About The Position

The Game Day Lead owns game-night operations, managing the gym floor so the League Manager can focus on relationships with captains, players, and fans. The role ensures the gym is set up according to the site map, every stream is live, staff roles are covered, and the crew meets the Brodie Standard.

The position reports to the League Manager and is described as a direct path to that role.

Ensure BallerTV is set up and streaming on every court before the first tip-off; monitor streams during the night, have operators restore dropped streams, and log incidents.
Teach Game Day Operators how to set up and troubleshoot streams so the operation does not depend on one person.
Assign roles and rotations for Game Day Operators, Referees, Athlete Highlight Specialists, and media staff; redeploy staff when there are forfeits or no-shows and keep check-in staffed and moving.
Address overdue balances before athletes play and escalate issues that are not easily resolved to the League Manager.

When the League Manager is off-site, take charge of the night and crew, make forfeit calls when teams do not show, and send idle staff home when appropriate.
Document recurring staff performance issues and escalate them to the League Manager.
Train staff by demonstrating tasks, observing them perform tasks, and checking their work; enforce standards for uniform, positions, focus, branding, and phone use.
Coach staff on the spot when mistakes recur, document and escalate issues after the third occurrence, provide specific feedback to each staffer nightly, and run shadow shifts for new crew.
Complete scoresheets and photo verification and give them to the League Manager so reporting is completed within four hours of the final game.
Confirm staff hours reflect who actually worked and send an end-of-night crew report covering performance, issues, and fixes.
Serve as the first point of contact for operational questions from crew and venue staff; resolve disputes when possible and involve the League Manager for unresolved disputes, injuries, venue conflicts, or captain complaints.
Connect with drop-in athletes and help ensure they have a positive experience and become league-night athletes when the League Manager is off-site.
