I wanted to know how you structure your student managers.
How Many, what levels, what are their responsibilities. Off season what do they do? I am in need of getting some student managers this next year to help take care of things like practice video, setting up drills, etc....

well i am a student manager so i'll speak from experience...i don't do anything in the offseason but i just film games...simply that during the games and then convert it into DVD for the coaches, to trade, and for all about 40 players...then our second angle camera is done later by the coach...hope this helps some...

At the last high school I coached at, they constantly talked about student mangers, but it never became a reality. Why? Because there aren't too many H.S. kids who want to just do that stuff for nothing in return. Especially in today's environment, with so many kids holding down after school jobs and such. What can you do to GET a student manager? That needs to be decided first, before you start thinking of duties. Just my experience

It's funny here. each varsity team has 2-4 student managers. and some JV teams do too. we had about 3 student managers show up on a daily basis (out of 5) they did not really have set responsibilities but some of their duties included: Taking out and picking up equipment. coaches set up the stations the way they wanted... filming practice.. bring out water and making sure the bottles were full.. washed uniforms.. getting the HC's practice plan which he forgot 1/3 of the time.. they also would bring their homework out once school started and worked on it during the down times...During the games.. one of the girls was the ballboy(girl) the others worked water and got yelled at by me..LOL yea, we had some problems.. flirting.. f'ing around in the golf cart but overall it was nice to have them. The HC treated them well and woe (sp) be the person who disrespected one them or gave them a hard time

Our student managers do a variety of things...when they show up. Water and ball boys are the main things. Setting up the field prior to the game, and breaking everything down. On occasion we've had a student help out with filming, but a parent usually did it. Next year I plan on using as many as I can.

Pretty much what I did was try to talk to kids who were on the bubble of wanting to play football or not, (knowing they would never see the field) and told them it was a easy way to get their varsity letter and at the same time be apart of the team. On varsity level what I had them do primarily was: Film practices set up camera and sometime film games set up drills get out equipment fill up water bottles and help clean up field after practices I told them under no circumstances were they going to do someone else's laundry or get treated like slaves by the players. I made sure they were treated with respect and tried to take care of them as much as possible (paid for their meals at halftime of our games, free gear, put in the program, etc). If they were kids who were seriously interested in football I tried to teach them little basic things while I was cutting up film or let them help me during drills (i.e. snapping the ball during get off drills for DL). We also have kids from the 7/8th grade team who are our ball/water boys on game nights so if I have a kid whos responsible enough I make him the "head manager" in charge of those kids of game night. Gives them a little ownership and takes away babysitting responsiblities from the coaches
