What is an Athletic Team Liaison?

  • The athletic team liaison is a friend or supporter of a program at the CRLS who will support the coach to run and strengthen the program.

  • Coaches and the team liaison will work together to identify the best ways to support the team.

  • Each sport and team has a distinctive set of circumstances and given volunteer time is limited, there’s no right way for the liaison to support the team.

  • FOCA will set up meetings with team liaisons, at the beginning of each season, to connect the group, provide an introduction to the role and answer any questions.

Athletic Team Liaison - Possibilities

Support the Team

  1. Organize team fundraisers and encourage parent participation in all athletics fundraisers, including reminders to parents about the seasonal FOCA fund raiser and other team specific fundraiser events.
  2. Help coaches with the collection and documenting of money, received and transferring funds to FOCA for deposit into the team account.
  3. Attend FOCA meetings before and during the season, to get Community support for you and the team.
  4. Represent the team and families when providing input into discussions on FOCA activities.

Support the Supporters

  1. Establish a team contact list including e-list (include just parents/coaches OR parent/coaches/players), with support from coaches and the athletic office.
  2. Encourage parent attendance at games/meets and carpooling – and remind parents about game times and especially away game locations (see the Arbiter webpage).

Support Team Spirit

  1. Recruit parents to organize team social event(s), like team early or post-season dinner or service project with players, coaches and parents. These events can significantly advance team development, sense of belonging, fun and inclusion.
  2. Pass along important messages from coaches, Athletic Director and FoCA – determine with coaches what they may want� to communicate directly with families via email, and when they want parent assistance. Have a strategy that includes� freshmen and JV teams (if applicable).
  3. Model and encourage appropriate fan/parent behavior - the CRLS Athletics handbook suggests: ‘Be a fan, not a fanatic.’ �We are modeling sportsmanship for our children, and consider that others judge our city and school based on their �experience with parent/fans.
  4. Write or recruit others to write about the team
  5. Identify a team photographer for team sharing and newspaper or social media posting (email Jen)
