What I can do for you
Your time is precious and I have a vast range of knowledge that will benefit your organisation and give you your time back!
Let me do all the boring stuff so you can get back to the things you actually like doing for your sports organisation.
You will look more professional with an up to date website, online registrations and regular communication.
I am based in Cambridge and work remote, but will digitally join committee meetings and personally attend annual AGM’s, no matter where you are in NZ.
Software
As I am a specialist in the use of Friendly Manager, I prefer using their amazing club and competition management solution. However, I am also versed in SportsTG (GameDay) and can work with Sporty, HelloClub and other providers as needed. If your organisation does not use an online tool yet, I suggest signing up with Friendly Manager. I can assist with this process.
Pricing
I work as a contractor on an hourly basis and often there are grants available for your organisation that cover the cost of an administrator or sport development officer. Where a grant is not available, even just a very small increase of 1-5 dollars per member/player registration will cover my costs! I love chasing members/players for fees, so having those extra fees come in will not only pay for me but also generate more income for your organisation.
ONLINE REGISTRATIONS
I will prepare customised forms and make sure your registrations are open on time. With strategic communication, I will get as many people registered as possible before registrations close on time. I can use any existing software that you already have or recommend a solution that best suits your club.
Website creation and maintenance
I can create a new modern website using a variety of software (WordPress, Joomla etc), or modernize your current one and maintain it with regular updates. I can advise on domain and email hosting options. Friendly Manager also has a free website and very cheap hosting (I was their website specialist).
Competition Management
I can create complex draws and display them on your website. Let me allocate your referees and take care of team/individual registrations for internal and external competitions, as well as invoicing. I prefer Friendly Managers competitions system (used for AIMS Games) but can adapt to other providers.
Financials
I will make sure everyone has their invoices on time and a facility to pay online by debit/credit card (if required). I can provide financial reports and create credits and further invoices as needed. Overdue fees will be chased without giving up.
Xero
I hold a Xero Certificate and can reconcile the incoming payments, create credits and send invoices as needed. Please note that I am not an accountant and cannot help with very advanced accounting needs.
Member Communication
Modern newsletters will be sent to your membership once a month. Social media feeds will be kept up to date with engaging and interesting content. (Content will require collaboration with someone from the committee).
Grant Applications
Let me handle those long winded grant applications for you. I can also help with sponsorship and other applications as needed.
Scheduling
I will make sure your activities such as trainings, bookings and more are scheduled properly and will communicate any changes to the affected parties. As a German, scheduling and organising is in my blood!
Policies and procedures
I am happy to amend and write any policies and procedures you may need. This includes privacy policies, codes of conduct and more. Save your sanity and let me write these boring documents for you!
Reporting
I will create any reports that you may need for the committee and your obligations towards your national organisation.
Event Management
Proven track record of leading and supporting the organisation of local, regional, and national events with exceptional communication, organisational, and problem-solving skills. Adept at managing diverse projects, from initial planning to execution, ensuring smooth operations and client satisfaction
