Gearing Up For Girls Basketball!

Gearing Up For Girls Basketball! - JANUARY 14, 2021

     Welcome back to Catching Up with Kids, Incorporated! This has been a busy week at our office as we gear up for the start of our Girls Basketball season tomorrow. Between coaches meetings, getting shirts pressed, and last minute roster additions, we have been staying busy. We are excited to get games started tomorrow!

     With a new season starting, we thought it would be fun to walk you through the process of gearing up for a new sport! Work starts a few weeks before we open registration, as we begin getting our system in place to accept registration, start finalizing facilities, and start prepping marketing materials. 

     The real fun starts when we open registration up. Then, as kiddos get signed up, we start placing players on teams and find volunteers interested in coaching. Everyone who handles teams in our office is over a particular cluster of schools. This allows each individual to make connections and build relationships with the coaches, players, and families in their cluster of schools. It also helps ensure no player falls through the cracks and that everyone gets placed on a team.

     As the season grows closer, officials start getting assigned to games, rosters start getting finalized, schedules start getting built, and shirts start getting pressed and ready for players! A few days before games begin, we host a coaches meeting for all of the coaches to go over the rules of the game and ask any questions they may have. Then, we are ready for game day!

     As you can see, a lot of work goes in to getting a Kids, Inc. season off the ground. Thanks for following along and we hope this post has given you a small glimpse into the day-to-day operations at the Kids, Inc. WareHouse! We will see you back here next week for a new Catching Up with Kids, Incorporated story.
