League Manager (Atlanta)

Brodie Rec League•Atlanta, GA

8d•$60,000 - $80,000•Onsite

About The Position

The League Manager runs a Brodie League location end to end. On game nights, the manager leads the floor crew and ensures every game starts on time, on brand, and to the Brodie Standard. Throughout the rest of the week, the manager handles payroll, scheduling, league health, captain communication, and outreach with partners to fill and retain the venue’s teams. The role reports to a District Manager and, in new or smaller markets, works in partnership with a City Launcher to grow the league. The manager is accountable for creating a welcoming, professional athlete experience and meeting measurable retention and growth targets. The position combines on-site game-night leadership with independent weekday operations, including season planning, staff administration, registrations, and follow-up. Roughly half of the work week is administrative. The manager is expected to keep work visible through the CRM, Season Success Checklist, and weekly check-ins, and to develop a crew and systems that allow the location to run to standard even when the manager is not present.

Availability to work the league on game nights rather than play in it.

Reliable transportation to move brand fixtures and equipment.
Ability to attend training and check-ins with the District Manager and team at HQ as required.

Responsibilities

Schedule, brief, lead, rotate, and coach the game-night floor crew, typically 10–15 people and up to 20 at the busiest venues; maintain standards and document or escalate performance issues.
Set up the gym according to the site map, conduct the pre-game Launch Meeting, keep games on time and streaming live, resolve disputes, and complete scoresheets, photo verification, and reporting within four hours of the final game.
Welcome captains, engage with athletes between games, answer player and captain messages within 24 hours, and follow up on complaints within 48 hours.
Meet retention and growth targets by re-signing returning teams, converting players, generating referrals and ambassador teams, and reaching out to captains, lapsed teams, and personal contacts; log outreach in the CRM.
Partner with the City Launcher on growth in new or smaller markets and help new teams join and return.
Schedule regular-season games, playoffs, and all-star events in PlayerOne; balance divisions, onboard captains, roster free agents, and manage jerseys, equipment, and court bookings.

Work independently on non-game days and keep the District Manager informed through the CRM, Season Success Checklist, and weekly check-ins; raise off-track registrations or game nights early with a plan.
Partner with the District Manager to hire, train, and develop staff; create checklists and handoffs so game nights meet the manager’s standard in their absence; and advocate for more capacity when the location sells out.
