I'm at a bit of a loss and looking for some help. My local little league is in a small district, each graduating class is about 100 kids for perspective. We have very limited fields due to the size of our town. Three main fields, one tee-ball sized field and occasional use of two fields at the local elementary schools. The issue we run into is giving out practice times. Leading up to Opening Day isn't much of an issue, teams sign up for slots, but once games begin we have a hard time fitting teams in. The three main fields typically have games every night, the tee-ball sized field is only really good for tee-ball. With that in mind, we don't lock in a set time for teams through the season.
I'll add, we have used SSU Play as our tech provider in the past and it hasn't been able to handle field conflicts. For that reason, among others, we're switching to Team Snap. Looks great, lots of positives, but still can't deal with it for practicing.
All that said, I'm curious if there are any other leagues out there that have floating practice teams where teams need to sign up on the fly and if so, what do you use to handle the requests and sorting of the field?
Thanks!
