An important part of the recruiting camp preparation is keeping all parents, players and coaches informed. The applications for the camps open up in February but the first camp does not take place until early June. That is a long time for people to have questions and explore our website to find out information. This year I was put in charge of redoing some of the literature for the camps. We link to PDF files of our “Camp Booklet” on each one of the individual camp pages. These booklets have all kinds of information about the location, hotels nearby, what to bring to camp, what to wear to camp, outlines the schedule for the day, outlines of the skills measured, and some general information that is carried over on all booklets.
My job was to update the booklets for camps we have held in the past, input all the new measurable information, update phone numbers and contact names. For the new camps I did all of the same but also had to do research on nearby hotels and input directions to the fields as well as other logistical information.
Part of making the booklets was also changing the camp schedules for all camps. Even if we were going to start fifteen minutes early that changes every time for the whole day so I reworked all of the schedules as well.
After each camp booklet was done or updated I printed them off and proofed myself and then had the Director of Events take a look and make edits. I made any necessary changes and then made all booklets into PDF files to be able to post on the NFCA website.
This project was pretty fun actually, I do not normally get to do things like that or post projects onto the website regularly. This was a big project and had a lot go into it so I was proud of the results. I have inserted one of the booklets below.
