Summary

SCL approached me about overhauling their brand, focusing first on the website. Our goals were to provide a seamless registration process for parents and players, create a site easily updated and managed by SCL staff, integrate with scheduling and recruiting APIs, provide information on SCL’s three core programs, and update brand guidelines to include digital-specific items.

My Role
As brand manager for Storm Club Lacrosse (SCL), a girl’s lacrosse program in Massachusetts, I was responsible for redesigning the logo, website, and apparel. As a result, the club saw increased digital registration and engagement. Storm Club Lacrosse was recently purchased by 3Step Sports, the largest youth sports event and club operator in the nation.

Methods
  • Evaluate current flow with customer journey mapping and data insights
  • Set up interviews and focus groups with parents
  • Update and document key user flows
  • Create visual design assets and styles
  • Integrate APIs (MindBody and SportsEngine)
  • Evaluate pain points
  • Iterate
Obstacles
  • SCL had seen a decrease in online registration due to their checkout process being, in their user’s words, “an endless maze” and “makes me question how much my daughter likes lacrosse.”
Reflections + Outcomes

As a result of my work, we established a multiyear relationship involving a rebrand and social campaign and uniform designs, net positive parent sentiment including a 90% drop in complaints, and ultimately the program was acquired by a much larger youth sports organization.
