ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES
The CWC Soccer Club has Trainers and Parent Managers.
TRAINERS
Our trainers are professional coaches who we pay to train our players and run our matches, including substitutions and lineups.
PARENT MANAGERS
Parent Managers are not coaches. We pay for professional trainers, so you don't have to worry about that! PMs are volunteers who manage the administration of the team.
That includes:
- Printing a roster for each game
- Keeper of the player cards
- Paying the ref's each game (we provide that to you)
- Communicating with the opposing teams around: home/away jerseys, where to park, bathrooms, bleachers, rescheduling rainouts
- Communicating with the parents on the team about rainouts, practices, etc
- Recording final scores in the league software
No soccer experience needed, but some technical experience helps.
