OUR PLAYING AND TRAINING KIT, AND EQUIPMENT POLICY
The following information explains Sherwood Football Club’s (SFC) policy and procedures relating to playing and training equipment, including strips. It is intended to inform our coaches and managers.
General Principles
- SFC teams are expected to secure their own funding for new kit via sponsorship (See note below).
- New sets of balls will be provided once a year – before the start of the season. As long as we make enough money on our fundraising/presentation day!
Replacements due to loss and damage are to be funded by individual teams. This could be done by increasing your monthly subs to cover the cost of new equipment. - If your team needs any other new equipment, please apply to the Equipment Manager.
Sponsorship
Teams should seek sponsorship for their kits. This could come from a local company or individual (a generous parent!?). There are several spaces available on the shirt for a sponsors logo – main front, back lower, and back upper.
