Team Manager Policies & Communication Chain

Team managers are the first to be alerted of schedule changes. We wait 24 hours for league and tournament directors to revise the schedule and make changes as needed, as many teams will issue their reschedule requests, etc. within the first 24 hours. Following the 24-hour wait period, we will inform parents of the latest team updates.

  • Each team should have at least one-two team managers.
  • HPSA does all player and team registrations.
  • Please communicate league concerns with HPSA Adim. The leagues process over 300 teams, so they have asked to have one point of contact with the club.
  • Team roster/recruiting:
    • Ask prospects to fill out the team inquiry form on the HP Soccer Academy’s home page, this generates a practice email invite to be sent to the prospect
    • Parents can be some of the best scouts— we encourage team managers to support our recruiting efforts! Beyond that, on the sideline at practice or at games, team managers should encourage other team parents to support our recruiting efforts.All roster decisions are made by the coaches.
  • Game liaison (game report, ID cards, ref fees, post scores etc.)
  • Team liaison to Academy (uniforms, policy questions, parent input, supplemental communication).
  • Demonstrate and direct team parents to check their game schedules, attendance status, and the team chats on their HPSA Sports Team Sync app!

Communication flow: Parents>TM>Coach>Leadership.

 

 Negative behavior will not be tolerated from parents or players. Disciplinary steps:

  1. HPSA, TM, and parent meeting.
  2. If necessary, the parent will be asked to stay away from the events.
  3. If the player’s behavior is in question, the parent will be asked to observe their player’s behavior at events.
  4. If the behavior has not changed and/or shows signs of little improvement, they will be asked to leave HPSA.
