Team Manager Guide

A Team Manager is a voluntary role and is usually a parent within the team. While Team Managers are given as much support as possible from the Panthers committee, it is largely an independent role where the appointed person is responsible for looking after the players off court requirements and game day requirements not related to coaching.

Team Managers are responsible for:

  • Administrative support to the Team and the Coach:
    • The Team Manager is the liaison between the team, coach, parents and the Panthers committee / administration.  
  • Communicating important information to players their and families:
    • All communication is done electronically through TeamApp. Team Managers are responsible for checking that all parents/carers have signed up to TeamApp correctly and that they are aware of how to check for important game and training information.
    • Team Managers are responsible for communicating all game and training information to families.
  • Arranging a scorer for each game:
    • Create a parent scoring roster using team player lists as a guide – ensuring fair rotations throughout the season so that scoring does not fall onto one family from week to week.
  • Assisting Panthers BC’s Registrar and Team Coordinators to ensure the contact details of each player is correct and up to date.
  • Ensuring all players have the correct playing uniform for gameday.
  • Being a point of contact for any issues or concerns within the team and escalate to the team Coach and/or club committee if necessary.
  • Promoting to parents, players and coaching staff the Panthers Code of Conduct.
  • Assisting the coach in ensuring the safety of all players throughout every game.
  • Ensuring that they know where First Aid is available at each court.
  • Other duties as required by the Panthers BC, players and parents. For example, Team Managers may like to organise informal team events at the end of the season.
