Newbury Bulls is 100% volunteer run, which means we will need parents to get involved. Every team needs a Coach & Manager (which is usually a parent of a child in that team). Each coach needs to have attended an accredited course before coaching a team. This course needs to be age specific eg. U5-U7 MiniRoo Football Certificate, U8-11 Skill Training Certificate, etc. These courses must be done via BDSFA before the season kicks off.  If you have completed an accredited course in the last 2 years for the age group you wish to coach for the next season, a course is not necessary as you are covered under the certificate you received. But if you are coaching a higher age group a new course needs to undertaken.

All Coaches and Managers need to register on Dribl this year, and provide your valid Working With Children Check information at the time of registering. All registrations need to be completed by the start of the season, including uploading a photo of yourself, so ID cards can be made by BDSFA.
