How to sort availability before Saturday
Chasing replies on a Friday night is nobody's idea of fun. A simple weekly rhythm gets you a full squad list days before kick-off.
Most coaches lose more time to availability than to anything else. The fix is less about chasing harder and more about asking at the right moment.
Ask early, on the same day every week
Send the request for Saturday's game straight after midweek training, while the session is fresh. Players and parents learn the rhythm and start replying without being asked twice.
Make replying effortless
A message buried in a busy group chat gets missed. In Ember, each fixture has its own in, out and maybe buttons, so a reply takes one tap from the notification.
Set a cut-off, and let reminders do the chasing
Tell the squad you pick the team on Thursday evening. Ember reminds anyone who hasn't answered before your cut-off, so you only need to follow up with one or two people yourself.
- Ask on the same day each week
- One fixture, one reply
- A clear cut-off, with automatic reminders
