On Wednesday I gathered up the staff that was in the office and we loaded the trailer finally! We all worked together to make sure it all got in there and the weight was distributed evenly, it all looked great. There were certain things that the on site director for our camps that we hire to help every summer asked me to keep towards the back and that all got accomplished. I was very pleased with how quickly we got it done and how well everyone worked together. We all even went out to lunch that day to celebrate.
The only things left to go in was last minute camp materials, anything electronic, and the boxes of camper bags [those have not been finished yet]. I was feeling pretty good until we got a call that the athletic trainer for two of our camps in Pennsylvania could no longer make it. This is a big deal because we cannot run an event without a certified athletic trainer being on site the entire time.
With our Director of Events out of town still I jumped on it and started making calls to Universities around the Northern Pennsylvania area. I struck out quite a few times but ended up getting ahold of a guy at the College of New Jersey. He was able to help us out and I got him the contracts and W-2 forms to fill out that day.
The other task I had to take care of was calling all of the hired workers for the first camp in Kansas City. We hire high school coaches, travel ball coaches, and mostly current college athletes to help facilitate our camps. They hit balls, do our recording and just are the necessary hands we need on site to work a camp and have it run.
I spent a good portion of time on the phone getting ahold of everyone, reminding him or her about things and verifying times to show up.
Lastly I drafted up some emails to send to our players and parents who were attending the Ohio Recruiting Camp because we changed venues. Event though it is a while away we still wanted to get the word out promptly and to remind people several times.
