Ever wanted to volunteer to coach or manage a team? SCAA is always looking for parents and other adults to coach!
Here's a list of descriptions of each coaching position we have available for volunteers at SCAA.
MANAGER
The Manager is the "Head Coach" in charge of a team. Managers are responsible for setting up practices, game day line ups & player positions, as well as other administrative duties. They are assisted by a Coach Eligible and other Assistant Coaches. Managers also recruit a Team Parent Volunteer to help with the administrative duties (like getting uniforms numbered, handling the raffle, snack schedules, etc.) so Managers can concentrate with on-field activities. In Foal/Shetland the Manager is automatically assigned a team and parents may request to be placed on his/her team, and the Player Agent of that division will try to assign all requests to the Manager. Again that is only for tee ball, but for all divisions from Pinto on up, the Manager will be responsible to select their team in the division's draft. Team Manager's player(s) in the division are automatically assigned to their team in the draft.
The Manager position is background checked thru SCAA.
COACH ELIGIBLE
Coach Eligible is the Primary Assistant Coach or the "Secondary Head Coach". Coach Eligible assists the Team Manager with duties as needed and fills in for the Manager should he not be able to attend an event. Coach Eligible's player(s) are automatically placed on their team in the draft.
The Coach Eligible position is background checked thru SCAA.
ASSISTANT COACH
Assistant Coaches help the Manager and Coach Eligible as needed, usually acting as base coaches during games and other various duties during practices and games. Assistant Coaches are assigned to their child's team as they are drafted.
