Coaches Corner 6 of 7

6. Using Club Equipment


The club has a variety of equipment stored in the container at WSC. This includes a number of tackle bags and shields and agility bars and poles. Please ensure that all coaches and players have been shown how to use the equipment safely.

The post protectors and flag poles are also stored here - some games played offsite, for example at New Lane will need these transported. Please ensure that all equipment is returned to the container and that the container is locked. All Age Group/Team Head Coaches have been issued with a key and there is also one behind the bar (on a red cord) - please return it if used.

Note: On occasions the protectors and flag poles are left out on Saturdays if there are M&J games on the following day - please put them away after use on Sunday - the next teams to use them will likely be the Seniors the following week and the House and Grounds staff will expect them to be in their correct place.

Any new equipment requests, including balls, or damage should be notified to Equipment Officer (Dom Hastings) or Secretary (Lucy Blacksell).

Floodlights at GSC - please do not use the floodlights at GSC if you are not familiar with how to use them - they represent a danger to both yourself and others. There are 2 guides on how to use them. Some pointers:

  • Ensure the engine is warmed up before turning it on (if you don;t know what this means, don't use it).
  • Turn on the lights gradually and in sequence (NOT all at once).
  • Ensure the mast is raised to the correct height and ALWAYS taken down after each session (do no over extend the mast past the yellow markers).
  • Do not raise the floodlight masts in excessive winds.

Make sure you notify Kev Jones if they are low on fuel or are not working for any reason.

Floodlights at Bridge Lane - there are 6 portable floodlights stored at BL. Please do not use the floodlights if you are not familiar with how to use them - guidance will be posted here shortly. Please contact Dom Hastings or Nick Stafford with any queries.

Junior Scrum sled - please do not use the new sled (stored at GSC in the pitch side container) if you are not familiar with how to use it - it represents a danger to both yourself and others. - guidance will be posted here shortly. Please contact Dom Hastings or Nick Stafford with any queries.
