Keeping parents in the loop without the group chat

Parents want to help, they just need the right information at the right time. How to keep them informed without a 200-message group chat.

Keeping parents in the loop without the group chat

For youth teams, parents are your transport, your kit washers and your loudest supporters. Keeping them informed is half the job, but a single group chat for everything quickly turns into noise.

Separate announcements from chatter

Use announcements for the things that matter: times, venues and cancellations. Keep the friendly chat for lift shares and photos.

Let parents reply for their children

In Ember, parents and guardians answer availability on behalf of their child, so you are not waiting on a ten-year-old to check their messages.

Protect everyone's privacy

Parents see the fixtures and the squad, but never each other's phone numbers. Only coaches and club admins can see contact details.

  • One place for times and venues
  • Replies from the right person
  • Contact details kept private
