Quick Tip- Right Fit Pathway
Stop Just Signing People Up. Start Putting Them On The Right Path.
Most headaches in recreation start at -registration.
A parent says, “We want to join the basketball league.”
You’re busy. You say, “Great, let’s get her in.”
Three weeks later:
- The kid is overwhelmed.
- The parent is frustrated.
- You’re stuck explaining why “this isn’t what we expected.”
The problem wasn’t the league.
The problem was
You didn’t build a Right-Fit Pathway.
In Momentum, we use the Right-Fit Pathway Framework any time someone wants to join a program:
1. Dream Check – “What are you hoping for?”
- “What are you hoping your child gets out of this season?”
2. Skill Check – “Where are they starting from?”
- “Have they played before? On a team, clinic, or just for fun?”
3. Life Check – “What can you actually commit to?”
- “How many days a week can you realistically get here for practices and games?”
Then you recommend the "path", not just the program.
Example:
Parent: “She wants to play in the basketball league to learn organized sports.”
You run Dream / Skill / Life Check and realize:
- First-time player
- Wants confidence and basics
- Can commit to practice + game
So you say:
“The best path is
Fundamental Basketball 101 + the league.
The class gives her skills in a smaller setting; the league lets her use them in real games. That’s how we build confidence instead of frustration.”
She came in asking for a league.
She leaves with a Right-Fit Pathway.
Your move for today
Next time a parent asks about a program, don’t jump straight to signup.
Use this script:
“Before I place you, can I ask three quick questions to maximize her opportunities?”
Then do: Dream Check → Skill Check → Life Check.
Write those three questions on a sticky note at your desk. Use them once this week.
Let’s keep the momentum rolling.
