What qualities are considered important for selecting team managers?
NVSS places a great deal of responsibility on the team managers so a variety of considerations are taken into account: Knowledge of the game and of the players in the prospective manager’s conference; some demonstrated organizational skills; a commitment to uphold the NVSS creed and enforce the Code of Conduct. This requires an ability to resolve disputes in the spirit of fair play, and willingness to discipline players—in consultation with the 1st VP– on those rare occasions when behavior is in conflict with the code of conduct. All those expressing a willingness to manage are vetted with the NVSS Board, which approves the selections in an “all things considered” decision.
