Duties & Responsibilities of a Team Manager



Duties & Responsibilities of a Team Manager

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF A TEAM MANAGER The manager is responsible for all functions listed herein either by delegation or by carrying out these functions personally. Head coaches always have the prerogative of handling any of these functions themselves.

A. Roster. Distribute a team roster to each player including player name, parents name, address, phone number, coaches’ name and phone numbers.

B. Ice Draws. A representative of the team must be present at the pre-season ice draws for indoor practice hours. Once these hours are drawn, they belong to your team. If, for any reason, your team is unable to use any of these hours, it is the Manager’s responsibility to trade them with (or give them to) another team or to notify the Ice Coordinator that you will not be using the ice in accordance with our ice return policy. The minimum time period ice may be returned to the Ice Coordinator is one (1) month.

C. Team Finances. Manager will collect an agreed upon amount from the parents to cover such expenses such as additional ice time, games, and tournaments as well as non-parent coaches' expenses for out-of-town tournaments, out-of-town tournaments hospitality room, and end-of-the-season party and trophies or plaques (optional). All additional expenditures must have the consent of the parents. Some additional expenses may include team apparel, during-the-season parties, trophy name plates, bus expenses for out-of-town tournaments, scrapbooks, and coaches’ and managers’ gifts. Coaches’ and managers’ gifts may be paid from the checkbook or collected separately from the parents. It is best to decide this at the beginning of the season. Supply an invoice (copy of the Estimated Travel Costs per Player) to the parents and establish a timetable for collection. The Estimated Travel Costs per Player is prepared by the Treasurer at the beginning of the season. Generally, collect the first third by October 15th and collect the second third by December 15th and final installment by January 15th. It is easier to collect a little extra ahead of time and refund families, as opposed to collecting at season end. Team invoices will be processed by HYHA Treasurer and billed at least twice during the season. The invoice for the team tournaments is included in the packet. HYHA Treasurer will distribute the monthly ice usage within 10 days of the end of the month. Review and advise as to any changes within 10 days.
