Help Shape the Colts Culture
Coaches, managers, trainers and volunteers all play an important role in creating a positive, safe and enjoyable environment for every player at Aquinas Colts.
Register as a Coach, Trainer or Volunteer
All coaches, trainers, managers and volunteers must be registered through MySideline before the season starts.
This is the first step to being part of the Colts team for the season.
Supporting Players On and Off the Field
Coaching at the Colts is about more than football. It is about building friendships, developing character and helping young players grow in a strong club environment.
Why Your Role Matters
We value all of the amazing people who volunteer and invest their time into our club, our teams and our players.
Specifically, our coaches, managers and trainers can make a life-changing impact on the futures of the young men and women who play with our club.
At the Colts, we aim to create a club and team culture that allows each player to build friendships, play with respect and fairness, and develop footballing and life skills along the way.
What We Want to Stand For
As a coach and parent, we aim to create a playing and community culture that increases participation and helps keep the playing environment positive for our teams, officials and opposition clubs.
Community
We create an environment that is inclusive and welcoming.
Fairness
We play hard, but we play fair. We ensure all players are able to contribute to the team in a meaningful way.
Development
We make all efforts to develop group comradery, skills, confidence and sportsmanship while cultivating an environment of enjoyment.
Being Your Best
In any role you play, find the way you can be at your best. Put everything you can into what you do, and the rest will look after itself.

Parents Working With the Coach & Team
All parents seek the best experience and environment for their child. Working together helps create a stronger team culture for everyone.
Every child is different with unique strengths, personalities, experiences and preferences. It is important for parents to remember that the coach is working with a complicated set of needs across a team, trying to create an environment that works as best as possible for everyone.
Expect fairness across the team, not simply the preferences you have for your child.
Respect that the coach is human, and they might make mistakes.
Support the coach by working with the principles, game plans or team culture the coach and players are creating.
Seek first to understand before venting frustrations. It is best to resolve issues rather than making them worse.
