Parents

Team Parent

LBYSO encourages every coach to enlist a Team Parent, so the coach can focus on coaching.
  • What does a Team Parent do?

    The Team Parent, or Team Manager, handles the non-coaching jobs so the coach can focus on skills, practices and game management. That might include:

    • Uniform distribution
    • Getting a team banner
    • The snack schedule
    • Organizing the end-of-season event
    • Other non-coaching duties
  • How do I become one?

    Any adult member can be a Team Parent. Tell your coach you'd like to help. Some returning coaches already have a Team Parent, and some coaches will ask the whole team for a volunteer.

  • Are there requirements?

    Two: a background check, which is a simple online form, and SafeSport training. Federal law requires SafeSport certification for any adult working with children under 18. LBYSO covers the training fee, and it renews each year with a short, free refresher.
