Chat & announcements

Club communication a parent can actually follow

Team chats build themselves with your teams, announcements reach the whole club with seen-by tracking, and guardians can see everything their child is part of.

Team chat

The end of WhatsApp chaos

Six group chats, three of them dead, one with the wrong under-9s parents still in it, and the important message about Saturday buried under forty thumbs-up. Club communication deserves better than a tool that was designed for a family holiday.

Chats that build themselves

Create a team and its chat already exists, with the right people in it. No admin exporting phone numbers into a fresh group every February.

Direct messages

One-to-one messages inside the same app as everything else — so a coach can reach a parent without handing out a personal mobile number.

Roles and ownership

Every chat has owners and roles. When a manager steps down mid-season, the group doesn’t walk out the door with them.

Edit and unsend

Fix the wrong ground address instead of firing off three corrections. Sent something you shouldn’t have? Unsend it.

Close with a transcript

When a season or a group ends, close the chat and keep the transcript. The conversation is archived, not vaporised.

Read cursors and unread counts

Per-member read cursors mean you can see a message landed — and members see exactly what they haven’t caught up on yet.

Safeguarding

The child-safety case for getting off group chats

A club group chat on a consumer messaging app is a safeguarding problem wearing a convenience costume. Adults and children in one thread. Personal phone numbers handed around. No club oversight, no club ownership, and nothing left behind if something ever goes wrong.

ClubEzy is built the other way around. Chat lives inside the club, under the club’s roles — and a guardian can see anything their child takes part in. Not as a setting an adult can quietly switch off, but as how it works.

  • Guardians can view anything a child account participates in
  • Members message through the club, not through personal phone numbers
  • Chats belong to the club, with owners and roles — not to whoever made the group
  • Closing a chat keeps a transcript, so there’s a record if a concern is ever raised
  • It sits alongside your accreditations, agreements and privacy controls
Announcements

Some messages aren’t a conversation

The wet-weather call, the AGM notice, the presentation-day details, the reminder that fees close Friday. They go out once, to everyone, and what you need afterwards isn’t a stream of replies — it’s the knowledge that people read it.

Announcements go club-wide with rich text and comments, and seen-by tracking tells you who has actually opened it. The activity feed keeps the rest of the club’s news in one place, with notifications routed to the surface that suits: feed, chat or a push to the lock screen.

  • Org-wide announcements with rich text, so a notice can carry real structure
  • Comments on announcements — questions get answered once, in the open
  • Seen-by tracking, so you chase the people who haven’t read it, not everyone
  • An activity feed that pulls the club’s latest into one place
  • Per-surface notification routing: feed, chat or push, depending on urgency
