[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Following up on 18:44, while I am the first to complain about parents on the sidelines and wish no one was allowed to make a sound, I have nothing but positive feelings about my kids' team managers. They volunteer their time  for all of us and don't seem to get anything out of it. I am thinking back to all the TMs my three kids have had over the years... off the top of my head I can only think of a couple kids who played more than average but they were legitimately among the team's strongest players. Plenty of other kids were average or non-starters. It never crossed my mind that their kids were getting special treatment... I don't get what the issue is. I am always grateful when someone else is willing to do the work![/quote]

Thank you. Believe me, worse than team managers are parents who kiss up and do none of the administrative work and bill collection that a lot of TMs must do. There are weeks where administrative tasks have consumed 10-15 hours of time. Believe me, I have watched plenty of parents free ride and treat TMs as employees while sucking up to coaches. The coaches and clubs just need to send a strong message to everybody, including TMs, that lobbying is not useful. [/quote]
