Recreational Sports Team Organization

2005-2006 – Organized a recreational men’s basketball team for four seasons (spring, summer, fall, winter).  Contacted people through basketball message boards when we needed new players.  Also contacted the league organizers about using people who had signed up individually  on our team when we needed players.  Balanced the people we contacted by size and skill set to attempt to keep a balanced roster.  Once the roster was set collected checks from all players and paid the league.  At times contacted the league to ask for supplies, like extra t-shirts.  Brought new people in for reduced price part way through the season if players got busy, such as having to travel for work.  Picked up t-shirts from league and distributed them to players.  Donated extras to the Salvation Army.

2010 – Organized a summer beach volleyball league.  Contacted past players I knew to get the roster off the ground.  Contacted people through volleyball message boards to fill it out.  Sent Paypal requests to all players and then registered with my credit card once most of the money had been received.  Brought in a couple of new players part-way through the season to get some more substitutes when one person could no longer play.  Price was reduced since they did not get a full season.  This produced surplus money that was refunded to team members after the season.  Picked up t-shirts from sports league and distributed them to players over several weeks.
