I'm a team manager... now what?!
Signing up to be a team manager may seem overwhelming or confusing at first. DON'T WORRY! We are here to help you and guide you every step of the way!
Each DI team must have at least one adult (18 years of age or older) registered as its team manager. The TM is generally responsible for training and offering guidance to the team. The TM may not work on the team challenge solution. The TMs responsibilities often include presenting the team challenge to the team, conducting brainstorming sessions to develop solutions to the team challenge, conducting and evaluating instant challenge practice sessions, helping the team obtain the materials and knowledge necessary to solve the team challenge, supervising practice sessions, accompanying the team to competitions, and representing the team should a problem occur.
The Team Manager can help the team by having guest speakers visit and talk about general principles that may be useful in solving the challenges, by showing films, and by suggesting resources that give the team basic techniques with which it may work. In short, a Team Manager is an adult facilitator, administrator, and supporter of a team.
No special skills or talents are necessary to be an Team Manager, and we provide training for new and returning managers. There is a time commitment to be a Team Manager: In addition to the time spent in team meetings (which may increase in the lead up to each tournament), Team Managers may spend between 1-2 hours per week on preparation, organization and communication tasks.
