Running a youth sports team, a school club, or an adult training group shouldn't mean carrying the whole workload yourself. ■ Sound familiar? - Important messages get buried in group chats - Attendance is still tracked by hand - Every time a new officer takes over, the handover notes start from zero TeamKizuKi brings members, parents, coaches, and team staff together in one place — chat, attendance, and team knowledge, all in a single app built around your team. ■ What you can do Organized team chat Split conversations into channels — announcements, practice, games — so important messages don't get lost. Read receipts show you at a glance who's seen what. One-tap attendance Going, not going, or not sure yet — just tap. Totals update automatically, and reminders go out before the deadline to anyone who hasn't replied. Team knowledge that outlives any one officer Save how the budget works, carpool rules, or anything worth remembering to your team's shared "Knowledge" space. When officers change, the team's memory doesn't disappear. One account, every team Older sibling plays baseball, younger sibling plays badminton — switch teams with a tap and keep using the same account. Notifications you actually want Turn notifications on or off per channel, and always see at a glance which team a notification is from. Invite everyone with a QR code Just show a QR code at your next parent meeting. No collecting email addresses or exchanging contact info one by one. Built for parent-led and member-led teams alike Choose how your team will be used when you create it. Groups where students or adults take part themselves are never asked for a child's name or grade. ■ Great for - Youth sports teams (soccer, baseball, and more) - School clubs and parent-teacher groups - Community clubs and other parent groups - Running clubs, training classes, and other adult or student groups TeamKizuKi helps your team carry its "now" and its "history" forward together.
