Get a FREE web site for your Softball Association!

Apr 30 2010

Many Softball Associations do not currently have their own web page, making it difficult for potential players – especially those new to the community – to find details about their local Association. Softball Ontario, with the assistance of the Ontario Trillium Foundation, is happy to provide free web sites to Softball Associations across Ontario!

Why does your Softball Association need a web site?

Makes Your Information Accessible
- When people are looking to find information about your Association, the first place they look is the internet. Without a web site, your Softball Association is missing out on recruiting potential players and volunteers because information about your Association is not available online. Search engines are your friends!
Improve Communication
- Having a web site allows your Softball Association to improve your ability to communicate with your players, parents, coaches, officials, and fans. Through your web site, you will be able to provide visitors with copies of league schedules, park maps, and the latest news about your Association.
Improve and Promote the image of your Association
- Softball Associations who have a web site project a professional, organized and trustworthy image to the community. Web sites can be used to publicize the achievements of your Association and your Teams, and can be used to build a strong relationship with your members.
