Team Managers Responsibilities
Being a "Team Manager" takes alot of hard work and it is appreciated.. You, as a team manager, are the backbone of the team. You keep things in order, make sure everyone knows about any practice cancellations, game reschedules, you make up drink schedules to ensure the players on your team have drinks at every game, you collect money for tournaments, get the registration forms in for those tournaments and you plan the end-of-the -season party. See, the coaches would have their hands full if he or she didn't have you..You keep the parents and players up-to-date on changes that will affect the team and you make it possible for the "COACH" to coach the team. As always it is a privilege to work with all of you...This webpage was created for you so you can use it as a reference if you need to.I will try to keep it updated so you can refer to it, if you need to look up dates, times or certain events taking place during the soccer season that you are responsible for arranging for your team.For those of you who have never been a team manager, I will go through some of the things you will be responsible for. They are as follows:
Portable Building/Office		Calls to Team Parents
It is imperative that you stop by the portable on Opening Day to see if there is anything there for your coach. I will send out an email if I plan to have items for you.This is where you will come to pick up the cookie dough order forms for your team,your roster,player cards for the (u9-U18)teams,schedule changes or game cancellations,pictures, etc. So be sure to COME BY THE PORTABLE if an email is sent out stating that there are items there for you.		As a team manager, it is your responsibility to call all the parents on the team and tell them when, what time and where practices will be held for your team. It is also important, to let them know they should have their child at every practice. If they are not able to take their child to practice, they should call ahead of time and let the coach know they won't be there. Some coaches plan their practice drills based on the number of kids attending practice and if some don't show it can throw his whole practice off.
Game Schedule and Snack Schedule		Picture Schedule
You also need to make sure your parents have a schedule of the games. Include the time, field number and team you're playing. You also need to make up a snack schedule for the team. Make sure you tell the parents responsible for bringing drinks to bring water. If they want to bring snacks remember to make them healthy ones such as: fruit roll-ups, grapes, granola bars, etc. Don't forget to send your players to the concession stand AFTER your game for FREE DRINKS!!!!!		You will have your pictures taken on Opening Day 1 hour prior to your game time. Please make sure your parents have their order forms with them when they go have their photo session done. It's your responsibility to make sure all of the players show up to have their picture taken.
Concession Stand Duty		Keep Our Fields Clean
Your team could be assigned Concession Stand Duty during the season. You need to have no less than 2 people to work the concession stand. The concession stand duty can be found on our website under the schedules link in the drop down list.		Please tell everyone on your team to put all of their (trash) empty bottles, cups, candy wrappers, etc. in the trash cans. Make sure all the trash is picked up on your sideline BEFORE you leave the fields. Help us keep the complex looking good... It would be very much appreciated...
Tournament Requirements
If you plan to take your team to a tournament during the season you will need to have a signed roster from either the Girls or Boys Registrar, and player cards. You need to make copies of the signed roster especially if you decide to go to a lot of tournaments. If you ask the registrar for another copy of your roster, you will be charged a fee. You need to try and get these things finalized within enough time to get the cards from the registrars and get them signed by each player, put a picture on it and get it laminated!! You will also need medical release forms (that no longer need to be notarized) from every player on your team. You need player cards for guest players also. Remember, guest players are to be written in on the roster and must either be registered with RRSA or some other association for that season. You will also need to have the players jersey numbers written on the roster as well.
