Although the fall sports season feels like it just began it’s not too early to think about your winter season and prepare accordingly. Organizing tryouts and making sure you are well prepared in the coaching department is a great way to increase winter sports registration. Below we outlined three things you can do to kickstart your winter sports season:
1. Host preseason workouts and evaluations
Making sure your prospective athletes are ready to compete is key. Connect with your returning athletes and invite new athletes to preseason workouts to best prepare them for upcoming tryouts. This is also one of the best ways to spread awareness about your program and increase team sign-ups for winter sports.
2. Choose a software
It is important to have user-friendly, effective software to organize player info, financial data, and plan out your game schedule. We talk about how to increase fall sports sign-ups in this previous blog post, so be sure to refresh yourself on those tips in order to prepare for winter sports tryouts and increase your overall registration numbers.3. Market your team
