Game day. Five students show up ready to help. Two go straight to the camera — because that's the fun job. Nobody touches audio. The power strips are still in the closet. And you're running around the gym answering "what should I do?" on repeat. These aren't bad students. They showed up. They care. But when everyone is "helpful" and nobody has an assignment — you get a very specific kind of chaos.
"When there's no name next to a task, nobody owns it. And when nobody owns it — either nobody does it, or you do."
— Taylor Siebert, Broadcast Ops Playbook Ep. 4
WHAT'S INSIDE
A 3-Page Worksheet You Can Use This Week
- Fill-in-the-blank fields for your 3–5 core broadcast roles
- Pre-game, during-game, and post-game task breakdowns for each position
- A "Starting Lineup" assignment table — student name, backup, and ready status for each role
- A Role Reference Guide with detailed examples for Producer, Director, Announcer, and Camera Operator
Three Steps. That's It.
No overhaul required. Just define, assign, and go.
Pick Your Roles
Choose 3–5 core positions your program needs. Camera, announcer, audio, director, producer — start with what matters most for your next event.
Define "Good"
For each role, write down what that person does before, during, and after the broadcast. A role without standards is just a label.
Assign Before Game Day
Lock in who's doing what during class — not five minutes before tip-off. Students walk in knowing their job and what success looks like.
Real students. Real broadcasts. Every one of them knew their role before they walked in.
Your Students Want to Own Something. Give Them a Role to Own.
The Broadcast Roles Worksheet gives you a simple starting point — define your crew's positions, set standards for each one, and assign students before the next event.
No overhaul. No 20-page manual. Just a printable worksheet you can use with your crew this week.
