[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a team manager because the club asked me to manage; there are no “advantages” and I’d gladly give the job to anyone else who would take it; it’s really just administrative hassle.

I’m not organizing a gift for the coach, not because I’m against it, but because I’ve got enough on my plate. Surely one of the soccer moms can organize that if they care to do so.

It cracks me up the parents who think that being the team manager is some desired position with perks. I’m a parent just like you — so if you want to organize a gift for the coach, be my guest. [/quote]

For most of this year, the team manager got to watch, when practice and games were closed to other parents.

They also get more access to the coach, and many of try to use it to get things like more playing time.

What? LOL. I’ve been the team manager for 3 years and I'm shocked to find out I should have been getting perks.  I have not watched a practice in years aside from the first practice of the season for the parents’ meeting. And that didn’t change in COVID. I also had the same game access as the other families, 2  supporters per player. And, yes, I had more access to the coach because our schedules and uniforms and fields changed frequently so we did a lot of texting and some last minute 2 second phone calls.

Another parent organized the coaches’ gifts and I really appreciated it.[/quote]
