Using TeamSnap to Help Sports Moms and Coaches Everywhere

Sports moms and coaches, read on for my review of using TeamSnap to make coaching life easier!

As a busy football mom, I’m always looking for ways to stay more organized and keep the prep time to a minimum. Easier said than done when you’re scheduling practices, setting up transportation for busy parents, planning snacks, drinks and fundraisers. Then you have to make sure everything’s ready, including you, for game time on Saturday. It’s enough to scare people away from participating in football, being a team mom or a coach — and where would our sports-playing kids be without them?

 

Enter TeamSnap, a new app for Android and iPhone, that helps players, parents and coaching staff all stay in the loop for the season. Easily downloadable, the app sets up in seconds, allowing for a coach to create a team, a parent to find an existing team and join it, or a player to sign in.

I downloaded and was using TeamSnap in a matter of seconds. If you’re a coach or a team mom setting it up for a coach, you’ll be done in under five minutes. The only delay I ran into at all was adding in each parent/player email address. Enter your team name, your name, then individually enter each email address to invite them to the team. Boom, done in a flash! (Keep reading for an opportunity to score your FREE three month trial of the app!)

Next up is entering games onto the schedule. Enter the location, the time, the pertinent details and everyone who signs into the app has the season schedule available in a glance. There is even a chat option so parents/players/coaching staff can chat together without knowing each others’ personal info. The location option also helps you see a map so you know where everyone has to travel.

 

using TeamSnap

 

As a team mom, texts are great but last season, one mom would send a text, 15 others would answer and before I knew it, the group text was going crazy. I’d try to get back to my day job only to have to mute my phone to avoid the 371 texts in reply, and I’d end up missing important texts unrelated to football. That wasn’t ideal, but I didn’t want to be that mom that appeared rude for not interacting. This app will solve that problem! I can stay involved but without my notification sound going off non-stop.

I can see how this will also help my son, too. He isn’t the most organized and he has his homeschooling and Halloween haunt slider/performer practice to coordinate. This app will help him see his schedule ahead of time, so he’ll have no excuse to not stay on top of his schedule and plan ahead.

 

using TeamSnap

 

Not sure how well the team is doing? Click into the extensive options menu and click on Statistics. View/upload photos that you’ve taken from the sidelines or the files that team staff can upload. This will be particularly helpful when fundraising time comes around.

The app isn’t costly either. It ranges from free, with 30 roster members, up to  $17.99 monthly per team. Busy football moms and parents won’t need to pay and there are a lot of customizations available on paid plans. (The $17.99 plan even has weather forecasting! We get a lot of rain out here in SoCal during football season, so this will really help us be prepared for practice and games in the event of the inclement weather that always occurs.)

 

Below are a few screenshots of the app in use, as well as an email that a parent or player would receive when they join. The app is colorful, light on resources and the navigation is easy.

That’s a list of the people that I added initially when testing. I’m the owner and a parent — which seems redundant but it makes sense in that parents will know who to go to for questions about the app or any changes they may need.

 

using TeamSnap
The schedule’s super-easy to see, and you can easily click on each one to get more specifics, if added. Below is the welcome letter, which is colorful, easy to skim at first glance and contains adequate direction on what to do next.

 

using TeamSnap

 

I think you’ll enjoy TeamSnap as much as I am! One message, everyone has it accessible, and there’s no “you have the wrong number” excuse or “I didn’t have a copy of the schedule.” Coaching staff and team moms don’t have to keep printing things out, and can instead make sure everyone knows that ALL the info they need is readily available in this one place, for free. No more having to squeeze time into practice nights to make announcements beyond “Check TeamSnap for this week’s info!”

 

Are your kids playing sports? Are you a busy football mom or other sport mom? Check out the free THREE MONTH trial, available here. Let me know what you think about the app!

