Home Game Clock
For our home games each team is responsible for having a person run the game clock. Some parents enjoy doing it and play music in between whistles. As manager see if there are parents who would like to run the clock and do the scoresheet each weekend.
If no volunteers, make a schedule rotating families through. Or, make a shared spreadsheet where families can sign up.
Clock instructions are written out and in the penalty box area.
