[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I'm still having are time wrapping my head around the team manger setting up carpools. Provide the emails and let the parents sort it out. The parents don't work for the manager and the team manger has no authority to set or require car pools. If you have no authority to actually carry out the task then it isn't a task that the manager should be charged with. [/quote]

I have no idea why this is so upsetting to people here, or so difficult for people to understand.  The parents who can use teamsnap and email to set their own stuff up just do so.  The parents who have more limited communication abilities and can't use things like teamsnap and email do not, and the team manger helps to facilitate things for that small group.  No one is compelled to drive any kid, it is just a request for help for one or two kids whose families need it.  Anyone can say no to the request.

Yes, until a team manager makes a parent feel like the following from a PP:

[quote]That's fine, but then spread around the assignments fairly. Our team manager continuously asks me to drive a really difficult kid from a really difficult family to games and tournaments(has been on our team for two years). I don't mind taking a share of driving him, but she always asks me, and I've never seen anyone else take him except the manager herself. Next time, I'm going to tell her she needs to try other families first.[/quote]

This is when it is stepping out of line. This parent feels directed to drive a kid on the team. THIS is what I'm talking about. A team manager sets up the lines of communication for parents to use and that is where it ends.[/quote]
