About

TeamGuard

Features
Read full description

TeamGuard is team messaging built for youth sports clubs, with child-safety compliance built into the core of how it works, not bolted on as a setting. WHY TEAMGUARD Most messaging apps treat youth sports communication like any other group chat. TeamGuard doesn't. Any time a coach messages an athlete who is a minor, that athlete's parents or guardians are automatically included in the conversation: automatically, and permanently. There's no way to message a minor without their guardian present, and no way for a guardian to be removed from a conversation involving their own child. BUILT FOR EVERY ROLE IN YOUR CLUB • Admins manage the club, roster, and subscription • Head Coaches get club-wide visibility across every team • Coaches message their athletes and post team announcements • Parents stay in the loop on every conversation involving their athlete • Athletes connect with coaches and teammates, safely FEATURES • Real-time messaging with instant push notifications • Team-wide announcements (coach-only posting) • Direct and group conversations • Message editing and flagging for moderation • Automatic guardian inclusion for any minor's conversations: built-in, not optional TeamGuard is built for clubs that take child-safety obligations seriously, and want technology that enforces those obligations rather than just suggesting them.
