Ground Marshal at Mount Eliza Soccer Club

The basic role of a ground Marshal at Mount Eliza Soccer club.

Each team from Mount Eliza Soccer Club at both home and away games needs to provide a Ground Marshal from the Parent Group from that team for their game.

It is important to remember the Ground Marshal is not a security guard, its more about traffic management and observations.

The Job Basics…

• Wear a Ground Marshal Bib.
• Liaise with the opposition team’s Ground Marshal to advise/find out where Spectators should stand.
• Stand with the Referee at Half Time (especially if a junior Referee).
• Observe Crowd behaviour.
• If poor behaviour in the Opposition Crowd.
  • Ask the Opposition Ground Marshal to look after the issue.
• If poor behaviour in your Crowd.
  • Ask the person to desist from that behaviour or alternatively ask a parent who knows the person to ask them to desist from the behaviour.
• Stand with the Referee after the game (especially if a junior Referee).

Team Managers- It is up to you how you roster the Ground Marshal however one team at least sets the Fuit/Snakes/Ground Marshal roster each match as the same person. That way it’s easy to remember who is doing what.
