How do I manage a sports team?
Friday, May 21st, 2010I got cajoled into coaching / managing a youth sports team. What are some tips for me to make sure this is successful. We want the team to have fun (and win along the way) and I want to make sure I manage a few type-A parents correctly.
1) get your schedule online as quickly as possible – there are several sites that offer this including http://www.qlubb.com, http://www.centered.com – and of course Yahoogroups (however, Yahoogroups interface is a little difficult for average users)
2) maintain a roster of the kids with contact information. Put this roster online so that everyone will have an updated version of it. This will also be useful for phone trees.
3) get parent volunteers to help with uniforms, fundraising, snacks
4) get online RSVPs to know what players will be attending the games
