Parental input has been the back-bone to our growth. You won't just be told to get on with it - there are lots of people on hand to help. Wearing red underpants outside your trousers is optional!
A Team Manager is a link between the coaches & the off-field stuff a team needs done to function. Don't be daunted, its not as busy as it looks & as well as the chairman, vice chairman and membership secretary (Juniors' senior members), other TMs are always happy to offer advice. Basically the job is to persuade, pester & dragoon other parents to commit to stuff & get them hands on.
Below are some tips and guidance for what a Junior Team Manager does throughout the year.
General
- Make new joiners feel welcome
- Familiarise all with Club’s Code of Conduct.
- Share weekly (& any other) club news with your group [you will need to logged in, and make sure you select the right team under section]
- Any incident please report to CWO. If unsure if warrants reporting speak to a senior member first.
- Download the Pitchero Manager and Pitchero Club apps to your phone
- Manage your teams' website & homepage
- Join the TM Whatsapp group
- Attend the general Team Manager meetings (3 a season)
- Assist the coaches with off-field tasks
- If not sure of anything don’t be afraid to ask
Keeping track of players and parents & payment of subs- Ensure parents sign themselves and their children up to Pitchero and GMS
- Ensure that Pitchero contains all the relevant information about players and parents,
and is kept up to date (e.g. removing people who have left the club)- Ensure all parents have paid subs for themselves and players (if any financial
difficulties speak with a senior member for any deals)- Ensure all players are registered with the RFU and their RFU number is entered on Pitchero
Fixtures including festivals [mostly managed using Pitchero]- Ensure parents know about
