First off, welcome new and returning managers. This guide was put together to help you get started managing your team. Before we begin, from all of us who have been in this role before, you are going to go through a bit of a roller-coaster of responsibilities. At the beginning of the year, you will be very busy. -- Between getting forms filled out, tournaments and district games scheduled the workload is very high. At the same time, it's crucial that you are on your game for this period of time. If you do this phase right, the rest of your season is very easy. If things go wrong, you'll find yourself having to fix harder problems. With that, let's walk-through the job. There are a bunch of us that have gone through this already, and we're always wiling to help you, so when in doubt, find an experienced manager at your level and consult with them on any issues that you have.
Good luck in your role, and best wishes on a great season.
