Thank you for volunteering as a team parent!!!
Attached is a list
of the responsibilities and a suggested time frame in which the tasks
might be completed. There is also a suggestion as to which tasks might
be delegated to other parents to help keep your job as team parent
manageable.
You will find your
main job will be to act as a liaison between coach, players, and
parents. Please feel free to call me with any questions you may have.
Thanks again for
volunteering your time and effort!!
La Sierra Soccer
Club is all about the KIDS!!!

So what does a Team
Parent do? ....
1.
Keep your parents and players informed and
participate!
BEFORE THE FIRST
GAME!
Ø
Make a
team roster. Include the player’s name, jersey #,
telephone #, and
parents/guardian’s names.
Ø
Assign
Jersey Numbers.
Collect all team
jersey to have numbers applied and distribute before the first game.
New players will need numbers applied to their jerseys. Returning
players may have a jersey and number. Make sure there are no duplicate
numbers. The Uniform Coordinator is Deanna Peterson, if you questions
please call Deanna at 916-863-1240.
Ø
Make
snack schedule. Snacks typically include
fruit at halftime
and a drink & snack at the end of
the game. It is
help to inquire if any of the soccer
a player has an
allergy to a particular kind of food/drink.
Ø
Game
Schedule & Maps
Your Team Coach will
receive a game schedule. The following link will provide game details:
http://www.mysoccerleague.com/ . We are under Capital
Valley Soccer.
Ø
Team
Banner
Find out at practice
if a banner already exists for your team.
If not make a team
banner
(or get someone else
to make one!)
Banners are
generally 3’ by 4’ or as large as 4’ by 5’ and include all the player
names or nick names. The banner will be the background for your team
photo.
Ø
Phone
Tree or Group e-mails
In the event of last
minute changes to the schedule, player/ parents must be notified. Make
a phone tree listing all the parents in the order that they should call
each other. If all your parents have e-mail and check it daily, make an
team e-mail group for easy communications.
Ø
Team
Photos
The date and time
for team photos will be announced. Each player will receive a team
photo and 2 individual 3” x 5” photos at no charge. Extras photos may
be purchased.
Ø
Help
during the games if needed. Have fun!! Display and encourage positive
spectator sportsmanship.
BEFORE NOVEMBER
Ø
Trophies
Trophies are
included in this year’s registration fees so there is no additional
cost. Compile a list of player names for the trophies and e-mail or
call list to Victoria West at
tammy_chabino@sbcglobal.net 0r 916-487-6609. Please check spelling
of all the names with the parents. Trophies should be distributed at
the end of the season party. Tammy Chabino will contact you with a date
and time for trophy pick-up.
Ø
Coaches Gift
Collect a small
contribution for the coaches’ gift (coach & assistant) is standard. A
coach plaque or gift card is a nice thank you gift. The Coaches are
volunteers and spend a lot of time and energy with your kids.
Ø
End of
the Season Party
Near the beginning
of October you will receive the 2nd half of the season’s
schedule. This is a good time to reserve a location and time for the
party. This is another job you may want to delegate to a helpful
parent. It is practical to plan it for the same day as the last
scheduled game. Plan early because pizza/party locations book up fast.
Most local pizzerias will give a “Soccer Team” discount of 10 to 15% off
the total bill if ordered in advance. A cake or cupcakes can be
provided by a parent volunteer or purchased through donations from the
team.
*
Some teams like to start a “quarter can” to help offset the cost of the
party. Keep a lidded can with a slot available at the games and ask for
a quarter donation for each goal the team scores.
