That is not true unless the team manger was lying.  I’ve heard from others that we have more control with scheduling EDP games.

[quote=RantingSoccerDad][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And I think she only did it because she wants to know be in the know and control the scheduling.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the best course of action to have the team anger removed?  [/quote]

You can have the job! I only agreed to do it because the Coach asked and everyone else said no.[/quote][/quote]

what team manager has control of the scheduling ... or anything else? It is just a series of tedious and mundane duties! No control whatsoever.[/quote]

Seriously -- I've never seen a manager who can control the timing of anything at all. Not practice. Certainly not games. Maybe someone somewhere does it, but it's definitely not the norm. Definitely not the case at PAC.[/quote][/quote]

EDP ... maybe? Their scheduling seems more haphazard than other leagues.[/quote]

Yes. Team Managers on EDP teams coordinate with each other to schedule games. Team Managers also schedule practice times and locations. [/quote]

I ran an EDP team and while I did coordinate the schedule I did not decide on the times or locations. The two coaches for each game did. Same with practice. Purely a coordination role, not a decision making role. [/quote]

I manage an EDP team, too. When scheduling a home game, I look first at field availability, then coach's schedule (coach has several teams), then coordinate with opponent manager/coach. There are often several back-and-forth exchanges. There might occasionally be a little wiggle room to take into consideration my personal preferences (often there is none) but it would just add more pieces to the puzzle and make my job more complicated. When the opponent contacts me to schedule an away game, I check with coach's schedule and if it is clear and our team has no conflict, accept. I think if a manager was hungry for control she/he would run into roadblocks constantly and be very frustrated.

I don't mind managing my kids' teams. Among them, there have been a lot of years of travel soccer in NCSL, CCL, and EDP. Managing, EDP especially, takes a fair bit of time and effort. But the kids love to play and it's a way for me to contribute to the experience and make things run a little more smoothly. Other than that, though, I don't see any benefit, advantage, or special privilege. I find it bizarre that anyone does. When I have NOT managed, I am simply grateful that someone else is willing to put in the time.[/quote]
