I have 1 primary email, and a second one that I use in cases of emergency if the first one isn't working correctly.People are still use just one primary email address? :eek: Dang I'm not even anyone important and I have 3 separate ones, lol.
Well there you go being all efficient. Pfft...I have a work email and a personal email. I have folders set up on my personal email for each kid and each activity. After I read an email I move it to that folder so that it's easy to retrieve and review when needed.
Oh it doesn't get better as they get older either... My college team group text was a nightmare last year. Coach gave us a calendar, everything was right there. People would text "what time is the game, what time do we have to be there, what are we wearing, etc." then the captain wouldn't answer, so I would answer (I guess I was the Lola of the group!) and then some "really nice" girls went on Twitter to complain about me for answering since I wasn't the captain. Because you know, they didn't want anyone in the entire group to answer but the captain...I have my CP's Jr. team GroupMe on my phone & check in daily (would never post!). Notifications OFF. I'm not sure if it's isolated to her team, but I swear, kids are not scrolling up and using the tools available to them. They have been reminded. I want them to be learning to be self-sufficient and take initiative to figure things out for themselves. It's a slow, painful process apparently. Example:
Coach: Wear all black on Monday, your choice of bow.
Lola: Thanks!
Emma: So black top, black shorts?
Coach: Yes, all black, any color bow.
Hannah: Great!
Sara: What are we wearing Monday?
Kira: I don't know
M: What are we wearing?
Alex: What colors for practice?
Lola: All black
Krista: What bow?
SCROLL UP! Read--it's really all there. First world probs. Thank you, I feel better now.
Retweet. Still the same.Oh it doesn't get better as they get older either... My college team group text was a nightmare last year. Coach gave us a calendar, everything was right there.

Ugh I do NOT miss that team! But if you still love it then good for you! LolRetweet. Still the same.
I am not against them as long as monitored. Preferably by a coach.What are parent opinions on having a groupme for the kids on the team? They're junior aged (with a few youth aged kiddos) so I really want to try to have the kids bond and be friends in and out of practice so I thought this might be a good way to facilitate that. We do a parent groupme but I haven't done one with athletes before. Our senior teams have them (coaches supervise the groupme so it doesn't get insane) and it seemed to work well.

oh my lord this is so accurate. I remember at Summit this past year, my coach was my chaperone so right before we went to bed she'd write out her facebook post (to the team's private group-page), and it would literally give ALL THE DETAILS for the next day, down to the hour (when to wake up by, when to check into our room to get hair/makeup done, what hair we are doing, when to be ready to leave, when we compete, when our awards are, EVERYTHING) and parents would STILL comment "What hair are we doing?" "When do the girls compete" "Who's room are we meeting in?"I have my CP's Jr. team GroupMe on my phone & check in daily (would never post!). Notifications OFF.

It can be a good opportunity to help the kids learn some responsibility. My cp is older but has GroupMe with his coaches involved and he likes it a lot. Every now and then a kid will post/say something questionable and the coaches take the opportunity to remind the kids of what is acceptable and what the team/gym expectations are for their behavior.If I were to go this route, I would make sure to motion the messages and include the other coaches if they wished to be involved in it as well. Thank you for the feedback.
