On The Team

I got cajoled into coaching / managing a youth sports team. What are some tips for me to make sure this is successful. We want the team to have fun (and win along the way) and I want to make sure I manage a few type-A parents correctly.

1) get your schedule online as quickly as possible – there are several sites that offer this including http://www.qlubb.com, http://www.centered.com – and of course Yahoogroups (however, Yahoogroups interface is a little difficult for average users)
2) maintain a roster of the kids with contact information. Put this roster online so that everyone will have an updated version of it. This will also be useful for phone trees.
3) get parent volunteers to help with uniforms, fundraising, snacks
4) get online RSVPs to know what players will be attending the games

For me, it’s supporting your team and cheering them on no matter how down and out they are. Always believing that they can one day win the championship and achieve great things. Even if another team has won 10 championships in the last 2 decades and my team has not even won once in its history, for example, I would still support my team.

BQ: Which sports team do you support? I support Utah Jazz from NBA.

Thank you very much.

Thinking they’re the best even when they suck hardcore all season.
Luckily, the Yankees won, so they did not disappoint.

any advise or details? All the websites i’ve been to tell me all about how to become an "Athletic Trainer" for a professional sports team, but not personal training…

any people out there that are in the field?

Get your accreditation in that sport and work your way up levels of sports teams, good luck !

Due to the removal of the original video by MLB Advanced Media, I had to cut the #7 and #5 clip, which included baseball footage. They were replaced by stills of the scene.
Anyway, here is a second take of the best sports fight between teammates.

i was wondering if anyone knew of a website or could tell me some info on what tax breaks a company can get when sponsoring a sports team in the uk? can you give some quantifiable answers? e.g. company pays £10,000 to hmrc and can offset £5,000 of that by giving it to a local sports team

The general principle is that it depends upon what the sponsor hopes to get out of the sponsorship. in order to be tax deductible a sponsorship agreement should make it clear that the sole purpose behind the negotiation of the agreement is publicity for the sponsor (advertising at the club’s venues and/or on the team strip, etc.) The danger arises when the sponsor or the sponsor’s directors if a company hope to gain some personal benefit from the deal or some benefit that they can pass on to customers in the form of entertainment – season tickets to games etc. in which case HMRC following the decision in Executive Network (Consultants) Limited v. O’Connor will disallow the claim

The Detroit Pistons have advance squad called Automotion. Is being a dancer of cheerleader for a pro sports team a full time job, or do these woman have day jobs to help supplement their income?

No, it is not full time, and they don’t even get paid much. It’s like a side job.

I’m 19 years old and I’m looking to get a job, I’m currently enrolled at college. I really like sports and therefore I’m looking to become a ballboy for a professional sports team. I contacted the corporate office and they transfered me to the equiment manager and I left a message, do you think it is hard to become a ballboy? do they get paid? do they travel with the team? any other information?

thanks
Any other suggestions about how to get an entry level job with a sports team?
