Team Management - A Summary 

Team Management includes the Coach and Manager who will accompany teams to both training and games. As integral parts of Team Management, it is imperative that both the Coach and Manager are familiar with, and understand, each other’s role. Each member of Team Management will be supplied an ID card that they are expected to display during training and game times.

 

Together, the Coach’s and Manager’s primary responsibility is to the players. Such responsibility includes their development as a team, and as an individual, including their welfare according to the above Objections and Expectations. PHFC acknowledges that the supervision of players is paramount. As such, either the Coach or Manager must be in the vicinity of the players during training and game time.
