Program Organization Starter Pack (7 Documents)

*Gain a better perspective on executing the details of your program

This is 7 simple documents we use in our program to help keep us organized. If you feel like their are too many loose ends in your program, you are not alone, but these documents can help. The 7 documents include:

Season Checklist - This is a 150+ item checklist of all the things that need done within the program throughout the season. I always felt like identifying the tasks is step number one to being able to execute the way I want to within the program.

Preseason Parent Packet - After we make cuts, and around the time we start our official practices, we have a meeting with all the players and parents in the program. This meeting is a tone setter for the whole season and very important. This is where you sell your vision as a coach and set up all the boundaries and expectations for both the players and parents of the program. We go through, and send the parents home with, a large packet that includes all the key information and details for the season.

Practice Plan - This is a sample of three practice plans from a previous season. It lays out how we allocate our time and what we are going to track. Each coach is provided a plan each day.

Media Day Outline - This outline shows how we got all the promotional aspects of our program out of the way on one day early in the season. If you are going to try to promote your program, it's better to do it all at once instead of scrambling all throughout the season for various things.

Social Media Plan - This is another internal document our coaching staff used to divide and conquer the various social media outlets we divided to use. Executing on social media is becoming the status quo, so having a plan to execute is important. 

Newsletter - This is an actual newsletter we are using as a sample to see how we structure and promote things within our program. The image you promote to your community Is very important.

Middle School Evaluation Form - This is a form I give to the middle school coaches to use during tryouts. Sometimes we have upwards of 120 players trying out for 42 middle school spots, so we want to make sure everyone received an evaluation and that we have documentation if it was needed for any reason.

What buyers are saying:

"Coach Hack’s program organization is very detailed and perfectly laid out, with great thought and effort evident throughout. Whether you are new coach in the profession, or have been coaching for years, there is something in here for you and your program. Coach Hack’s detailed work takes the “off the court” components to a new level of organization." -Carlo M., Louisiana 

"The program organization guide from Coach Hack has been one of my favorite purchases. I am a 1st year head coach at a new school and everything can be so overwhelming! Coach does an amazing job of listing out everything you could possibly think of when it comes to getting your team and staff ready for the season. Because of this, I have been able to relax a little bit and focus more on coaching basketball because we have a plan for everything else. Would highly recommend this to any coaches!" -Jalen Burgeson, Franklin, Nebraska

"After taking a year off of coaching I took over for a Girls 5A program that hasn’t seen much success since making it to the state tournament in 2017. I am the 5th coach in five years. With Matt’s preseason checklist I felt as if myself and coaching staff was well prepared to take on a new season and a new era of basketball. Our team has started the season 2-0 and the program hasn’t seen that good of a start since 2011/12 and a lot of it is a credit to this starter package of being prepared." -Trevor Mason, Kentucky

"If you are a new coach or a coach who wants to make sure they are doing the best with their program, this is a great resource. Coach Hack has everything you can think of to make sure you are on top of every aspect of your program. I really recommend this to make sure you don't have any holes in what you do." -Philip Whitley, Rockport, MA
