Coaches,
My daughter plays for a 16-under team in Kansas. Her coach used to complain about the time it took to call and email all the players and parents with team news or any other little detail that needed to be told. He was looking for a more efficient way to communicate with them.
What he found was a company called MSGNTXT Mobile Services. They are a broadcasting company out of Oklahoma. What we had to do as parents and players was simply send a text with a codeword and a keyword to a certain number. This allowed us to subscribe to the coach's broadcast. Anytime he sends out a message to the team, we all receive it on our cell phones. A lot less time for our coach and a better chance that we are going to get the message because we all carry our phones with us, but we all don't check our email everyday.
If anyone is interested you should check them out, at msgntxt.com. I asked our coach about the cost and other charges and all he told me was it was one flat rate and unlimited messages and subscriptions. Sounded pretty good to me.
