Game Day Operator (New Jersey)

Brodie Rec League • Fairfield, NJ

1d • $16 - $16 • Onsite

About The Position

The Game Day Operator runs the court and welcomes athletes on game night. Depending on the needs of the evening, the Game Day Lead assigns the operator to the score table, check-in, or floor setup. The role ensures games are accurate, on time, and streamed, while helping athletes feel welcomed throughout the evening. The League Manager hires, schedules, and develops operators; the Game Day Lead trains and leads them on the floor. Strong performance can provide a path into floor leadership.

The operator runs the scoreboard, game clock, BallerTV stream, and scoresheet; helps set up and break down the gym; assists with check-in and athlete questions; and moves between duties as assigned so every court and the entrance are covered. Operators must complete training, a shadow shift, and certification before their first solo shift. The position is permanent part-time, on site at the assigned venue for the full game-night shift, generally from approximately 6 p.m. to midnight, including weekends.

Requirements

• Experience in a customer-facing, fast-paced setting such as hospitality, retail, events, fitness, or recreational sports.
• A strong relationship with basketball through playing, coaching, refereeing, scorekeeping, or organizing, and sufficient knowledge to follow calls and answer rules questions.
• Accuracy under pressure while managing a clock, scoresheet, and stream, and the ability to remain neutral when players challenge decisions.
• Outgoing communication style and comfort initiating conversations with new people, greeting them, and remembering names.
• Comfort with technology, including tablets, phones, and streaming apps, and the ability to troubleshoot before seeking help.
• Availability for game nights at the assigned venue, approximately 6 p.m. to midnight and including weekends; ability to be on site for the full shift and reliable transportation.
• Completion of training, a shadow shift, and certification before the first solo shift.

Responsibilities

• Operate the score table, keeping the scoreboard, clock, BallerTV iPad, and scoresheet accurate; manage the shot clock, fouls, timeouts, possession arrow, substitutions, jersey numbers, and timing rules.
• Set up and operate the BallerTV stream before games, confirm it is live at tip-off and halftime, monitor battery and framing, and follow the procedure for resolving stream interruptions.
• Welcome athletes and fans; conduct check-in, distribute jerseys, answer questions, greet teams, learn captains’ names, and direct drop-in players and spectators to the League Manager.
• Help ensure games are fair and on time by providing at least five minutes of warm-up, starting games on time but never early, and checking scoresheets for overdue balances and unrostered players; notify referees and the Game Day Lead when issues arise.
• Set up the gym according to the site map and Game Day Lead’s assignments, including courts, score tables, check-in, and brand fixtures; at closing, return equipment and scoresheets, clear the court, store banners, and confirm with the Game Day Lead before clocking out.
• Rotate between the score table, check-in, and floor duties as assigned to cover every court and keep the entrance staffed, including during forfeits and no-shows.
• Stay calm and respond promptly to problems: stop the clock and contact the Game Day Lead about disputed scores, equipment failures, ejections, or players missing from the scoresheet; stop play and get the League Manager immediately for injuries, fights, or emergencies.
• Follow the Brodie Standard by wearing the full uniform, arriving on time, carrying a walkie, remaining neutral during play, keeping only water at the table, limiting personal phone use to checking the stream, completing required training and certification, and accepting on-the-spot feedback.
