Each division will have a designated convenor.

The role of convenor is an important one for the proper functioning of our Spring Season. Though the duties listed below may see long, the Convenor has the full backing and support of the CFR Executive to assist where necessary. In summary, the Convenor’s job is to ensure the on-field operation of the specific division functions in a manner consistent with CFR goals and philosophy. At the outset of the year the Convenor’s main job is to run the team assignment process in conjunction with a member of the CFR executive committee. Once teams are selected, the Convenor ensures coaches receive all the tools and resources available to them. Again, the Convenor would work with members of the CFR executive to make this happen.