Disneyland Paris is celebrating its 30th anniversa Disneyland Paris is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, and walking through the gates for our first visit was amazing. Also amazing: the Phantom Mansion. It has a lot of similarities to our Haunted Mansion here in California, but with a scarier spin. And for those who frequent the HM here in Anaheim, you know how often it stops mid-ride. This one didn’t stop once! It also creeped me out, and I LOVED it. The outside has shades of the Bates Motel and doesn’t have the cute factor of Disneyland California. Newer and more cleanly laid out, this whole park is pretty amazing. More info coming here and on the blog soon. Still gathering photos and putting away/distributing souvenirs.

A day in the French countryside is the stuff dream A day in the French countryside is the stuff dream vacations are made of. We drove two hours to Chablis, with new friends from Austin (private tour groups are the best!) and visited several wineries. Full confession: we tapped out early. ALL of us. So much wine. I should be embarrassed by that…maybe…but I’m not. We had an amazing French cuisine me lunch mid-day, where we enjoyed more wine. I’ll share lunch photos later. 

You save and plan so much for international travel, you need to try and relax and enjoy it. Not always easy, especially if your tour guide is sleepy or there are protests blocking the airport entry the day before you leave, but this pic kind of exemplifies our adventure. Go as far as you can. Do things you love. Be silly. And appreciate your partner’s goofy photo poses. 😆 Most of all, have fun. And drink wine.

That time, not long ago, that I spent my birthday That time, not long ago, that I spent my birthday feeding the giraffes. Bucket list ✅

Do the things you dream of. Wear the silly ears. Giggle like a kid. 

Life is way too short. There are only so many days to do all those things you’ve wanted to do. Make those memories. 

And feed the giraffes. This event is a private add-on when you visit the park. Reservations are required in advance. Worth every single penny….and I can’t wait to do it again.

Shuri was out on a walk with Dad, but for Lady Sif Shuri was out on a walk with Dad, but for Lady Sif, patience is a work in progress. This is how our goofy but lovable big girl waited for her turn.

And yes, kids grow up so we dote on the pups now. Why not? Lots of rescues available out there waiting for forever homes!

The recipe for that deliciousness is below! After The recipe for that deliciousness is below! After an overindulgent holiday season…and a whole lot of excuses…I’ve finally been working on adding more protein into my diet to drop a few pounds before we head to Paris next week. One of my favorite meals — or meal replacement, call it what you will — is a protein shake. They can be made in so many ways, all depending on what basics you have on hand. I try to keep mine simple, using whatever fruit I have in the drawer. Right now, thanks to Melissa’s Produce, I have Ojai Pixie tangerines to enjoy, so I decided to craft a super easy protein smoothie. I feel full, it gives me a protein boost and I only have to clean out the blender. Easy peasy.

Ojai Pixie Protein Smoothie

1 frozen banana
1/2 cup ice
1 scoop of protein powder
1/3 cup Greek yogurt
1 cup almond milk 
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 Ojai Pixies tangerines, peeled and sectioned

Blend in a powerful blender and serve with a fatty straw. If you don’t puree it, you’ll have some little chunks of citrus that will clog a regular straw, but for me, that makes it even better. 

Thick, cold, chunky, tangy citrus perfection. Grab some Ojai Pixie Tangerines soon! They’re only available through early June!

So you may have heard about a little storm that hi So you may have heard about a little storm that hit Southern California this past week. For the first time in the ten years in our house here in the foothills of the Inland Empire, our grass was covered in big, fat white chunks of snow. And it was amazing. As you can see, Lady Sif loved it. She was trying to catch the, uhm, flakes…she rolled around and kept staring at the sky. I mean, who wasn’t? This was crazy. 

It posed a few problems. People here can barely drive in the rain. Our roads aren’t built for this much wet, and potholes were popping up everywhere. One drop of rain and people slow down, but snow was a beautiful distraction…so you see where I’m going. 

We may start to dry out after today. It’s sunny and there’s this blue in the sky that I’ve forgotten about, it’s been so long. But, it was hailing an hour ago and my backyard is still a mini-pond which the dogs will do anything to avoid when they have to go potty…which they put off as long as they can.

We’re from NY, so we’re not new to snow. We’re just acclimated to a climate that has us much more prepared for 100+ degree weather, not this constant low 40s. The layers of clothes, the hot showers and the extra blankets are getting old. Here’s to spring.
