For the first time
in British softball history, all seven GB national teams -- six fastpitch teams plus the GB Slowpitch Team -- will be playing in official ESF or ISF tournaments overseas next summer. And two of those teams -- plus a GB Development Team that will also play overseas in 2013 -- are looking for Team Managers.
Three Managers
The teams that need Managers are:
-- The GB Women's Fastpitch Team -- the team will compete in European Women's Championships from 7-13 July in Prague. The Head Coach will be Hayley Scott.
-- The GB Minime (U-13) Girls' Fastpitch Team -- the team will compete in the ESF Massimo Romeo Youth Cup, formerly the ESF Minime Championships, in Collechio, near Parma in Italy, from 13-17 August. The Head Coach will be Caroline Champion.
-- The London Cubs -- this is the GB Under-13 Development Team, and it will either compete in the Massimo Romeo Youth Cup or in a European Little League Tournament, date and venue to be confirmed. A Head Coach for this team is still to be appointed, but is is currently being directed by Caroline Champion.
More information
Softball National Team Managers work in a close relationship with the Head Coach and other staff members, and also with the organisers of the tournament that the team will attend. The Team Manager is responsible for setting up travel, accommodation, food and other arrangements and logistics before the team travels, managing all of these areas during the tournament, and keeping an account of team income and expenditure.
