• Team Manager Duties

1. Code of Conduct: Hand out to parents the first night of the league to be read and signed. Children will NOT be allowed to participate the second week without this form signed and turned in to the team manager. The team manager holds these forms for the season.

2. Volunteers: Create a schedule of parent volunteers for Hall monitoring, Score keeping, timekeeper. (See the list of responsibilities for each.) Verify all parents have a copy of this schedule and thus will be there for their night and time of work.

3. Volunteers: Verify weekly that parents have met their volunteer obligations. If they refuse to work their scheduled time or task or do not show up then call the league director and their check will be cashed.

At the end of the season the team manager is responsible for informing the league director of any parents who did not fulfill their volunteer obligations. Checks are not returned to parents. They are shredded.

3. Uniforms: The league director will get the team uniforms to each Team Manager to be distributed to the players. Please give each player the size their parent signed them up for. There is one extra uniform per team for late arrivals. Please keep this in your possession until the end of the season.

4. Questionnaire: Disperse and gather any questionnaires the MAA Board or League director has for the parents. These are important as this information is used to make changes and upgrades in the basketball program.

5. Safety: Remind the players and parents to wipe their feet and do their best to stay off the court for the safety of the players. ALL Players should have dry court shoes that they carry to the games.

6. Parent Meeting: It is highly recommended the coach and team manager hold a parent meeting within the first 2 weeks of the season to cover all topics necessary and introduce yourselves and explain your philosophies. If done the first week, this is a good time to have the code of conducts read and signed. This meeting can be held during the first 20 minutes or the last 20 minutes of the night. The assistant coaches can run the practice.

• Hall Monitor Duties

This is a very important position that is required by MAA and the school to maintain maximum order, eliminate damage to the school, damage to student’s work displayed in the halls and to eliminate injury to young children playing unattended in the hallways or the stage area.

- There must be at least one adult monitoring the halls at all times. To eliminate one parent missing the entire game, one parent from each team should take half the game. The parents are expected to be walking the halls, stage area and restrooms NOT watching the game from the door.

- Prevent running, fighting, ball throwing, basketball or football in the halls and in
in the stage area.

- Keep children from climbing on sports equipment or the rock wall on the stage.

- Escort unruly or young children back to their parents.

- Monitor the bathrooms and clean up any hand towels on the floor. (This does not include unstopping clogged toilets. Leave these for the custodians. Keep the children away from the mess.)

- Hall monitors have the duty of putting all the chairs back on the chair rack at the end of the night. Encourage the parents to put their own chairs away.

- School aged children are allowed to sit in the halls and talk, color, play card games or do homework. We are not the Gestapo, but we need to keep a sense of order so we do not loose the use of the Merton Schools for our MAA activities. DO NOT be afraid to take children to their parents and ask them to keep them by their side. WE ARE NOT babysitters.
