The Team Manager will be a volunteer parent who is responsible for the administrative aspects of the team including finances, collecting player fees, tournament and league registration, rostering, uniform orders, etc. 

There should be at least two volunteer parents on the team who have their NJYS ‘F’ license or higher level license and are thus qualified to be an informal assistant coach and can serve as the team’s “head coach for a day” in a last minute emergency situation whereby the professional cannot be present for a practice(s) or a game(s).

The Team Manager ensures league games, tournaments and training are not planned or scheduled on dates where it is known the HC cannot attend and coordinates any communication between the HC and the team, including expectations of players on top level teams, times and locations for all matches and training sessions, etc.

Team Managers have additional responsibilities including as follows:

• In February of each year, they must send out a minimum of twenty (20) personal invitations to Premier level team Head Coaches inviting them to participate in the Sunburst Tournament.  The goal being to ensure the top flight is truly a Premier Level flight;
• For U-15 and older teams, assists the Head Coach in the preparation and maintenance of a team and player summary information booklet, contacting college coaches on behalf of interested players, enrolling the team in tournaments and friendly matches that expose the players to college coaches. 

Team managers are not expected to:

• Solve issues that parents may have related to soccer.
• Coach the team, either at games or practices.  However, they can be part of the pool of volunteers who serve as informal assistant coaches.
