still no manager.
To say I am somewhat pissed off is an understatement. I am currently 3 managers and half a team down with 9 days to the start of the season and they have to be registered by Tuesday!!!!!!
