Team Manager - Getting Started

Thank you for being a Team Manager. You occupy an important position for your team and coach. Team Managers are responsible for communicating essential information to team families and performing a variety of administrative tasks. We hope this page is helpful in answering questions you may have. 

If you have technical questions or need computer assistance, please contact Rachel Falco

Communication with your Coach: As a new team manager, the first thing you’ll need to do is touch base with your coach and exchange contact and best place to reach information.  Confirm practice location and times.

Website Password:  Once you have formally volunteered for the program, contact the Division Director, to get your status within the simslax.org website updated. Just email him/her ccing your coach and ask that your status be updated to “team manager”. Once this is done, your usual email and corresponding password should now give you “manager” access to the simslax.org website.

Team Binder: Create a team binder. Include the Manager’s manual, team list and team contacts (available through the simslax.org website).  

Player Forms: Plan arrangements to obtain the completed player forms (code of conduct, consent to treat, concussion forms). If the forms were not collected at tryouts, this can be done at a form collection/uniform distribution meeting or done at the first practice. The important thing is that the forms must all be obtained prior to a player taking the field. Make sure all of the information is complete and all signatures present. If anything missing, please follow-up with the players and their families. These three forms will need to go into a Ziploc bag (to protect it from the elements as the coach’s bag is not waterproof) and be kept in the coach’s bag as it needs to be accessible to the coaches at all times while on the field.
