Policies & Procedures Manuals

In this new century, it is important that athletics programs be thorough and consistent in their presentation of information to both internal staff and external constituents. A policies and procedures manual that is complete and updated on an annual basis is a task that every athletics program should embark on and complete. Alden & Associates, Inc. has experience in creating and updating these important foundation-based documents for your program.

If there currently is no policies and procedures manual or student-athlete handbook, we are able to create a complete document for you. We will analyze the policy-oriented documents that you have in place, as well as discuss with you the policies and procedures that should be included. From there we create the first draft for your review. The same process applies to a student-athlete handbook.

If you currently have a policies and procedures manual, student-athlete handbook, etc. that simply needs updating, revising, or simply a more "user-friendly" polish placed on it, we can assist you as well.

We create the following for you:

• General Table of Contents

• Detailed Table of Contents

• Chapters by Topical Format

• Appendix

• Index

We can also work with your Information Technology Office to place the document(s) on your institutional Intranet so that they are available to your staff or student-athletes at the touch of a key. As an example, if a coach needs information on the Athletic Training Program, he or she can find out quickly and efficiently.

Our goal is to create an informative, easy-to-access manual or handbook that represents all of the important information regarding your athletics program. Policies and procedures manuals, student-athlete handbooks, and other internal documents are critically important to both produce and update. Every athletics administrator understands that dusting off the manual or handbook will lead toward a better understanding of the program, as well as a safer foundation from which the intercollegiate athletics program may operate.
