[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are just looking for things to do in order to justify being a team manager then the shoe may fit.

All of the mentioned things can certainly be done but they are not all necessary and [b]can be done by anyone on the team.[/b] [/quote]

PP here.  Not sure what you mean by this.  "Anyone on the team" can volunteer to be the manager.  I am the PP who mentioned I am a "classic" team manager (not a travel team).   True, anyone willing to do the tasks can become a manager.  But is everyone willing to do the following?

Analyze team expenses and determine the player fees for the season.  Work with the money manager to collect those fees.
Reserve fields for practices
Communicate game and practice information to players (teamsnap)
Organize volunteers for game day and practices through signup genius
Find and reserve indoor practice facility for winter sessions.
Register team for all leagues -- spring, fall, winter.
Get players carded (get them to sign waivers, submit photos, provide proof of age, etc.) 
Obtain team input for various issues.
Determine jersey color for each game
Assist coach in recruiting any needed players and get them on board.
Organize any games that need to be rescheduled if other team willing to do so.
Deal with a couple crappy parents who whine about everything.
There is more I bet, but I can't think of it right now

If you think this is something the coach should do, great.  But I imagine a team with a manager to help with these things makes for a more robust and organized team...especially where there is a coach working with other teams.

The PP is talking about being a team manager for a REC team. None of your list applies as those things are all done by the club. [/quote]
