Basketball schedules can change quickly due to factors like weather, gym availability, or opponent adjustments. The Remind app allows us to send out real-time notifications for

• ‍Practice or game time changes
• Cancellations due to weather or unforeseen circumstances
  
• Reminders for upcoming games,  meetings, or special events

With notifications sent directly to your phone, you’ll always stay informed without having to check emails constantly or rely on outdated group messages.

We know that parents and players already have full schedules, and that’s why we’ve chosen a tool that is user-friendly. Whether you’re a tech-savvy player or a busy parent, the Remind app is simple to navigate.

• Mobile app and web access allow you to receive notifications wherever you are.
• Cancellations due to weather or unforeseen circumstances
  
• Reminders for upcoming games,  meetings, or special events

We value privacy and professionalism. The Remind app enables private, one-on-one messaging between coaches, parents, and players without the need to exchange personal phone numbers. This ensures that:

• Players can ask questions directly to coaches about training or schedules.
• Parents can reach out privately with concerns or clarifications.
  
• Group messages stay focused and relevant, reducing the clutter often found in other group chats.

Communication in a large basketball program can get complicated. The Remind app helps us keep everyone in sync by allowing coaches to create multiple groups. For example:

• Team-specific channels ensure Varsity, JV, and C-team squads get tailored messages.
• Parent-only groups allow coaches to send specific information relevant just for parents.
• Volunteer or event reminders can be directed to specific individuals without confusing the entire team.

For players, receiving reminders directly helps promote accountability and responsibility. When athletes are informed of practice times, uniform requirements, or team meetings, they’re more likely to stay organized and meet expectations. This fosters a culture of commitment—one of the core values we aim to instill in every Olathe Pirate.
