WHAT ARE THE TEAM RESPONSIBILITIES?

Teams are required to have 2 board representatives to the Rangers board of directors one of which is required to attend the monthly board meetings held on the first Wednesday of the month. The meetings generally last 11/2 hours. In the event that neither board rep can attend the meeting, a parent from the team is required to attend so that important information can be disseminated to the teams parents and players. This is to ensure that all teams have an equal voice in the operations of the club. Teams are also required to have 2 representatives to the Sunbelt committee and all parents are required to help organize and administer the tournament. In appreciation for this commitment a portion of the Sunbelt proceeds are shared with our Advanced league and Option 1 teams.
