Sport Ngin launches Team Management Tuesday


Sport Ngin employees celebrate the launch of their new product Tuesday.

On Tuesday, Sport Ngin released a new set of features called team management. The new features of team management are great new tools designed to help coaches and team managers communicate with their team via text, email, and in app messages. The new features allow teams to communicate instantly with their team (athletes & parents) as well as add events and track RSVPs to each team event, all from an easy to use mobile application. 

YHH got a demo on Tuesday at the Sport Ngin office in Minneapolis, Steve Tran from Sport Ngin had this to say about team management, "we're proud to work with so many hockey associations in Minnesota. By releasing these all new team management features in time for the upcoming season, at no cost for coaches, we know that it's going to make a huge difference for every coach, on every team, of every association who uses Sport Ngin." 

Team Texting

Every youth coach or team manager at some point has a way of communicating to their team. Some do group texts or even email to remind their team of events or changes in the schedule. Team Management eliminates this hassle for the admin of the team. Parents simply choose how they want to receive their message (text, email, both) and when a message is sent they know everyone will have it instantly. 


Team Management gives team admins the ability to team text on the fly!

Know Who's Coming?

By giving team members the power to RSVP to scheduled events, practices or games right from their phones (or any other device), coaches eliminate hours of back-and-forth with one look at their team’s availability screen in Team Center.

On the Fly
 
Let's face it youth hockey can have its challenges when it comes to scheduling. The new team management features allow for a change on the fly update to the calendar that will adjust automatically to your calendar but will also send recipients a notification of the change.
 
No Charge
 
What makes the these new features so great is that current Sport Ngin customers get this tool for free. Sport Ngin Director of Marketing Jim Dahline was pretty excited about these new features on Tuesday and what it means to hockey people in Minnesota, "nearly every hockey association in Minnesota uses our Registration product and for them, the process is really smooth. After rostering their players, their coaches can immediately begin sending messages to their team. No extra charge, no extra invites, no extra headaches that come with using other team management apps out there."
 
As we prepare for the up coming season, it looks like teams will have a few less organizational burdens headed their way.
