Team Manager Meeting
Tuesday august 28, 2018

2. General Responsibilities
Mangers handle the administrative duties for the team allowing the coach and trainer to prepare the players for competition. This includes securing practice fields, handling game reschedules, registering for tournaments and having game day items (passes and rosters) on hand at each game.
Coaches are asked to communicate directly to the families on team development, expectations, and progress, while managers are the communications liaison between the parents, club administrators, scheduling entities and tournament directors for all other topics.  
A successful and enjoyable season requires a strong partnership between the manager and coach  along with good planning.
