Introducing OpenShifts: revolutionising club operations with ClubSports 365

At ClubSports 365, we continuously strive to innovate and provide tools that simplify sports club management. We’re thrilled to introduce our latest feature: OpenShifts

This functionality is designed to streamline the process of creating, managing, and filling shifts for various club roles, ensuring your operations run seamlessly.

Here’s how the OpenShifts feature works:


Step-by-Step Guide to Using OpenShifts

Step 1: Add Shift Title/Role

Start by naming the shift and specifying the role. Whether it’s for a matchday steward, bartender, or groundskeeper, ensure clarity in the title for easy identification.

Step 2: Fill in the Date, Start, and End Time

Input the date and specify the start and end times of the shift. The system will automatically calculate the duration of the shift, and the total payment based on the hourly rate you provide. This eliminates manual calculations, saving time and ensuring accuracy.

Step 3: Add the Location

Specify where the shift will take place. This could be:

  • The home ground.
  • An away venue.
  • Internal or external club facilities like bars or function rooms.

Step 4: Add a Description (If Applicable)

Provide any additional details about the shift. For example, mention specific tasks, required attire, or equipment to bring.

Step 5: Select the Number of People Needed

Define the headcount for the shift. Whether you need one person or a team, this ensures that all roles are appropriately staffed.

Step 6: Set Recurring Shifts (Optional)

If this shift is recurring (e.g., weekly bartending for home games), indicate the frequency, and the system will automatically replicate the shift.

Step 7: Decide Shift Visibility

Choose whether the shift should be visible to the public. This is particularly useful if you’re seeking volunteers or paid staff from outside the club.

Step 8: Publish

Once all details are confirmed, publish the shift.

Where Does the Shift Appear?

After publishing, the shift will be displayed under the OpenShift’s tab on your club’s website. This centralised hub allows club members or the public (if selected) to view and apply for available shifts with ease.

Benefits of OpenShifts for Your Club

  • Efficiency: Simplifies the process of shift creation and management.
  • Transparency: Clear details about roles, timings, and payments.
  • Engagement: Attracts volunteers or paid staff from within or outside the club.
  • Flexibility: Adapts to your club’s needs with options for recurring shifts and visibility controls.
