Coaches,
Does anyone you MaxOne or Remind 101 to communicate with players and parents on a regular basis? I just recently took a job, so we are very behind other programs. I'm looking to provide parents and players with some sort of method at our upcoming parent meeting to use as a cheap and easy form of communicating. Reminders such as: weight lifting, camp, 7on7, etc. Thanks!

All of the HCs here use remind 101. Its great because you can turn off the replying and just have a way to communicate with a lot of people.
It also shows you who has seen it, which is great for those shady people you will have.

The Remind App has been great for our program. I highly recommend it.

We are going to REMIND from another group text app. A big selling point for us is the ability for us to add those, who for whatever reason, can't remember to join. Now there is no excuse.....

Our school uses remind for all athletics and school organizations, I recommend it highly! Now you don't have to worry about who saw it or trying to make a bunch of group texts for people and they claim they never got the message.

I send them texts and emails using the 8to18 system that the school to record player registrations, insurance, emergency contacts, and insurance. Problem is that I have a crippled account since I am not a teacher/admin so I can send to everyone (parents and players) or nobody, no groups or lists or anything. I send them emails from my computer with addresses I've harvested from their player registrations, including Hudl. That lets me slice/dice who I send what better than the 8to18 system. I sent them texts (mostly) and emails (much less, I use my computer for that) using DialMyCalls.com with addresses I've harvested from their player registrations. This costs $$ but is not that expensive ($25 buys 300 credits, a text message is 1 credit). It gives me a number of message formats (text, phone recordings, text-to-voice) and tells me who got what so I know which phones are not text and who read it. I manage a Twitter account (bhhs_football) that I use for sayings, motivations, good mentions, players doing well, that kind of thing. I manage a team website - www.bullfrogfootball.com - that has our full schedule (Google calendar), info on all fundraisers, team events, links, all that kind of thing. I will also hand out flyers after practices. I was once told by a youth parent that I was the first coach that over communicated. |

We use Team App. Has all our info on it from practice to game schedules and you can push notifications out with it. Biggest issue is people not signing up for it.

We use some sort of Reminder program-- not sure if it's called Remind 101, for sure. I think it works well. We have a lot of parents who aren't highly involved, exactly. But if you send out a message on Tuesday that says, "We have weightlifting and open field practice tomorrow that will be important for guys to learn what they need to work on between now and fall camp if they want to compete for a position." etc. The parents will then at least tell their kids that they better get to the practice rather than hanging around at the house and telling their parents that the practice is just totally voluntary and not important. Just a for instance.
