Op here, all interesting. Bit of a variation too. And are coach gifts common @xmas? Either individually or as a team group? Our group last year were mostly newcomers, including parent team manager, so it wasn't really discussed, although we did give a couple coaches a little something. Just curious if this is common

More than often coaches would get something at the end of the fall and spring season. Sometimes not the Fall but the parents would pool their money together and get the coach sometimes the team manager a gift or gift card.

My incentive as at team manager has always been to avoid having the disorganized, disengaged disaster of a manager, or the "assistant coach wannabee" type manager who can RUIN a kid's (and their family's) experience with club soccer. I saw both these kinds of horrible managers and the damage they can do to the experience in the first few years of my (several) kids' club teams. One team had a woman who couldn't text or e-mail unless she was at her work desk...another had a woman who constantly tried to insert herself into the conduct of the team--playing time, style of play (11 yo's!!!). Result was both teams IMPLODED with so many players leaving that I had to find my kids a new club or have them play "up" with older teams that didn't disintegrate Incentive enough not to go through that BS again.

The absolute worst situation to be in is having an awful team manager at the later years when you know a move to another team is near impossible because of numbers.

ours have almost always done an end of the year thank you gift/family collection. I'm sure some families give small tokens (Starbucks gift card?) to coaches at the holidays but we don't. If I gave to all the teachers, coaches etc in my kids' lives we'd never afford college.
Sounds like you need to taper down on the number of folk who try to help your child succeed...

Look, we’ve had some bad team managers who are disorganized, never communicate well, etc, so if you want it done right, ya gotta do it yourself.
