Team Messages make communication easy

By Bryan Helmkamp

We know it can be overwhelming to have lots of email threads flying around your inbox. It takes too much clicking, scrolling and searching to figure out who said what when, and every once in a while an important reply gets lost in the cracks.

With Messages, it's easy for teams to communicate and organize. Instead of sending an email, just post a message and we'll email it to your team. We'll keep an organized, online archive of the message and its replies, which you (or any of your team members) can browse with one click.

We think you'll like it. Check out this brief demo...

Update:

No worries, we didn't forget about discussions... they are safe and sound within the group Message tab. Before this change we were getting questions on how to communicate with your group since there were many ways to do so (comments, discussions, news, email...). Now, groups have one place (Messages) to fit your needs.

We've seen many ways members have been using their groups so please keep the feedback coming and we'll continue to improve communication.

    Why did you remove the Discussion Board? I've spent HOURS organizing mine with team rules, team information and parent volunteer lists. It's GONE. My season starts FRIDAY and now when my girls come to check their info IT'S GONE!

    A warning about deleting info would have been nice so that I could have copied ALL of my hours of work and backed it up. I'm completely at a loss and very upset.

    Hi Coach Teresa,

    All your hard work is still there! News and discussions have become consolidated under Messages. We noticed a couple bugs in the new feature (getting to the next page of messages broken, formatting) and we're working to fix it right now.

    Thank you 4 ur reply. Maybe a Team General Info Board would work better. A place for coaches to list all the info about the team that is asked time and time again in an organized manner. Maybe alphabetical or allowing the coach to organize by title.

    Teresa, I've learned the best way to organize general team info is to just create documents and upload them to the documents section. It's worked well so far, at least for the general stuff and I have a copy of it for years to come!

    Is there an option in the works to add an attachment to the messages, like music for cheer squads or other items of interests?

    By having both email and news you have the ability to send targeted email to your group without clogging up your news board. The way you have it now any communications to your group at large will post to the messages section making it very long.

    Sarah, TY for the suggestion. I'll give that a try. I liked having it in the discussion board because it gave parents/cheerleaders the opportunity to ask any questions I didn't address & I could answer it there within the same discussion. Thanx again :)
