How to Plan a Sporting Event: 6 Tips to Make Yours a Success
Planning, managing and organizing a sporting event is not difficult, especially when you have to think about implementing social distancing and other safety measures. Whether it's a tennis tournament or a soccer league, these tips will help you organize a sporting event that's fun and safe.
1. Plan
Of course, it sounds obvious, but the best way to ensure that your event is a success is to plan effectively from the very beginning. It's good to use an online project management tool like A sana or Trello (among others), but you also need to know the answers to a number of questions. What is the purpose of the event? What type of space do you need? what is the budget What health and safety protocols will you need to implement? Taking these initial considerations into account will help you make decisions and subsequently guarantee that your sporting event will be a complete success.
2. Choose The Perfect Date
Choosing the right term is crucial. Making sure your event isn't on the same day as any other sporting event or local gathering will ensure that not only people attend, but that your event leaves a lasting impact. You should think about choosing a date that will give you enough time to plan and promote the event well.
3. Choose The Right Venue
The venue you choose for your sporting event must have sufficient capacity and must be safe and accessible for everyone, whether it is an indoor or outdoor space. It is also important to consider what capacity will comply with social distancing rules.
4. Plan What The Event Will Be
Is it a match, tournament, league? How many people or teams will participate? How many sports will be featured? What is the format? The more you know about the event, the better. It's a good idea to write down everything you know about the event from start to finish on a piece of paper. This will help you get an idea of what the event will look like, so you'll have to improvise less.
5. Calculate the Supplies You Will Need
Make a list of the supplies you'll need to host your sporting event, from certificates, notices and signs to whistles, medals and prizes. And of course, don't forget personal protective equipment (PPE) such as face masks, hand gels, disinfectants and other cleaning products.
6. Promote Your Event
Make sure you actively promote your sporting event. Send information by email, use social media and if you have the budget, run an advertising campaign in print or outside the home (on billboards, public transport, etc.). Don't forget to invite local press and relevant influencers to the event: they will help promote it. The more effort (and resources) you put into promoting your event, the better the results.
