Text Messaging Service for Sports Leagues
Make Management, Communication, and Scheduling Easier
Where Texting "Comes Into Play"
The Ways Texting Appears in the Sports League World
Keep Everyone on The Same Page
Being a manager or coach within a sports league means having to keep both your players and their parents always in communication. Things go wrong, and plans change. As a result, it is up to you to inform everyone ahead of time what the plan will be going forward.
Collect Information Easier
Formerly, pen to paper was the most efficient way to collect names, addresses, and contact info of players and their families. Now, texting allows you the capability to have that same information be communicated all over a digital format without having to worry about copying that information over or it getting lost.
Create a Schedule of Texts
Season schedules come out in advance for a reason. Be sure everyone knows when games are by setting up texts to go out well in advance. This can be an hour, a day, or even a week before each game for maximum reliability.
Send Pictures
Everyone is busy and that means that sometimes parents miss a game or two. If a parent is unable to arrive at a game, keep them engaged by sending them a picture of their son or daughter having a fun time. This is a great way to be sure the parent is as engaged with their child as they should be and also a way to show the parent how sports is beneficial to their child.
TXTImpact's Texting Features
Making Use of What We Have to Offer
Create a Texting List
This list is the start of your texting career as a manager. It is what gathers all the families on one form of communication. This is a far more formal way to conduct mass texts rather than group chats. Parents can text you back if they need to without having to disturb others on the texting list.
Send Texts to All Members
Once you've created your texting list, you can send your texts to anyone who is a part of it. This is the way you send out reminders and ask for volunteers. This also makes it far easier to collect money. If there are still a few stragglers, rather than contacting them directly, you can send a text to all members reminding them to pay their fees.
Set Your Texts Ahead of Time
When your season schedule is set, schedule as many reminders as you see fit before games or special events. This list is always able to be edited in case something happens where a game needs to be cancelled or delayed.
