What MyTeams solves

MyTeams gathers functions that team managers otherwise handle through multiple channels: registration for matches and training sessions, overview of who is coming, simple communication with parents, and season planning. The app replaces message threads, spreadsheets and separate calendars with one place where all information sits.

For teams struggling with late or incomplete responses from players, the app provides a concrete solution: parents see the invitation on their phone, respond with one tap, and the team manager immediately sees who has confirmed. This is especially useful before matches where you need eleven players ready, and where a cancellation requires notice to opponents and referees well in advance.

Registration and attendance

When you create a match or training session in MyTeams, the invitation goes out to players' parents. They respond yes, no or maybe, and you see directly in the app who has not yet answered. This removes the need to chase people in message threads or wait for late responses the evening before a match.

A concrete advantage: if you see that only eight have confirmed two days before a league match, you send a reminder to those who have not responded, and you know early enough to find solutions – whether that means borrowing a player from another team or adjusting the lineup.

Communication gathered in one place

Instead of sending messages in a group chat where important information drowns between pictures and comments, you use the app to share messages that actually get read. The coach can post a message about changed meeting time, and it appears where parents already check to register attendance.

This reduces misunderstandings. When a message about kit exchange or changed changing room sits in the same place as the match registration, you avoid questions from parents who missed the information in a long message thread.

Season overview

MyTeams lets you enter all matches and training sessions for the entire season. This gives parents the opportunity to plan family life far ahead, and it makes your job as team manager easier when you avoid answering questions about dates that already sit in the calendar.

When the match schedule changes – which happens in most teams at least once per season – you update the match in the app, and everyone affected receives notification. You avoid the situation where half the team shows up at the wrong time because they did not catch the change.

Statistics and playing time

The app has functions for recording playing time, goals and events during the match. This is useful for coaches who want to monitor that all players get sufficient playing time over the season, especially in age groups where NFF's guidelines require even distribution.

By noting who played how long in the previous match, you can make informed decisions about substitutions in the next. It helps you avoid unintended imbalances where some players get significantly more time than others, which goes against the principles of grassroots football.

For parents who want to follow along

Parents get access to the team's calendar, see who has registered, and can register their own child on or off without having to go through the team manager. This saves team managers administrative tasks and gives parents control over their own participation.

A practical detail: when a parent registers absence, they can add a short comment (ill, away, other activity). This helps the team manager distinguish between one-off absences and patterns that may require a conversation.

What the app requires from you

MyTeams works best when you enter matches and training sessions at the start of the season, and keep the information updated when changes occur. This takes a few minutes, but saves you far more time later when you avoid answering questions and chasing registrations.

The app does not replace all communication – some conversations must still happen face to face or by phone – but it removes much of the administrative work that takes time away from the actual football.
