Captains’ checklists
It is a good idea to go through the checklist until you’re happy you’ve got everything sorted. The actions below vary slightly between home and away games.
Pre-match

|---|---|
| Understand what it means for you and your team to be Covid-19 safe. Read details. | |
| Umpires are allocated by our Umpire Development Officer (Mike Dutton). He also contacts any appointed umps to confirm | |
| Use Pitchero Manager to make your player selection. | |
| Ensure you speak with players moving to a different team in/out | |
| Team shirts and potential colour clashes. Ensure your team is aware of their options to acquire/use a Club shirt. Check the Captain's Guide to help you. If you are playing away, it is your responsibility to change colours. Remember your set of numbered bibs | |
