There is no bigger pain in the ass then managing the logistics of a league or club sports team. Schedules, announcements, fund raising, and general communication amongst team members ends up as a million emails in your inbox and no one central place to go for the latest information. Inevitably, lines get crossed.
Enter TeamSnap, a new web-based service to help manage the logistics behind any club or league sports team. While, it is clearly aimed at the little league set, I can definitely see its application for cycling teams. The service covers most everything with features to help manage:
- rosters
- schedules
- messages
- payment or dues
- statistics
- photo albums
There's no doubt in my mind that with a front-end blog to communicate to the public (ie. your team's adoring fans) and a password protected management site like this on the back-end will make for one hell of an efficient team - if not a successful one.
If anyone tries it, let me know. I'd love to see how your team is using it. Meanwhile, you can bet I'll be using TeamSnap for my kids soccer teams. What a mess that is...snacks, money for trophys, end of season party...just think, this may put the "team mom" out of a job.
