The role of the Team Manager is an integral part of the team, it does not need to be difficult, or time-consuming. However, it does require some communication and organisational skills, as the team manager is the direct liaison between the coach, players, parents and committee.
The basic role of the Team Manager is to ensure that:
- The team has sufficient players for each game; and
- All parents are kept informed of the club’s activities, team’s activities (training and games) and their responsibilities (scoring, voting for MVP and supervision at training).
Team managers should work with the coach for the benefit of their team, and keep each other informed of developments concerning the team or any individual player.
Key responsibilities
- Maintain a team list for your communication.
- Inform the team/parents of Club Policies.

- Be inclusive and provide all players, existing and new, with equal opportunities to participate.
- Communicates any concerns with the team or coaching to the committee.
- Understand and uphold the club’s Code of Conducts.
- Facilitate an end of season team celebration and/or awards presentation.
