Produktbeschreibung

Youth sports has exploded in recent years. This "industry" now rakes in billions a year, with traveling teams and personal coaches fueling the pursuit of college scholarships and, perhaps, professional careers. Still, the majority of leagues in which our kids play are run by local nonprofits relying on good-hearted, but often over-burdened, parent volunteers. The results are often devastating, from embezzlement to loss of nonprofit status to fights on the sidelines.

SportsOrganized is the first comprehensive guide to the organizational and financial challenges of running a youth sports league. This book provides critical resources in the areas of financial controls, codes of conduct, data security, and many other essential aspects of running a successful sports nonprofit. These "off the field" issues not only threaten a league's sustainability, but also directly impact the safety and enjoyment of players and parents.

Board members, coaches, and concerned parents will find SportsOrganized an easy-to-read resource guide that can be consulted time and again as your organization encounters challenges. In addtition, SportsOrganized website provides additional resources, including easy-to-use templates. SportsOrganized is truly an indispensable resource for youth sports leaders.

Autorenporträt

Sean Fitzgerald spent well over two decades in nonprofit leadership, both as an executive and a board member. When his sons began playing youth sports, Mr. Fitzgerald began applying that experience to the leagues in which they played, finding very few resources that could help volunteer leaders improve their organizations. Mr. Fitzgerald's first published work, SportsOrganized, attempts to fill that void.

Mr. Fitzgerald lives in Fullerton, California with his wife and his two boys, now 10 and 7 years old. He serves on the board of local youth sports and education-related organizations, coaches both baseball and soccer, and cheers relentlessly, but usually politely, for his children's teams.
