Team chat for your club – no WhatsApp group needed
Every team gets a team chat, a private coaches chat and a coaches-and-parents chat – in the app and on the computer.
A chat that belongs to the team, not to someone’s phone
Need to chat with your teammates before a game or after training? Besides email, SportMember has a built-in chat tool, which is a quick and easy way of getting in touch with the rest of the team.
Group chats on WhatsApp or Facebook live outside the club: someone has to add the new player, the leavers stay in, and not every parent is on Facebook. In SportMember the chat sits in the same team app as the calendar, sign-ups and team news.
- A team chat for every team
- Private coaches chat
- Coaches and parents chat

Three chats for every team
The right conversation with the right people – without anyone having to maintain the group.
One chat for the whole team
Every team has a team chat, where messages are sent to every member on the team. Kick-off times, lifts to away games and photos from Saturday all go in one place.
Because the chat belongs to the team, the right people are in it from the start – nobody has to send invitations or remove last season’s leavers.
- Messages reach everyone on the team
- Photos and quick replies
- No invitations to manage

3 unreadA private chat for the coaches – and one with the parents
Every coach has the option of chatting internally in a private coaches chat, exclusively for the coaches of the team. Selection, tactics and planning stay between the coaches.
There is also a chat only for coaches and parents, meant for sharing information between coaches and parents – without putting parents in the players’ chat.
- Coaches-only chat per team
- Coaches and parents chat
- Parents included without Facebook

Coaches onlyOn the phone and on the laptop
The chat function can be used on both the computer version of SportMember and in the SportMember app. If you download the app, chat messages arrive as push notifications directly on the phone.
Don’t want the notifications? They can be disabled, so nobody is disturbed by a chat they only want to read now and then.
- Works in the app and on the web
- Push notifications for new messages
- Notifications can be disabled

Your choiceMore than a group chat
Always the right people
The chat follows the team, so new players are in from day one and leavers drop out on their own.
No private numbers
Coaches reach players and parents without handing out – or collecting – private phone numbers.
Next to the calendar
Chat, the training calendar and sign-ups live in the same app, so messages and plans stay together.
What clubs say about SportMember
“A great app for our club to communicate and stay connected.”
“Great overview, and communication with the team works flawlessly.”
“Extremely useful for scheduling and team communication — a real time saver.”
Why teams move their chat into SportMember
A group chat works until someone leaves the team, a parent is never added, or the message about Saturday disappears under forty replies about a lost water bottle.
When the chat sits next to the calendar and the team list, the audience is always right. And when a message needs to reach the whole club, the team communication app sends it by push and email.
