A youth basketball league needs a lot of good volunteers to run smoothly. A Bill Russell player/coach situation probably wouldn’t work out too well for the CYO third-graders. Active Network, Sports has some tools that will help you recruit volunteers online during the registration process and use reports to place volunteers into positions.

It starts with the registration process. When parents register their kids for your basketball program, you can ask a custom question on the sign-up form to gather volunteer commitments. Also, offer positions for parents to apply to like head coach or score keeper. When you gather a bunch of volunteers, view an organized report about your volunteers and their desired positions. Place volunteers, collect your necessary waivers and background checks, and then send broadcast emails through our easy-to-use email tool.

• Gather volunteer commitments during the player registration process online
