Manager 101

Provide steady flow of information to the team about weekly practices, games, upcoming tournaments, other events. This can be done over email and/or group text messaging. Check out our Crossbar walkthrough here.

Manage score sheets & rosters labels, including making the team roster labels to be used for scoresheet (4 per game), collecting the scoresheets after games and keeping them for the year, & submitting scoresheets to the CHC representative

For our home games each team is responsible for having a person run the game clock. Some parents enjoy doing it and play music in between whistles. As manager see if there are parents who would like to run the clock and do the scoresheet each weekend.

If no volunteers, make a schedule rotating families through. Or, make a shared spreadsheet where families can sign up.

Clock instructions are written out and in the penalty box area.

Register team, make payment(s), arrange hotel blocks, team building events, make swag bags/door hangers, collect signed releases, provide USA hockey roster/labels to the tournament director.

Conduct team fundraising if your team desires to do that. This should be done in conjunction with the HYHA Director of Fundraising
