GameChanger Team Announcements for coaches and staff

Announcements now available at the team level

GameChanger already gives league and tournament organizers a dedicated line of communication — Organizational Announcements — to reach every team they oversee, separate from the noise in chat threads. 

Coaches and staff have that same dedicated line of communication at the team level. Now, a canceled practice, a last-minute location change, or a reminder about tournament arrival time doesn’t have to compete for attention in a busy chat thread.

Team Announcements is that channel.

Keep important team updates easy to find

When a coach or staff member sends a Team Announcement, it lands in a dedicated Announcements tab in Messages, separate from the chat thread and visible to the whole team. Recipients receive that message as an important one-way update, so the information stays front and center without getting buried.

What to send as a Team Announcement

Team Announcements works well for any update the whole team needs to see:

• Schedule changes
• Weather delays
• Practice or game reminders
• Team picture details
• Tournament updates
• General team notes
