Mountain View, CA (March 2010) – Bald Eagle Camps is a sports facility that is dedicated to helping youth compete against the challenges in life and on the playing field. Offering basketball camps and clinics, along with a variety of summer camps to first through eighth-graders, as well as private training for athletes 12 and up; leaves Bald Eagle Camps with some pretty intricate scheduling needs. “I knew the power of using software to assist in scheduling,” states business owner, Glenda McFarlane, “In fact, I had been using another system, but decided to switch to eSoft Planner when I saw how much better it fit our needs.”
Bald Eagle Camps utilizes eSoft Planner’s Camp and Class module. This module allows for complete customization; such as enrollment fees, sign up deadlines, age requirements, and minimum and maximum number of participants when creating one-day or multiple day camps and clinics. Coaches create and manage their schedules online, and clients can view the schedules, enroll, pay, and even sign up for a waiting list from their online accounts. “Making the process easy for our customers is the most important thing, and eSoft Planner is more user-friendly than our last software system,” explains McFarlane. The ability to schedule and pay online increases customer convenience, eliminates unnecessary phone calls and administrative tasks, and improves cash flow for the sports facility. eSoft Planner’s email system provides immediate receipts and confirmations to both customers and camp/clinic managers, and sends automatic reminders as scheduled camps and clinics approach. Electronic funds transfers (EFTs) are deposited daily through eSoft Planner’s secure online retail partnership with Authorize.net; keeping revenue steady throughout the month. Management can easily pull reports that track revenue, clinic loads and instructor schedules. McFarlane summarizes, “The system is straight forward, streamlined, and customized to our business; making the whole process easier for us and our customers.”
Bald Eagle Camps offers Basketball camps, clinics, and private training as well as summer camps that provide skill development for specific sports; such as basketball, baseball, and football. It is the first sports facility to have the Positive Coaching Alliance’s stamp of approval. Every coach associated with Bald Eagle Camps has been trained in the Positive Coaching Alliance methods of creating an optimal culture for youth. With a mission to “Redefine what it means to be a winner,” coaches teach the Mastery Approach to Learning where success is achieved through maximum effort, an attitude of learning, and freedom from the fear of mistakes.
