I’ve been struggling to keep all the parents in the loop about schedules and updates for our team. Group texts often get overwhelming, and emails sometimes go unread. How do you all handle communication with team parents? Any tips or tools you find helpful?
Great question — and one we hear all the time. Consistent parent communication is one of the biggest challenges in youth sports. At S34T, we see teams have the most success when they centralize updates in one place instead of relying on scattered group texts and emails.
Using a single form of communication (text/email) for schedules, reminders, ticket links, parking info, and last-minute changes makes it easier for parents to stay informed without feeling overwhelmed.
Following along here in Ask the Coach, plus having one trusted source for gameday info, helps cut through the noise and keeps everyone on the same page.
Really appreciate this conversation — great tips coming from the community already.
