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.

The Team Coach and the Team Manager are an integral part of the team and are required to work in concert and in support of each other to uphold the “Code of Behaviour” amongst themselves and players. Team Coaches and Team Managers are also expected to create an environment whereby players can produce their best, be proud to represent their Club and enjoy all aspects of the event.

If anyone involved in Team Management breaches any of the obligations outlined in this document they will be subject to disciplinary proceedings before PHFC which may result in the termination of that person’s employment or association with PHFC.
