Manager Development & Mentorship "The Foothills Way"
Team Managers: The Glue that Holds Our Teams Together
It is an understatement to say that a manager is the glue that holds each team together. Team managers spend countless hours helping their squads have a rewarding soccer experience and successful season, and we support them in many ways. We provide resources to help them learn from each other and share best practices. Improving the training and support we provide our managers is a priority.
Foothills hosts socials for our managers to gather, share ideas, and network. The socials provide an opportunity for each of them to engage with Foothills staff and build relationships.
Why These Events Matter
