Coaches Overview

Coaches, team managers, or team parents use the Administrator side of MyKidsCalendar to build schedules for their team.

MyKidsCalendar allows for three layers for your group structure: Group Level, Division Level, and Team Level.

For Example: Your Group is the overall program (for example, Des Moine Youth Football).

Under the Group, you can set up as many “Divisions” as you like (for example, Football and Cheerleading).

You can then can easily set up as many “Teams” under each Division as you need (3rd Grade, 4th Grade, 5th Grade, etc.).

Once you have created your organization’s structure, you can then create the event locations. Locations can be added, along with their addresses, website, and directions. And once a location is added, it is always available and never has to be added again.

Now you can start populating events in the calendar. All event types can be added: practices, games, matches, scrimmages, pizza parties – or any other event type you may need. Recurring events, like practices that occur at regular days and times, are entered once and easily repeated to make populating your schedule as quick and easy as possible. Coaches can also easily add “Notes” to each event like “Make sure to bring water or Gatorade”, “Please arrive 30 minutes early for a pre-game shoot-around”, “Or wear your blue uniform.” Coaches can also send alert messages which are displayed to parents when they log-on to MyKidsCalendar.

The Administrator (or coaches) and Parents sides of MyKidsCalendar are linked in important ways. When parents register and Add a team schedule, their email is added to a list of parents’ emails for that particular team. When a practice time is changed, or a game is added or removed from the schedule, or any other event change is made, coaches need only make the change on MyKidsCalendar, click one box, and an email will be automatically generated and sent to the associated parents for that team. In addition, when the schedule change or addition is made by the coach or administrator, it immediately and automatically shows up in all parents’ personal calendars who are associated with that team. Parents don’t need to do a thing to have a completely up-to-date calendar.

MyKidsCalendar can be easily integrated into your existing team or league website, or can be used stand-alone. The cost for MyKidsCalendar is based on the number of players in your group or team, and the number of months a year the tool is utilized - as low as $5.00 per month for travel teams of less than 25 players. And all the information you’ve added (locations, contacts, events) is kept waiting for you for your next season; no need to re-enter it each year.
