Position: Gym Coordinator
Duties:
- Secure Gyms for the Chapter
- Provide interface with gym providers. You need to get contact information and meet each of them. Attached (see Gym Contact list) is the current list of the primary contacts. There are additional conditions and political considerations for each gym.
- Apply for gym time
- Be very early! Many groups want the time
- Kiss butt. We get gym at the providers leisure
- Key gyms are Blach, Egan, Peterson, and Fremont
- Maximize affordability of gyms (price)
- Be aware of gym size and capacity
- Better to overbook
- Multiple gyms at a facility often are the best bargain
- Factor in custodial, application, and fixed fees
- Always go back to operators and see if you can extend hours, even additional 30 minutes
- Need one Sunday game slot for every two teams (CRITICAL)
- Scout for new Gyms
Cold call. Search all leads. Ask for contacts, but in truth you can get just as far by showing up and talking to the secretary at the facility. Just go there.
- Make the Practice schedule
- High School sized main gyms should always be split by two teams
- Small gyms should not be split before January (only D2 and D3 may split)
- Reduction in space or times starts with D3 and moves up through all ranks
- Ideal is two 1.5 hour practice slots for Division and 2 hours for All Net.
- Front load time before January when recreation leagues start
- Make a practice grid spread sheet (see templates, borrow last years)
- Be fair and balanced.
- All D1 teams need to be treated the same
- All D2 teams need to be treated the same
- All D3 teams need to be treated the same
- All Nets need to be all treated alike
- Exceptions:
- Non parent coaches get priority on preference
- Coaches with two teams must be accommodated
- Other exception will be defined by President or Director
- Be as early as possible with the schedule.
- Where possible meet coach preferences. (Only consider conflicts, do not consider “best” requests).
- Have no friends. Everyone you are fair to will respect you.
- Correct mistakes in scheduling ASAP. (With 49 teams they are inevitable)
- You give all coaches over 30 hours of gym time (at least $900 worth) and they will gripe. Smile.
