[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Also the club should hire a team manager and not rely on a volunteer parent to do the job. 1. its part of the clubs responsibility . 2. It keeps the ass kissing team parent from getting favoritism for their child. [/quote]

No one on our team wants to do the team manager job, the coach sent out numerous emails begging people to do it.  I eventually said that I would.  I'm not an "ass kisser" and don't expect it to get my son any favoritism - he is one of the weaker players on the team and IMO, should be grateful to have been offered a spot.   What he does with that spot is on him.  But given that the club does not hire a team manager, somebody had to do it.[/quote]

The one and only time I took the job, I got it the same way.  I made the rookie mistake of saying 'well-if nobody else volunteers let me know' when approached in person.  Before I even got home there was an email announcing me as the manager.

I never talked to the Coach other than logistical things---time for kids to be at field, etc.

Some Clubs though---that spot is always the a**-kisser.  This Club parents were less intense, but I've been in a Club where every manager was that 'guy'.  And, they had all of the gossip and spread it like wild-fire.

Btw, you don't need to be manager to be a major a**-kisser.  Trust me on that one.[/quote]
