2. Reach Out to Last Year’s Families Well Before Your Season Starts

Another key to a successful registration process is early communication. By reaching out to families from the previous season, you can encourage early sign-ups and increase the likelihood that players will return.

With TeamLinkt’s free team management app, you can send reminders to last year’s participants about registration dates, deadlines, and early-bird discounts. Emi can automate these notifications via email or chat, ensuring that families are reminded well before the season starts—without requiring you to send individual messages.

Key Benefits:

• Automated communication to previous participants

• Reminders sent well before the season starts

• Increased registration numbers through early outreach

3. Offer “Early Bird” and “Sibling” Discounts

Offering discounts can be a powerful incentive for families to register early or sign up multiple children. By promoting early-bird discounts or offering a discount for siblings, you make the registration process more appealing.

Emi can help by automatically applying these discounts during registration, simplifying the process for parents and administrators alike. In addition, Emi can track the effectiveness of these discounts by generating reports on how many families took advantage of them.

Payment plans are also a great way to keep registration affordable for families!
