The Team Manager
A. Team Manager Responsibilities
The success of the Intramural Sports Program depends
largely on the leadership qualities and interests of the Team Manager. Team
Managers organize teams and individuals for competition and recreation in
Intramural Sports leagues prior to the beginning of each season. There is,
however, more responsibility to being a Team Manager than simply sending an
e-mail or signing your name on an application. The Team Manager must serve as a
liaison between the Intramural Sports Office and his team.
As a player, the Team Manager is held to a higher standard.
Team Managers should set an example for teammates by playing within the spirit
of the rules and exhibiting a high level of sportsmanship. Furthermore, Team
Managers should attempt to address player conduct situations and incidents
involving their teams before game Officials must step in to deal with the
situation. Together, we can help make Intramural Sports the most enjoyable
Recreational Sports experience possible.
The Team Manager is also our link to his team. Team
Managers relay important dates and information to the rest of their team and
inform teammates of all the information included in this Intramural Sports
Handbook.
Verification of player eligibility is also an important
Team Manager responsibility. Team Managers should familiarize themselves with
all eligibility rules, as ultimately they are responsible for ensuring all
members of their team are eligible to participate in Intramural Sports.
If you have any questions regarding games, scheduling or
general information, please feel free to contact your Sport Supervisor in the
Intramural Sports Office. Sport Supervisors may be reached at (970) 247-7575.
B. Team Manager's Meetings
The week before each season begins, Team Manager's Meetings
will be held to inform Team Managers of current Intramural Sports policies and
procedures.
These meetings are mandatory, failure to attend results in
the loss of your ability to protest or reschedule any Intramural Sports
activity. More information concerning the day, time, and location of these
meetings will be distributed to all Team Managers. Generally, Team Manager's
Meetings are held the Tuesday evening before each season begins.
C. Sport Rules
Sport rules and Co-Ed modifications for all sports may be
obtained via the Intramural Sports Website at www.fortlewis.edu/rec/im.
Rules are also located outside the Intramural Office.
D. League Schedules
Team Managers should check the Intramural Sports Website
for their team’s schedule on a weekly basis. The website can be accessed
through www.fortlewis.edu/rec/im.
Regular-season schedules will be posted in the Intramural
Office by 5:00 p.m. the Friday before each season starts. It is the Team
Manager's responsibility to check the schedule regularly.
