Sports team management and messaging for coaches, managers, parents and players via our ClubZap app. No more costly SMS or worries about inappropriate content being published in your team chat groups.

How it works

  1. Request the chat feature to be enabled for your club via support@ClubZap.com

  2. Ensure your coaches and group administrators have the required privilege for creating new chat groups. Details on granting access here

  3. Admins/Coaches can create new groups of users as detailed here and users will receive an invite to join the new group.

  4. New users will validate their age via the ClubZap bot and provided they meet the age requirements will be accepted into the group. 

  5. Coach/Admins can send messages to groups and users can respond to events.
