UTILISING TECHNOLOGY - IMPROVING THE MANAGEMENT OF YOUR SPORTS CLUB

BY CONNOR STEPHENS

Technology is a crucial tool, and over the past couple decades, has proven to make everybody's jobs a lot easier, whether that be in the workplace or in volunteer roles. From a local sports club's perspective, it takes many volunteers putting in countless hours of work in order for your club to operate at a satisfactory standard. Standard jobs your club's volunteers may work on include spreadsheets of finances, delegating shifts to other volunteers, and working with club members on any issues that may arise.

All of these jobs, plus everything else associated with operating a club, requires thorough communication, and given that committees can often only meet together once a month, it makes keeping everything under control very difficult.

Some club committees might have group chats, where things can be planned and discussed in order to prepare for meetings, but keeping track of every conversation in a group chat can be a very daunting task, as things can be forgotten very easily if there is a month or so between committee meetings.

Apps such as Xero have proven to be effective in helping clubs keep track of their finances at the click of a button, making the treasurer's job much easier than the spreadsheet method that has been used since the dawn of time, and clubs adopting this technology are seeing major improvements, albeit finance tracking is only 1 piece of the puzzle of maintaining a successful club.

Imagine if everything your club needed to operate was in 1 place, able to be found at any given time. The thought of your members and volunteers not having to jump between different platforms to get tasks done and stay on track seems impossible, but what if I told you that it isn't? In fact, what if I told you that there's a Sports Administration app that offers all digital solutions for Sports clubs?
