What are the  responsibilities of a team mom?

• You will probably be responsible for collecting money and forms for trophies, plaques, and pictures.
• You may be responsible for collecting money and forms for a fundraiser.
• You will probably be responsible for collecting money and buying gifts for the players and coaches at the end of the season.
• You may be expected to decide on what type of team party the team will have after the season. See the notes below concerning team parties.

• You will get to be part of the team. The team mom should receive a team plaque or award just like the coaches.
• You will get the coaches' undying devotion.
• Your child will get to see a real role model in action.

•  In some cases the team mom will take up a collection of enough money to provide drinks or Popsicles after each practice. In the summer almost anything cold will work. However, many teams take turns via a rotation method on this chore.

• That varies from team to team, and from league to league. However most coaches do expect something and would probably be embarrassed if nothing was given to them at a team banquet. The same would also hold true for too expensive of a gift.  A sentimental gift which reminds them of the team is best. Some of the best gifts are: Plaques with pictures of the team, a ball that is autographed by the players, and a coffee mug  autographed by all the team members, or a  trophy and/or metal, or a pen/desk set. New products include clear acrylic coaches clip boards with team name, logo and a message engraved on it.

• Fine online internet Stores like Rousseau's Sporting Goods & Awards, where you and others on the team can view samples online of sports and awards  items you need.
