Responsibility

Description

Team Roster / Phoning

The Team Parent should receive a roster from the Coach. It is suggested you provide a handout to all players/team families consisting of at least family last name and contact information (home phone and/or e-mail). Typically, the team parent assists the coach in making calls to the team families regarding a rescheduled or canceled game or practice.

Practice

The team parent should help the coach in making it clear to all parents

·      a parent or guardian should be present and/or available by phone during practice in case of an emergency 

·      Water should i Water should be brought to each practice and game

* No smoking or pets is permitted on any Manalapan field.

Uniforms

Each player receives a shirt from the MSC that is the same color for your team.  If the size needs to be changed, please advise the Purchasing Chairperson.  Each player is responsible for buying and wearing black shorts, black socks, shin guards and cleats.  All players are required to play with shin guards and soccer cleats for both practices and games.

Snack Schedule

Snacks are normally given out to the younger age groups, U-5 - U10 through a snack schedule that the Team Parent creates for the games in the season. Each family on the team should be assigned a game in which to bring a snack to be given out to all players at the end of the game. The snack normally consists of a drink and “fun” food, but should always be easy to carry-and-go.

**Please distribute the snacks either at half time or after the game, make sure that the field is cleaned up afterwards, and due to allergies, please refrain from giving out anything with nuts.

End of Season Party

 Not mandatory, but always nice to do to say 'thanks' to the coach and give out the player participation trophies that the MSC provides.
