Parks and Rec Sports Programs
Community youth sports leagues focus on the basics. Children who play sports learn critical skills such as friendly competition, respect, and teamwork. Since these programs stress the importance of knowing the fundamentals, scoring solutions can be an excellent educational tool.
Conversely, adult parks and rec sports leagues are more competitive and offer a chance to stay physically active. Some parks and recreation departments might benefit from upgrades, accessories, and add-ons to fuel the adult league competitive spirit.
Soccer
Often, parents register their kids for the local soccer team at an early age. When children as young as three years old participate in a community soccer program, they can exert energy as they learn how to dribble, pass, shoot, and more. As they grow older, coaches can leverage the scoreboard as a visual aid when explaining how the game works.
Parks and recreation youth soccer leagues can benefit from the following scoring solutions:
- Basic soccer scoreboards showing the time, half, and score
- Intelligent caption™ scoreboards with team name, penalty, and corner kick personalization capabilities
- User-friendly handheld controllers that make demonstrating how scoring works easy
T-Ball and Slow-Pitch Softball
Children involved in T-ball learn basics such as hitting, catching, throwing, and running bases. As kids grow older and transition into more competitive T-ball or coach pitch leagues, they learn more detailed aspects of the game. Scoring solutions such as the following can help youth parks and rec T-ball players learn:
- Basic scoreboards that indicate the score, inning, balls, strikes, and outs
- Inning-by-inning scoreboards that display the runs scored by each team every inning
- Pitch-count displays that show how many pitches each team throws
- Intelligent caption™ scoreboards with customization capabilities
- Handheld baseball and softball controllers to easily show how scoring works
Many communities also offer men’s, women’s, and co-ed slow-pitch softball leagues to give adults a chance to relieve stress and remember their glory days. Since adult sports leagues are more competitive than youth programs, accessories and add-ons such as pitch count and speed indicators can elevate game days.
Volleyball
Passing, setting, hitting, serving, and basic rotations are standard fundamentals of volleyball that children learn in parks and recreation leagues. Multi-sport, intelligent caption™ scoreboards are an excellent choice for youth and adult league volleyball, in addition to the following:
- Scorers tables that give volunteers a place to record substitutions
- Easy-to-use handheld volleyball scoreboard controllers
Track & Field
Community youth track & field programs teach children the difference between different races, the importance of staying in your lane, passing the baton, how to triple or long jump, and more. It gives kids the opportunity to determine their strengths. Scoring solutions to help educate include:
- Intelligent caption™ track scoreboards, such as the Model 7680
- FinishLynx Timing Systems to reduce the number of hand timers needed for each lane
Basketball
The majority of parks and recreation departments offer youth basketball leagues. Children learn how to play as a team in addition to essential skills like dribbling, shooting, passing, and playing defense. Community centers offering local youth sports can utilize scoring solutions such as:
- Single-sided basketball scoreboards that display a range of information, from the score, quarter, time, and possession to fouls and player number
- Electronic Team Names to customize team name for every team that plays at the facility
- Portable basketball scoreboards like the Model 750 for tournament days
- Scorers tables for the scorekeeper and other record-keeping volunteers
- Handheld basketball controllers for easy scorekeeping
Adult basketball leagues are typically much more competitive than youth programs. Therefore, accessories like the following can elevate game days:
- Shot clocks that bring more pressure to the game
- Portable shot clocks, like the Model PSC-14 and PSC-18
- Possession indicators to reference after jump balls
- Stat panels outlining every in-game player’s points and fouls
Hockey
Parks and recreation youth programs frequently start children in floor hockey before transitioning to ice. While on the floor, children learn skills such as passing, dribbling, shooting, stick-checking, and more. As they become more comfortable with the basics, they learn the basics of skating and put the two together. Nevco’s hockey scoreboards and add-ons can help:
- Basic single-sided scoreboards that display a range of information, from the score, period, and time to penalty time, shots on goal, and player number
- Electronic Team Names to show each team that plays at the facility
- Hockey goal light systems that indicate when the puck passes the threshold
Swimming
Parks department aquatics are a popular option for kids. It keeps them physically active and allows them to have fun simultaneously. Children learn basics such as staying afloat, treading water, diving, and more. Nevco’s customizable swimming scoreboards display all the necessary information for when youth swim teams begin competing.
Tennis
Tennis leagues are popular for children and adults alike. While youth teams learn how to serve and adequately hit, adults often take the competition to a new level. Whatever the level of play, our tennis scoring solutions are reliable and high-quality:
- Basic scoreboards showing one court’s games and scores
- Multi-court tennis scoreboards, like the Model 9650, that keep fans updated on all matches
- Custom team name caption plates
- Handheld controllers for easy score display
Football
Many community youth football teams don’t tackle, but kids learn fundamentals such as positioning, throwing, catching, punting, and more. Many adults enjoy an organized touch or flag football league to blow off steam. Parks and recreation football leagues can take advantage of our football scoring product suite:
- Basic football scoreboards showing items ranging from the quarter, score, and time to possession, downs, yards to go, and at what yard line the ball rests
