TeamSnap Tips

Most RM teams are using TeamSnap to help with communication. If your student athlete's team is using Teamsnap, here are a few simple tips.

Once rosters are set, coaches will invite any players that aren't in TeamSnap to join their TeamSnap team.

When a player joins, make sure parent contact info gets entered. While doing this, parents can get their own account by granting a parent "Shared Access". This is helpful if your child is on more than one team that uses TeamSnap or if you have more than one child on teams that use TeamSnap. 
 
If you have a smartphone, once in TeamSnap, download the free TeamSnap app and login.

Save time by not entering scheduled activities in your calendar and subscribe to the calendar that your coach has entered.

For Android Phones - Most require to first subscribe to Google Calendar  Android Directions
