The lifeline of a well-run youth-sports program
Running a program at a high level requires an effective communicator. One can never communicate too much! Keeping participants, staff members, referees, coaches, and other volunteers in the loop with every aspect of a program is the key and can only help an operation. Here are some tips on how to be a great communicator:
Use multiple platforms. Email, social media, apps, websites, phone calls, texts, and face-to-face meetings are all ways to communicate to interested participants. So, there should be no reason for someone to say, “I didn’t know.”
Communicate before and after the season. When releasing initial dates for a program, remind people as registration nears. Don’t assume they will remember. Once they are in the door, always let them know when the next program takes place.
