[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A more optimistic view of what parental participation in youth sports (and other civic activities) can resemble:  https://www.economist.com/united-states/2019/08/01/what-the-mighty-dolphins-say-about-america

In my view, people should participate as much as they want.  It helps for the TM to make that explicit for those who don't know so others are not discouraged from helping.  On things like car pooling, while it is not their obligation to arrange, it can certainly be useful for them to serve as facilitator and information conduit.[/quote]

Nobody said these things were not important or useful to do. The argument is are these things really the responsibility of one person? Anyone can offer to help with carpools if needed. Through tools like TeamSnap these things are easier for parents to just handle themselves more directly. A team manager is not needed to send out a email to all parents regarding car pooling. Provide the tools for parents and families to manage these things more independently and this frees up the team manager to do more administrative responsibilities that are a part of the actual job.

Team managers often simply like to hoard responsibilities as way of maintaining influence. [/quote]
