Type: Nonprofit youth sports organization

Primary Goal: Provide information about sports programs and allow families to register children online.

The organization also wants to promote healthy lifestyles and make youth sports accessible to families throughout the region.

Target Audience

The website will primarily be used by:

• Parents registering children for sports programs
• Students looking for team schedules
• Volunteer coaches
• Community members interested in supporting the organization

Many families access the internet primarily through mobile phones, and some live in rural areas with slower internet connections.

Website Functionality

The organization would like the website to include:

• Program descriptions
• Online registration forms
• Practice and game schedules
• Announcements and updates
• Volunteer sign-up forms
• Photo galleries from events

They would also like a simple system for posting updates about weather cancellations or schedule changes.

Data Collection

The website will collect information during registration, including:

• Child’s name
• Parent or guardian contact information
• Emergency contact information
• Medical information related to sports participation

The organization has not yet developed clear policies for how this information will be stored or protected.

Accessibility Considerations

The organization has not previously considered accessibility requirements but wants the website to be usable by all families in the community, including individuals with disabilities.

Some parents and grandparents who access the site may have limited technical experience.

Global and Community Context

While the organization primarily serves the local community, some families in the area speak Spanish as their primary language.

The organization would like the website to feel welcoming and inclusive for all families.

Project Success

The client believes the project will be successful if:

• Parents can easily register children online
• Families can quickly find schedules and updates
• Volunteers can sign up more easily
• The organization appears more professional to the community
