TEAM PARENT INFO

A Team Parent helps with administrative tasks which will allow the coach to concentrate on coaching, the players and team development. Common responsibilities include but are not limited to:

TEAM PARENT MEETING - Attend the Team Parent meeting which the Team Parent Coordinator will invite you to, in order to receive all the information you need to pass onto the coach and parents.  

EMAIL PARENTS - At your first team meeting, obtain each parents' email address and send out a "I'm the Team Parent" email.  You will need to always keep parents informed of what's going on with the team as well as with the league.

MAKE A TEAM ROSTER - Make a list of the players, include their name, parents' name, telephone numbers and emails.

AFTER-GAME SNACKS - Appoint one player per game to bring snacks. NOTE: Check with parents to make sure their child does not have any food allergies.

TEAM FEES - Come up with a budget and ask families for team fees. The team fees can be used for the team banner, coaches’ gifts, etc. You should keep a very organized spreadsheet of what money has been collected and how it has been spent.  Make sure to keep all your receipts.

UNIFORMS - You will need to distribute uniforms to the players as soon as possible.  The league provides the player with a jersey, hat, pants, socks and belt.

TEAM BANNER (OPTIONAL) - Create and order the team banner for your team.

PICTURE DAY - You will need to pass out the picture order forms and inform the families on your team of your scheduled picture time. There is also a team roster to fill out for Picture Day.
