Winter is Coming: Are you Prepared?

Don’t get caught FROZEN in your tracks! With another sports season around the corner, it’s a good idea to take a moment and look ahead.  By investing a little time now to review the winter season, you will avoid minimizing headaches in the long run.  Use our Winter Checklist to get ahead of the game.

Recruit and assign game workers (officials if applicable) to all of your winter events.  By using Schedule Star, you can send automatic reminders and change notifications as the event date draws near.   

If you haven’t done so already, it’s time to generate opponent and official contracts for winter contests. Be sure to check out Schedule Star’s new electronic contract feature, which allows you to “go green”.  Most importantly, it eliminates the tedious printing and mailing of paper copies. Send, receive and manage contracts with ease with our improved contract manager.    Contact support@bigteams.com to activate this great new feature.  

Review winter and spring schedules and add any necessary details.  For example: complete facility assignments, submit transportation requests, enter practice schedules, add dismissal times as needed, and cross reference the school calendar for any potential team conflicts (ie. SAT dates, holidays, class trips).  

Boost fan engagement using social media and your BigTeams website. Showcase team highlights and make sure everyone has the latest details regarding game cancellations by actively posting announcements.  Our communication tools make it easy for you to keep everyone up to date.  

We know, we know.  The winter season has barely even started.  But it’s never too early to make sure all requirements for participation are met. Therefore, we recommend you start thinking about your registration process and consider using an online platform.Our merger with PlanetHS provides premier online registration.  Stop worrying about forms!
