Manager's Notes

Managers

Minutes from Mangers' Meeting of Sept 30, 2009

The team manager is an important component in creating the flow of communication, not only with the team (players, parents & coaches), but between the Divisional Managers, other teams, referees, officials, and the Juan de Fuca Minor Hockey Association.  The role of team manager can be complex and thus organizational skills, tact and courtesy are essential qualities.

By taking on the operation aspects of a team, the manager enables the coaches to focus on player development and on-ice instruction.  The manager may also act as a coordinator within the team if there are other parent volunteers involved (ie-treasurer, safety person, phone person, etc.).  The manager reports to the head coach. 

Once teams are chosen, if you are interested in becoming a manager, submit your name to the coach.   
1.  All Managers must have the Respect in Sport Course (formerly Speak Out).
2.  All Managers must complete a criminal record check.

Regarding the Respect in Sport Course, this is a team cost, as is the HSP Course.  Once the team manager and the hockey safety person is chosen, it is the team's responsibility to cover the cost of these courses.  Coaches courses will be reimbursed by JDFMHA only after the course is completed, ie-the homework portion as well. 

Regarding your criminal record check - a letter is needed from our Association by the RCMP to ensure that you are a volunteer for JDFMHA.  Without this letter, there is a $50 charge for a criminal record check.  To get this letter, contact jdfmha@shaw.ca.   Criminal record checks need to be completed every two years.


Basic Manager Duties:
1.  Team Meetings
2.  Volunteers/Delegation
3.  Team Rules/Safety
4.  Organizing Games (ie-timekeeper, scorekeeper, referees)
5.  Applying for Tournaments
6.  Organizing Travel
7.  Team Activities
8.  Complete game sheets and ensure the game sheet is delivered to the game referee at least five minutes before every home game.
8.  Liaise between coaches, parents, divisional managers.

Please Note:  Be sure all players are eligible to play at JDFMHA; if you play an ineligible player, your team can be qualified.  Check the list the Registar provides you with to ensure all players on your team are registered.  VIAHA checks this list as well.
