Check the match balls, pitch, nets, goalposts and corner flags before the game, not just before kickoff when it's too late to fix any problems..
	Ensure you meet the referee when he/she arrives. Offer him/her the match ball and his/her match fee before the game, and make sure he/she knows where to change, where the pitch is and the hospitality arrangements afterwards.
	Ensure the opposition have arrived, know where to change and where the pitch is, and that there are no colour clashes (teams do turn up with different coloured kits than they’re supposed to). Make they know the post-match hospitality arrangements.
	Ensure your team, the referee and the opposition are aware of arrangements for valuables (generally they’re safest on the pitch, with the goalkeeper).
	At half time, make sure you offer refreshments to the opposition and the referee.
	After the game, make sure you remind the referee and the away team of the hospitality details, or accept their hospitality if you are the away team.
