Sounds more like the manager and treasurer. Stay on the parents weekly by sending out weekly updates every Sunday, a quick recap and then what is expected the next week, when you travel for games, plan out all meals in advance. You get to pick as manager so when people complain say I have a meal planning position open if you would like.

demosphere is as good as you are capable of making it. It's a powerful site, but it requires knowledge to actually get the most out it

It depends on the club but generally: create the budget, determine how much each player must pay, collect payment (or track if they are paying through groundwork or something else), notify coach and club of non payers, reconcile budget at end of season. You may also have to pay tournament fees, but usually the club or team manager will do that.

It can be a thankless job. I suggest establishing in advance what the club/coach will do when parents don't pay. We had to formalize a pay to play policy where if you were in arrears on your team fees, your child couldn't participate in tournaments or out of town league games. (e.g., the activities that were funded by team fees)
Also good to set up PayPal as an option 1) for convenience and 2) so parents who don't have cash can finance the cost on their credit cards.
Good luck!
checks sound miserable. I though most clubs used something like demosphere? Team fees can be built in as additional payments and tracked that way- no need for a treasurer ever to handle parent money

So far, it appears that the role includes creating a budget, signing on players, registering them with relevant leagues, collecting payments, making payments on behalf of the team.
Does the club normally provide any assistance/guidance (does this depend on a club or is there a fairly standard way to split the responsibilities)? What are some things to be aware of?
Thank you.
Some clubs provide guidance. Some don't. Your best guide is probably the previous treasurer, or a treasurer from a different team who might be willing to spend thirty minutes with you.
I strongly recommend you try to get your club to sign up with ground work (https://www.ground.work/) - it makes collecting payments a whole lot easier.
Oh and some clubs do a lot more of the budget tracking for you than others. In some cases you are entirely on your own - in others you are just asked to check a monthly report of expenses.

... and occasionally embezzling funds. Kidding, kidding. Yes it is a thankless job as is team manager. You spend almost as much time as the coach, get none of the enjoyment, and don’t get paid.

Creating a budget, collecting payments, making payments--just anything involving $$. Registering the team with relevant leagues/tournaments should be handled by someone else other than the team treasurer.

+1, such a thankless job. Always a token parent you have to hunt down for money and responses. They are usually the ones who are also late to every game and practice.
