Head Coaches,
I'm looking for insight on the different types of Program Responsibilities that you divide between your staff. In the past, I had my hand in everything and it took up too much of my time and nothing was completed to the extent that I wanted it to, namely because I didn't give the responsibility to my staff.
Now that I'm older and wiser, and at a different school, I want to divide the big responsibilities up. The following is a list that I can come up with, but I need a little help coming up with others. Thanks for any input.
High School Summer Camp Youth Summer Camp Fundraising (Adrenaline Card) Summer Strength & Conditioning Golf Outing Fundraiser

We have one coach who is the "Communications Officer". He is the one responsible to send information that needs to go out to parents and/or players via email or text. Who collects any forms that get turned in? Who collects any money turned in from fund raisers? Do you have an assistant who is the liaison between the football program and the booster club? the faculty? Just to name a few.....

If you don't have an equipment manager, you need to get one.

From what I've experienced at my school, I can tell you that we have a guy who takes care of equipment like it is a mission from God. He's a guy who's son played at the program just over 20 years ago. The coaches helped and impacted his son in such a way that he was just volunteered his time since then so that he can be a part of the program and community. It's an AMAZING time saving deal. Go see Joe!! haha. need a mouth piece, or air in your helmet, or need a new chin strap, or have a torn up practice jersey? Go see Joe. He also does a GREAT job working with the student managers on the team. If there isn't water bottles in the places they need to be, coaches are like "hey, no big deal, we'll tell guys to run to where the water is." Joe tells the managers that they need to get their stuff together and make sure the boys have water, haha. I can't imagine not having him.
He gets free t-shirts, sweats/sweatshirts, coaching shirts, etc. etc. etc.. He's got the rights to do pretty much what he wants. You had better not be a player who he catches mistreating a helmet. Or any other equipment for that matter. his up-down total often exceeds what I give to players, haha.
And for coaches, don't you dare let him know that you are doing something from his job description. Don't dare size someone up for shoulder pads without him being there to size them and sign out those pads on the list. haha. We have a trouble getting filmers to film the Friday night games. He finds kids to do it. He teaches them what the end-product film should look like and how they accomplish that.
Doesn't know all that much about football other than winning and losing, but he just loves what he does and being around the kids and being a part of something that helped mold his son. Just a great guy to be around.
I guess what I'm saying is don't turn down great help.

As someone who was asked to be the tech guy, you probably should get a tech guy. I was all stuck doing it because I was the youngest on staff. I mainly just handle Hudl and make sure our Echo/Sideline is working before the game.

I was the equipment coach at one stop, in addition to varsity OL, Varsity co-OC, JV HC, assistant HC (boss wasn't in the building so i mostly drove the ship).
I liked it though because I knew who had what, where everything was, what we needed, and could have my own organization system.

Do you allow kids to fill that role, or do you rely on an adult? I'm scared about equipment walking out the door because of kids doing favors for their buddies.

Everywhere I have been it is a trusted adult. Even if the kid is super trustworthy they can succumb to peer pressure.
