ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

First off, depending on your head-coach the roles and responsibilities for a manager differ.  Be sure to talk to your head-coach and figure out how hands-on they want you to be versus what they want their role in team management to be.  Depending on that line you can narrow down or broaden responsibilities.  At the very least that bar will include:

All Level(s) Traveling Level(s) ONLY

For more information about above please use articles below (see below).  Beyond the list above, you should discuss the communications with your team to figure out how much the coach wants you to be hands-on as well as with parents and how hands-on they want you to be.  As a good rule of thumb, the kids and their development are the Coach's responsibility, you should take away any burden that keeps them from achieving their goals.
