How often do you find yourself answering to parents when and where the next competition takes place? How long does it take for your team to remember changes in the training schedule? We did it way too many times and thought that there’s got to be a better solution. But what would it be? Is putting schedules up on your club homepage enough? What about emailing? A mail client calendar? Do you really have to post the weekly training schedule on Facebook groups every week, 52 times a year? Seriously?
All contact information of your athletes and their parents should be stored at one place - Sportlyzer. This information should always be up-to-date. Let’s say an athlete’s parents change their email addresses, everybody who trains that kid should get that information and be able to contact the parents without having to think about what email address to use. This is exactly what we do in Sportlyzer..
Sportlyzer stores all contact information of all your athletes and their parents in one location. When a new member joins the Team, she is added to the system and so are her parents. Coaches and managers are able to use that information to send out emails or SMS directly through Sportlyzer. You can for example choose to send an email to everybody who is supposed to come to the competition next week and ask them to let you know if they are coming or not. You can even send them attachments with emails and it will only take you a couple of minutes!
If you are using Sportlyzer as a club, you will especially love the fact that athletes’ contact information is shared across all coaches. So if one coach updates the contact information of one of the kids, this information is automatically sent to the managers of the club as well as all the other coaches, who are coaching this kid.
