RSVP reasons from parents

The latest update allows parents and players to leave feedback (RSVP reasons) about why their kids can’t come to a training session or game.

Calendar automation: collect RSVP-s and send out schedules automatically

Why should you do things manually that can be automated by a software? Our new Calendar automation takes care of invitations (RSVP-s), weekly schedule notifications and more.

Just set up the rules and the system will then act based on those rules so you can instead invest your time in more profitable aspects in your club.

Can player evaluation and aptitude testing be harmful to kids and how to do it safely?

Unexpected reaction to our Tests feature release

Everyone in our team was excited when we released new features for player evaluation and testing and sending progress reports via email. We had planned it with the best intention to help coaches track player’s progress and give personal feedback to players – the thing that parents are missing most from their kids’ sport clubs.

Everything started very well and we got very positive feedback from many clubs using our software. But suddenly an opposition rose on our Facebook page over the issue of whether player evaluation and testing would deprive kids of fun of playing. Our post received comments like:

Attendance tracking just got beefed up with absence reasons

We have updated Sportlyzer’s attendance tracking functionality. You can now mark absence reasons, mark if players were late, write attendance related notes, and view color coded monthly reports.
