we have had a few parent team managers that became so invested with coach and club they found a way to get their kid all sorts of opportunities. unfortunately, kid was an average player and it upset most of the parent group, so became a problem. club should take care of all management responsibilities...parents should not be involved.

struggles with technology? it's 2021; hopefully he's able to connect with a technology-infused culture and i REALLY hope he's not helping them pursue college
Simmer down Karen. Not everyone is as savvy as you. He is a bit older and coaches a younger team. It's admin work that a TM can do to let the coach focus on coaching.
Spoken like a true incompetent adult coach. Many of these troglodytes couldn’t fill out a team registration from much less coach a team, but they’re being paid anyhow. Hence the TM role.
Spoken like a true Karen...keep complaining to make sure your child starts
Coach! I didn’t know you were on this forum. I didn’t know you know how to use a computing device. Now, if you can just learn what creating space and splitting the defense meant, I’d be mildly impressed.
I quit. You know more about technology, team management, and clearly have more tactical acumen than I do.
I missed something, are coaches now required to code the websites that are easy to use?

The people who seem to complain and whine about absolutely everything are almost all under the age of 35. The whining among the millennial and Gen y snowflakes is endless.

You seriously don't have the slightest clue what a club team manager does.

Our club doesn’t allow parent team managers. All organizing, scheduling, communications are done by the paid club employees

Quite a few teams at our club don't have a team manager. The coach does it. Op, why don't you volunteer?
