      TeamSnap for Business shares 5 must-haves to launch a successful hockey registration.

      Are you in charge of your upcoming hockey registration season? We understand organizing registration means a lot of moving parts. With these easy tips, we’ll set up a seamless hockey registration process that keeps families and athletes returning to the ice season after season. Here are 5 must-haves to launch hockey registration in 2024. 

      5 Must-Haves to Launch Hockey Registration

      #1 Trusted Online Registration Platform

      This list could start and end with the #1 must-have for hockey registrations. But, we can’t stress this enough. Make sure you find a reliable and user-friendly software partner to run your registrations. From fee flexibility to online form building and other enhanced features, make sure your registration software provider is a good fit for your hockey club. 

      For more information on finding the perfect online sports management platform, check out our guide here. 



      #2 Flexibility for Rising Costs

      All hockey organizers know that we’re fighting rising costs across the board. Especially in the expensive sport of hockey. That includes equipment, facilities, apparel, and much more. It also means that registration fees and dues are on the rise. Give your registrants some flexibility on rising costs. That could include early-bird discounts, user-friendly fees, automated discounts, payment plans, and much more. These are essential to a strong registration season. 

      #3 User-Friendly Document Exporting = Best for Governing Bodies1 

      Playing youth hockey means working with a governing body at the highest level of the sport. That’s why you should target a registration provider that includes user-friendly document exporting. Find a provider that helps you customize exactly what forms will be uploaded to your governing body and make the process as seamless as possible after the big registration day. No more stress about document uploading to USA Hockey or Hockey Canada! 

      #4 Waitlists

      One way to outshine the other hockey clubs and leagues in your area is a family-friendly feature like waitlists. Just because one of your seasons or programs fills up quickly, make sure you can stay in touch with those families. This will help ensure the future growth of your organization. This will help you plan and adjust accordingly to the growing popularity of your hockey programs.

      #5 Parent-Friendly Registration! 

      Although our young athletes are the most important piece of youth hockey and youth sports, we all know who the biggest stakeholders are: the parents! Let’s give our parents and families the best registration experience possible. This is the easiest way to keep them coming back season after season (and with a smile on their face!). 

      Make sure your registration provider is easy to use from a user perspective. And, bonus points for features like Digital Wallets, Flexible Fee Structures, or easy-to-understand forms. 

      The youth hockey business is booming, adding to the importance of organizers making their registration experiences as seamless as possible. Drive better hockey retention rates with these five must-haves!
