PAASL Coordinator Responsibilities

Thanks for considering to volunteer to be a team coordinator! We've made it easy for you to give a small amount of your time to help ensure the league operates in a smooth and organized fashion by designing a lightweight set of duties, with easy access to League organizers when you need assistance. If selected, some of the duties you'll take responsibility for are:

• Making contact with each member of your roster to inform them of game times and locations. We have a robust website [http://www.paasl.org] which contains most, if not all the information you'll need to administer your team. Also, the vast majority of registrants have e-mail!
• Ensure players have passes and stickers.
• Ensure each member of your roster has a copy or access to the team roster, game and refreshment schedule.
• Distribute team supplies (jersies, socks, etc.).
• Ensure a line-up card with jersey numbers is ready and given to the official at game time.
• Ensure the first aid kit is at each game.
• If you are home team (listed first, green jersey) for the first or last game of the day on a field, your team is responsible for putting up/taking down the corner flags, which are all kept at the JLS fields (nets are permanently fastened to the goals effective Summer, 2005).
• Gain commitment from a team member to carry out your weekly duties in the event you are going to be absent.
• At the end of each game, request those in attendance to help collect any litter that is left behind.
• Last, the coordinator serves as a representative of the league, and is requested to assist the league in supporting league principles such as:
  • It is a recreational league (hard tackles, red cards are frowned upon) and standings are intentionally not kept.
  • Substitutions should occur so all players get roughly equal time on the field. Rostered players should always get preference over 'ringers'.
  • Help the team respect the officials decisions. They are in charge of the game. No exceptions. Support the officials efforts to squelch any rare inter-player or inter-team friction.

Again, thank you for volunteering to be a team coordinator. It's not a big job, but it helps us maintain the quality of the PAASL experience. Please let the league know if your interest when your are registering. Volunteers make the league possible!
