TEAM MANAGER INFORMATION

Team managers play the important role of ensuring teams are properly credentialed, and are often the source for communication with team members on practice and game schedules, events, and other team activities. Team managers also are responsible for keeping game records (score sheets) and ​coordinating team travel.

Your local association may have other requirements and resources for team managers.
