Manager’s Duties

What does the Manager do?
Many soccer clubs and coaches assign their team manager the duties of helping to
 complete, maintain and organize the necessary tasks of scheduling, paperwork and
communications to allow the coaches ample time to focus on coaching the players. They
serve as the liaison between the parents, committee, and coach in most matters, and work with
the treasurer and other team volunteers to make sure the team runs smoothly and efficiently.

Meetings
Mandatory attendance is required at the Sun City Striker Managers Meetings
(approx. 1 hr). Each manager will be the team representative for any issue that requires a vote.
They will then report back to the team families and coach regarding the program information.
