Game Day Lead

Game Day Lead

Brodie Rec. League™

Type: Permanent part-time

Location: Freeport, NY

Salary: $22 – $28 USD Hourly (varies by market)

Reports To: League Manager

COMPANY OVERVIEW

50,000 athletes. 30+ locations. Millions of views.

Brodie League is more than a basketball league, it’s a community. As one of North America’s fastest-growing sports brands, Brodie League is redefining adult recreational basketball by delivering an elevated, professional-quality experience rooted in culture, competition, and community. Our mission is to make every league night the best night of the week for our athletes.

ROLE OVERVIEW

The Game Day Lead runs the floor so the League Manager can run the league. On game night, you own the operation: the gym is set to the site map, every stream is live, every role is covered, and every staffer is working to the Brodie Standard. That frees your League Manager to spend the night with captains, players and fans, building the relationships that fill the gym next season.

Your main job is to manage the floor. You teach your crew the job, check that it's done to the Brodie Standard, and lift their performance every night. When something goes wrong, you coach the person who owns it to fix it instead of stepping in and fixing it yourself. On a great night, your crew ran everything and you never had to touch a cable.

When your League Manager is off-site, authority falls to you on league night operations, including connecting with drop-in athletes, ensuring they have a great experience, and converting them to league night athletes.

You report to the League Manager. This role is a direct path to League Manager.

CORE RESPONSIBILITIES

• Own the gym setup. Arrive before the first game and set the gym to the site map with your crew: courts, scorer's tables, check-in and brand fixtures. Give every task to a named staffer, check it against the setup checklist, and sign off before the Launch Meeting. Run breakdown the same way: equipment counted, fixtures packed and the gym left the way the venue expects it.

• Keep every court live. Your Game Day Operators set up BallerTV on every court. You check that every stream is live before the first tip-off and keep checking through the night. When one drops, get your Game Day Operator to bring it back up fast, and log it. Make sure every Game Day Operator knows how to set up and troubleshoot the stream, so it never depends on one person.

• Run the crew on the floor. Assign roles and rotations for every Game Day Operator, Referee, Athlete Highlight Specialist and media staffer on your nights, typically 5-20 people depending on the venue. Redeploy staff on forfeits and no-shows, and keep check-in staffed and moving. Handle overdue balances before athletes play, and escalate to your League Manager when it isn't an easy fix. Keep every game starting on time, and if a game is going to start late, your League Manager hears it from you before it happens.

• Take charge when your League Manager is off site. Whenever your League Manager isn't on site, you're in charge of the night and the crew. Make the forfeit call when a team doesn't show, send idle staff home so we only pay for the crew the night needs, and keep every game starting on time. Repeat performance issues still go to your League Manager, documented, so they can make the call.

• Teach the job, don't just do it. Show it, watch them do it, then check it. Hold the standard in the moment (uniform, positions, focus, branding, phones away). Coach on the spot when a mistake happens twice, and document it and escalate to your League Manager the third time. Give every staffer specific feedback each night, and run shadow shifts for new crew.

• Close out the night. Complete scoresheets and photo verification and hand them to your League Manager so reporting lands within 4 hours of the final game. Confirm the night's staff hours match who actually worked. Before you leave, send a short end-of-night crew report: who performed, who slipped, what broke and what you fixed.

• Protect your League Manager's time. You are the first stop for every operational question from crew and venue staff. Settle disputes your crew brings you first, and only pull your League Manager off the floor for disputes you can't settle, injuries, venue conflicts or captain complaints, so they can spend the night with athletes and fans growing the league.

REQUIREMENTS

• 1+ year leading or supervising people in events, hospitality, retail, fitness or sports operations, such as a shift lead, supervisor or head coach. You've taught someone a task and held them to it, and you know how to upsell or ask for the sale.

• Comfortable with tech setup (cameras, laptops, Wi-Fi, streaming apps) and you troubleshoot before you call for help.

• Calm under pressure. You can correct someone directly without making it personal.

• Available every game night at your location (roughly 6pm to midnight, including weekends) and on site for the full night.

• A real relationship with basketball: you've played, coached, refereed or organized.

• Reliable transportation.
