TIME OUTS

PLANNING TIME OUTS

Being organised on Game Day is essential, especially if your Sports Arena uses an Announcer and/or Music D.J.   The last thing you will want is a long embarassing pause with the Time Out clock rapidly ticking down.
Make sure you have all your routines and intervals worked out beforehand and clearly written down. You will need one copy for yourselves, plus copies for the Announcer and sound crew.
A full size Time Out planner sheet can be viewed by clicking the image shown on the left.   You can print it out from your regular internet browser.   The Planner is designed to be used for a variety of sports. Strike through sections not applicable.
Music for each routine should be recorded on good quality leaderless tape, pre-edited, with one track per cassette and clearly labelled.   The tape should be pre-wound and ready just to slot and go. You should have a full set of backup cassettes available as well.
If you have all your music on labelled cassettes, arranged in order for that day, the D.J. can quickly select the tape specified from your Planner Sheet.   The moment you hit position on the sidelines or on court your routine should be cued spot on.
Looking professional is being well organised.
