So it's day one and you have to get started. Here are the most important things you need to get done immediately:
1. EMAIL LIST: Create an email distribution list of the team parents and get an email out to the team with a quick welcome, your team page link and your first practice time. Be sure to tell parents about any required forms that need to be turned in.
2. FORMS: Collect missing forms as directed by the SLPHA registrar as well as signed cell phone and locker room policies.
3. UPDATE YOUR TEAM PAGE: Your team page will be the single-source of information distribution apart from your emails so it's critical to have it up to date.
Initial Setup: Coaches and Team Mgr contact information, Team roster, and tournaments (unless posted by the association)
If you don't have team page edit permissions, please request access from your current
webmaster, indicating your team (e.g., Squirt B1).
4. MEET THE COACH / TEAM: The goal of this meeting is for the coach to discuss what they expect of the players and give the parents the opportunity to ask the coaches questions about the season and plans. You can use this event to collect forms, present and approve a team budget, and collect team fund checks.
5. CREATE SCORE SHEET LABELS: Roster stickers with player & coach information for all district games & scrimmages.
