What's a TEAM MOM? It's a rewarding and fulfilling experience!

Basically, TEAM MOMS organize, communicate, plan and implement ideas, events and activities that the parents and coaches determine will benefit the team throughout the season, as well as act as the liason with the EXECUTIVE MOMS. The role of a TEAM MOM can be as big or small as the coach and the TEAM MOM decide on. You can assist the coaches, be the party planner, the team manager or be the go-to-person. TEAM MOMS can wear several hats!

Talk to your coach, preferably by phone/email, (rather than on a busy game day in the crowded dressing room). Does he want you to:

• organize a drink /snack schedule?
• organize a schedule of all games and practices?
• communicate team news to parents?
• make a door sign for the dressing room with the team logo (a colour photocopy of the jersey logo) so parents and team can easily find the dressing room on games/practice day
• plan team parties?
• coordinate the locker/dressing room schedule for Atom divison and older (sorry dads - no men allowed in the dressing rooms while girls change into and out of gear)
• plan tournaments or would he prefer if you do the research for him?
• organize a list of players names, jersey numbers, parents names, phone numbers, email addresses?

The biggest tip we can offer you is to communicate, communicate, communicate! Parents are happier when they know what's going on.
 
Have any questions? Feel free to contact any member of the EXECUTIVE MOMS, and check back here often for updates on our many activities.

Have a great 2008-2009 season!!
