Writing Skills are Helpful in Running your Team.

Most high school athletic managers have limited experience in writing as their expertise are athletics. It is a good idea to learn basic writing skills as a coach or manager. Being a skilled writer can make you appear as more professional. Coaches generally need to develop work out, practice, and game schedules as well as flyers for team sanctioned events. Coaches also must email parents and players at times as well.

During emails it is key to use the following tips:

1. Use detailed subject lines
2. Use bulleted lists
3. Personalize the message if possible to make the reader feel as if you are writing to them and not just sending out a generic email.

While making schedules and flyers seems like a simple task, you can make yourself appear as a skilled professional to your players and their parents. Here are a few tips when writing flyers or schedules to your team:

1. Use Bold face folds to emphasize key points
2. Check your grammar as you want to appear as a professional to be taken seriously
3. Keep the days and times in a proper order that is easy to follow
