Connecting Coaches to Families: A Streamlined Sports Team Communication App

1 Min Read
Making coaches' and directors' lives easier

Communicating with your athletes’ parents and guardians is now easier than ever with Hudl’s family member accounts.

As a club coach or director, you know that staying in touch with your athletes’ family members is essential. You can’t be truly efficient without this communication.

You’ve probably tried a variety of solutions that have left you frustrated with multiple apps and spreadsheets. What you really need is one platform you’re already familiar with—one that makes it easy to quickly share updates to everyone that needs them.

Hudl is now the only solution you need to message your athletes and their family members.

Easily communicate all your updates on one team communication app.

You’ve likely been using Hudl to message your team for years. But we’d like to introduce a new type of account that will streamline all your communication: family member accounts. 

Whether you want to send a message individually, to a small group or to the whole organization, it’s painless. All that communication can now happen on Hudl. No more separate group text messages or trying to keep everyone’s phone number straight. Share everything you need to share once, on one platform, and boom—you’re done.

Messaging on Hudl is just like text messaging on your phone.

Family member signups couldn’t be easier. 

Here’s how it works:

  1. Club coaches and/or directors simply need to share the team code with family members in whatever way works best—email, text, printout, etc., it’s up to you.
  2. Family members head to hudl.com/jointeam to sign up with that team code in just a few steps.
  3. Coaches then approve the new “team members.”
Only takes a few steps to get signed up

Once they’re on Hudl, family members can use the team messaging platform to stay in the loop easier and quicker. They can log in from the web or the Hudl app, so they can see your updates on the go. But don’t worry—family accounts can’t access any of your team film, stats or playlists. These accounts are message-only, though in the future, they’ll also have access to their athletes' schedules.

And that’s not all that’s on Hudl. The new fan experience ensures family members will never miss a moment. Everything they want to see, including your club’s livestreams and schedules, is right at their fingertips. With family members already logged in to their own accounts, everything is only a tap or click away.

Hudl has everything you need to run your club smoothly. Family member accounts are already available on your club’s team account—log in today and start communicating.
