| Role of Team Manager |
| The goal for a Team Manager (TM) is not only to organize the team but to effectively communicate with the parents and be responsive to questions and concerns. TM's also pay an active role in building team spirit and morale. All of these things are what makes being part of GSA and Force FC both easy and enjoyable for the players and their families, and helps to retain players, which in turn strengthens the team and club. |
| TM's are in charge of team communication with parents, coaches and trainers. Prior to the start of the season, you should inform your team as to what they should expect in regards to dues, practice schedules and commitment. |
| TM's are responsible for maintaining the team app with up to date roster and game details. (Many managers use the GroupMe app for this purpose). Make sure families understand the importance of communicating their game attendance in advance (or marking their attendance in a timely manner on the GroupMe app). |
| It is customary for TM's to send weekly reminders to their team with reminders on schedules, games, jersey colors, and game locations. |
| TM's will notify the team in the event of a rainout or location change. |
| Many teams have season gatherings. It is not a requirement but helps build team morale. A family on the team may offer to host a gathering or something simple line an ice cream outing can be planned. |
