750 kids, 500 games,and no more clipboards.

The Franklin Recreation Department operates a basketball program serving over 750 children annually in grades K–8. With a program of this size, managing player evaluations, league scheduling, and coordinating hundreds of games each season can be an enormous undertaking. Since implementing Bravara, those processes have become significantly more efficient, saving our staff countless hours.

In previous seasons, we conducted in-person player evaluations for grades 3–8 using nothing more than clipboards and pencils. After evaluations were completed, our staff would spend the following week and a half manually entering all player data into our system. Switching to Bravara completely eliminated that process. This season, we were able to evaluate our players directly through the Bravara App and receive instant results, eliminating the need for any manual data entry.

Scheduling has been another area where Bravara has made a tremendous difference. With approximately 500 games each season and numerous volunteers coaching across multiple divisions, creating our schedules was an extremely time-consuming process. Previously, we built our schedules by hand and then had to painstakingly review them to identify and resolve conflicts involving coaches volunteering in multiple divisions, as well as parents with children participating in multiple leagues.

Bravara eliminated that entire process. The system generated our schedules while accounting for these conflicts, resulting in zero scheduling conflicts for coaches or parents with children participating in multiple leagues. What previously required hours of manual work was accomplished with an efficiency we hadn't experienced before.

Here at Franklin Recreation, we are genuinely in awe of what the Bravara system has been able to accomplish for our program. The time savings, ease of use, and overall efficiency have exceeded our expectations. Our coaches love the system, our scheduling process has never been easier, and we couldn't be happier with the product.

We are extremely excited about our partnership with Bravara and look forward to building a long-term relationship. We would wholeheartedly recommend Bravara to any recreation department or youth sports organization looking to simplify operations, save valuable time, and improve the overall experience for their players, parents, coaches, and staff.
