We desperately need the following - 

Bar Volunteers

Canteen volunteers

Marshal of Senior/Reserve games

Line Marking pitches

Pitch and grounds maintenance 

plus many more roles

We invite new members to join the Committee. We have several vacancies, so if you have a skill, please let us know.

Match Day

MiniRoos and Juniors have 18 rounds of compeition. Generally, there are 9 home matches and 9 away matches.

Football Victoria administer the competition and detemine the leagues. Lagues are split into 4 zones, North, South, East and West. As there are usually several leagues within each zone, FV will strive to group clubs in leagues based on club locations within zones.

Higher grade leagues may have a wider travel zone based on team entries but generally they will still be within the N,S,E and W zones.

All parents will have roles or tasks allocated to them to ensure that match day runs smoothly and that your child gets the best experience on match day.

Casey Comets is no different to other community clubs or sports codes in expecting parent participation to ensure that match day and/or training runs smoothly. 

Roles on match day could be 

• ensuring the pitch is safe to play
• assisting with the player pre match warm up 
• providing 1/2 time oranges (roster system)
• stand in should no referee arrive (home matches) 
• ensure that match balls and corner flags are in situ
• running lines (U12+)
• team marshall

FV have released a Club Handbook that contains detailed information regarding match day. We ask that all parents/guardians read the match book as it contains important information on what can be expected during the season. This may be updated for 2025.

2026 FV Rules of Competition

Casey Comets has to comply with FV Rules and Regulations and needs to ensure that teams have a team marshall and that we have ground marshalls at the facility. These are volunteer roles that are carried out by teams (parents). FV have supplied a Ground Marshall Handbook with information regarding the position responsibilities.

Kits (Uniforms)

Playing kits are not covered by club fees and are purchased separately.

The club has a supply of kits on site for purchase, however kits can also be purchased direct from the supplier should a size not be available. 

A playing kit contains a home shirt, away shirt, shorts and socks. Your TM will advise which shirt should be worn each week, although we recommend bringing both shirts to each match.

The playing kits are mandatory wear and comply with all FV Rules and Regulations of competition.

Returning players can reuse their kits from last year, while new players purchase kits. The club will strive to provide kits with numbers not already allocated. It may that a kit has to be ordered with an unused number or we can adapt the number so there are no number duplications.

We will order in a large supply of socks as we recommend purchasing additional socks.

Club Merchandise is also available direct from the supplier (jackets, coats, tracksuits)

Shinguards are MANDATORY. We have shin guards available to buy at a low price or they can be purchased from a reputable sports store.

Football Boots must be worn at training and match day. A referee will not allow a player to participate without shinguards, club football socks or football boots,

Football boots should have plastic studs (no metal studs). Boots can be purchased from a reputable sports store. We recommend wearing the boots in for comfort, purchasing based on player comfort and keep in mind that children's feet grow extraordinarily quickly.

What to pack for a match 

It is important to set good habits and encourage younger players to assist with packing the kit bag. Junior players should become responsible for ensuring they have everything they need on match days.
