Track & Field + Bound's Activity Registration (Student Eligibility) Tool: A Dynamic Duo
written by Roland-Story Boys Track Coach and former AD, Brian Petersen
As a track coach and former athletic director, I've witnessed firsthand the evolution of managing student-athlete participation. From stacks of paperwork to streamlined digital solutions, the journey has been transformative. One standout innovation that has truly reshaped the game is online activity registration, particularly when paired with Bound, a comprehensive platform for sports management.
The Athletic Office Takes the Lead:
Gone are the days of drowning in paperwork and endless follow-ups or waiting to see who will show up on the first day of practice. With online activity registration, the athletic office takes the reins, setting up registration processes and managing athlete clearances effortlessly. Everything from vital documents to emergency contacts is efficiently handled, leaving coaches like me free to focus on what truly matters: coaching.
