Follow on Google News | Spring Sports: VolunteerSpot helps parents spend more time enjoying the game, not planning for itFree online sign up sheets and scheduling tool saves time and makes volunteer coordination easy
By: Diana Schlott VolunteerSpot (http://www.VolunteerSpot.com) Parent leaders that use VolunteerSpot reduce their planning and coordinating time by several hours a week and eliminate late-night reply-all emails, last-minute phone tag and hard-to-read clipboard sign up sheets. Team parents appreciate how easy it is to sign up and pick their days to help, with a few clicks from an email or through a link on the team website. VolunteerSpot then sends automated email reminders to help everyone remember and keep their commitments. Karyn Ward, Concessions stand volunteer leader from Austin, TX sums it up, “VolunteerSpot has been a true blessing to us. Without it, I would be making dozens of phone calls and sending dozens of emails, almost every day. Honestly, without your service, I don't think I would have agreed to do this role!” Here are a few ways parents are using VolunteerSpot to save time and power team and league activities: • Snack schedule sign up sheets • Concessions stand volunteer scheduling • Tournament scheduling (officials, linesmen, score keepers, awards, setup/cleanup) • Assistant coaches, practice helpers, and field maintenance • Swim meet volunteer scheduling • Fundraisers like carwashes, carnivals, fun runs, and picnics Anyone can launch a VolunteerSpot sign up calendar, for any activity. “Wow! Swim meet planning, party planning for school, the possibilities are endless. LUV IT!” writes Terri Keller of Louisville, KY on VolunteerSpot's facebook page. For more information and to help parents get started, VolunteerSpot has a free eBook with sample online sign up sheets for youth sports: http://www.VolunteerSpot.com/ # # # About VolunteerSpot Based in Austin, Texas, privately held VolunteerSpot (http://www.VolunteerSpot.com) is a free Web-based organization tool that powers grassroots volunteering at school and in the community.
