In the world of youth sports, there are few things more time consuming than dealing with administrative tasks. From gathering registration fees to collecting waivers, the paperwork alone can be a headache for youth sports organizers. But what if there was an easy solution? With TeamLinkt, you can collect waivers with digital signatures during the registration process. In this blog post, we'll explain how it works and why it's a game-changer for youth sports administrators.

Benefits of Collecting Digital Signatures During Registration

Collecting waivers with digital signatures is a better option than traditional paper forms. The obvious benefit is convenience. Digital signatures eliminate the need for physical paperwork, saving administrative time and reducing the risk of misplaced documents. They also make it easier for athletes and parents to sign and submit their waivers, because they can do it from the comfort of their own homes via computer or TeamLinkt’s sports management app. Digital signatures are legally binding and provide a more secure way of storing confidential information.

How Collecting Digital Signatures Works with TeamLinkt

It's quite simple to implement digital signatures with TeamLinkt. When building a registration form, the youth sports administrator will have the option to collect an electronic signature from their registrants. TeamLinkt uses DocuSign, a leading e-signature technology, to collect and store signatures securely. Once a participant submits their registration form, they'll automatically receive an email with a link to sign the waiver. If they prefer, they can also sign the waiver within the registration form itself.

This signature can be collected to accept your youth sports organizations terms & conditions, your refund policy, or both!

To collect the electronic signature (or e-signature):

1. Create a Registration form

2. Go to the 'General' Tab

3. Under terms & conditions and/or your refund policy, set it to 'Accept Terms by Signature'

Customizing Your Waiver

Beyond the ease of collecting digital signatures, TeamLinkt also allows youth sports administrators to customize the waiver to fit their organization's needs. They can include their own waiver language and information about their youth sports program. This not only ensures that their sports organization is covering all necessary legal requirements, but it also adds a level of professionalism and personalization that can set their organization apart. Since TeamLinkt automatically stores all waivers and signatures, administrators can easily access them at any time, eliminating the need to sift through piles of paperwork.

In conclusion, collecting waivers with digital signatures during registration is a no-brainer for youth sports organizations. This will save time, reduce paperwork, and provide a more secure way of storing confidential information. With TeamLinkt's seamless integration with DocuSign, it's never been easier to implement. So if you haven't already, consider incorporating digital signatures into your registration process – your athletes (and your youth sports administrators) will thank you!
