TEAM PARENT
Organizing and coordinating the team’s ''extra-soccer-curricular” activities and traditional rituals
Welcome!
Your participation as a Team Manager is invaluable to the operation of our soccer club. BAC encourages creativity and functionality to manage your team as smoothly as possible. Team Parent Meeting will be in late August at Oki Park in the evening
Collection of Money for Goals
Your team may choose to utilize a "goal jar" to collect change from spectators after each one of the goals scored by your team. The funds raised are generally used for the team's end-of-season party, trophies, etc.
Team Banner
Team Managers coordinate the development of a banner to represent the team and BAC at all the games and functions. Banners can be created by team members, parents, and friends, or ordered from vendors and they should be ready to display by the first season game. As a Team Manager, I always make sure that your banner represents your team spirit.
Snack Schedule
Half-time and end-of-the-game snacks are a great way to show support for your team and encourage unity. Once you get the season schedule, establishing and distributing a snack schedule is an easy way to provide nutritious snacks for the players and give them something to look forward to. Oranges are a tradition of youth soccer.
BAC Pictures, Fundraiser, and Apparel
Team Managers are the liaison between the team and the BAC Pictures, Fundraiser, and Apparel Coordinators. Functions include the collection of money for the club’s fundraiser and delivery of the products to the team's families.
End Of Season Party
Celebrate the end of a great season by organizing a party. Ideas are: pizza party, potluck; and venues such as bowling alleys, inflatable bouncing outlets, indoor soccer arenas, etc. This is the time to close out an unforgettable season and a good opportunity to recognize the team with well-deserved trophies.
Trophies
Team managers are responsible for ordering trophies at the end of the season. These are options of local businesses offering the services:
- Frank's Pro Shop
4400 San Juan ave. unit #6, Fair Oaks, 916-483-8659).

Coach's Recognition
The team may wish to honor the coaches' commitment to youth soccer with a small item commemorating the season. Team Managers coordinate the purchase of a plaque with the team’s picture, a trophy, or some other token of appreciation. |
