Really? I used to be a team manager for Alexandria, and one of the listed duties was trying to help players who didn't have rides find them. It only came up once when I was a manger, but I could see it coming up more often if a player's family didn't have car or a player's parents worked on weekends or the like.

Lol, understand you are not the boss of parents. If parents wish to be included in car pools they are more than able to share their location and contact info. A team manager is not needed to arrange carpools. Let the parents sort it out. [/quote]

Well, you are entitled to your view, but that's not the view of ASA.  Some clubs, ASA included, offer scholarships to players on free and reduced lunch, whose parents may not have cars. I don't think it is unreasonable to request that other parents help those kids out with rides from time to time.  The other parents are free to say no.  It's a request, not a summons.  The only time I had to ask for a ride for a child, his parents did not speak English well at all, and their car had been totaled.  People were happy to help.  [/quote]

Parents do this anyways. It isn't rocket science. Jesus, if the team manger didn't put out a email requesting carpool info you honestly believe that parents wouldn't figure it out?

It isn't the responsibility of a team manager regardless of what ASA thinks. If a parent can't find anyone on the team the to carpool with then perhaps the team manager can facilitate a car pool with a family on another team that practices at the same time.
