Parent Sign Up Sheet Examples - Youth Sports
Whether it’s Little League, soccer, swimming, softball, lacrosse, or all of the above, spring is an exciting time for children participating in youth sports. For parents, though, their busy schedules are about to get a whole lot busier! Beyond spending joyful hours cheering on the sidelines, parents provide the backbone for any successful youth sports program by participating as coaches, referees, groundskeepers, timers, bringing snacks, driving carpools, and much more.
VolunteerSpot (http://www.VolunteerSpot.com), a free and easy online volunteer coordination tool that helps schedule, sign up and remind parent volunteers, makes it easy for coaches and league leaders to let parents know when they need them and for what. Team parents appreciate the streamlined communication as VolunteerSpot makes it simple to sign up and help. Camille R., a soccer mom from Gilroy, CA reports, “I signed up to bring soccer snacks for two of my sons’ teams and it was so easy! Thank you, VolunteerSpot for cutting through the clutter of reply-all email!”
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.
