If you’ve got an idea for a new feature, just create a new post in this forum and let us know what you’re thinking.

Cheers,

just wanted to let you know that I think your site is fantastic. Why don’t you add cornhole to your “sports” link. I am from Ohio and cornhole is a very, very popular game. I have started a league and have found it difficult to form my league and manage it on teamsnap.com. I hope I am not “doing it wrong”. I have a league of 10 two person teams that play games once a week and could benefit from team snap if a league system is available. I hope I am not missing the point of the product in thinking that it is something more than a team site and not a league site. Let me know.

But I think you should add cornhole to your list.
Thanks.

Hi Don,

TeamSnap is currently a team sports management tool. We do have plans to expand the service which will focus on leagues. I don’t think any of us here at TeamSnap have played cornhole, but will pass your suggestion to add it to our development team.

Thanks for the feedback!

Hi There,

Just a couple of ideas that would be beneficial to us at least. It would be nice if you could “vote” on the website. Since you have the roster/availablilty – it would be cool if they could vote yes/no to fundraising ideas or whatever else.
Also, it would be cool if you could have a spot to put up volunteer postitions, and they could sign up for them. Whether the position be for the whole year, or a game. Things like time keeper, or jersey parent.

Love your site – we are using it for 2 of our kids teams. My husband is a coach and I am a manager for another team, it has been a great tool to keep us organized.

what about allowing recurring events? We create a ‘Practice’ event and track player availability through that. Unfortunately, you have to create an event for each practice, and since they are twice a week for 2-3 months each, that’s a lot of events to create manually. Any chance you would allow creating recurring events?

Hi,

We do have recurring events at the top of our list. We hope to get this feature up and running in the near future.

Thanks,
Traci @ TeamSnap

Hello Just getting started
Is there an option to show the schedule in a calendar format ?
Easier to read and see games for the week or month
Thx
Barb

Availability page:

You have to keep scrolling up to the top to see the date, then back down to your name to check yourself on or off. Move the scroll bar inside the grid, so that only the players scroll and the headers (the game dates) stay put.

Hi Paul,

If you hover your mouse over the check box area in availability, it should give you the event/game name and date.

Thanks,
Traci @ TeamSnap

We had a problem entering stats for a game because the game was in the future (wrong date – it was entered as a week later when the game had actually happened a week earlier) and we realized what we were doing wrong but why can you enter the score for a game that’s in the future? We were able to enter the score, but not the statistics. The behavior for stats makes sense, but maybe the same filter should be on the score too.

Hey guys… Great site. Two things I’d request off the bat:

1- “Remember Me” check box at login
2- Manager configured game/event reminders. It looks like users can indicate if they want to get reminders, it’d be nice if managers could automatically enable them for all users (and if it would include a direct link to indicate if you are in or out for the game/event).

Thanks,
Steve

I think this site is awesome..

One idea would be to have a tab where you can input your lineup (speaking about baseball / softball) and postions and then print it out to take with you to the game.

What about being able to click on a field in the “Statistics” page and sort on that field. Clicking could toggle ascending and descending. For example, if I click on the AVG for baseball it sorts by batting average. You do have the top batting averages, but if I want to see all from highest to lowest I can’t do that as easily. It seems like this might not be too bad to implement too.

Re: Greg’s sortable stats suggestion: Seconded!

kkekckbk also – Printable lineup pages would be great. You know what else would be great? Have it print in scorebook-page format so we can keep the book (baseball/softball) right on the printed page.

In general, printing should be easier. Each page should have a “Printer-friendly” link which goes to a less-rich, more simple layout.

Another thing – when looking at individual statistical categories there should be a Previous and a Next button of some kind. For exampe: You’re on the Statistics page, and you want to look at the full breakdown, category by category. So you click on “At Bats.” Now you’re looking at the Total, Average, and Single Game At Bats. There should be some kind of Previous button (either greyed out because it’s the first category, or it should say GIDP because that’s last) and a Next button (would say Next or Runs Scored). That way you can advance through the stat categories without having to use your Back button or clicking the Stats Leaders link.

How about the same “Export” button for the schedules applied to the Photos section so we can share photos with parents, friends, and families?

Hi, gotta say I absolutely love your site and think the work you do is great.
Is there a possible way you can add the feature to export stats of leaders, and season stats to excel? I would like to sort by leaders in each category to see all the team listed. Also, may want to think about something that can trend players that are struggling or hot. So example would be that last month I was hitting .700 but this month I am only hitting .350 or something so I am able to see who is doing better over a certain period. May also want to look at a “Career” mode because I know that I won’t want to erase this seasons data and just start over again… I would like to keep track of player stats over the season(s).

Any help in these areas would be very good and I would be MORE than willing to pay for this site out of beta. It’s just awesome.

Great system. 100 times better than other ones I have tried.

There certainly seems to be a recurring theme that being able to export data (to .csv) would be very beneficial. You can do it with some data already, which is great.

It’s good when you have it online to manage it, but you need to be able to take this info to meetings, matches etc so being able to export the data in each page to .csv is very useful. Otherwise you’d be as well just keeping the data in a spreadsheet.

I for example think ‘Availability’ is important to export, so that you can take the team-sheet for the day to the match and know who you’re expecting to turn up. Keep up the good work.

N.

Two things.
1. I would like to be able to sign members of my teams up for the automatic notification of games/practices. I would like to use this as my only form of communication and In my experience leaving it up to them to sign up will cause more issues than any created by signing up for them.

2. I would like to see you create the ability for us to have both “active and inactive” players. on our soccer team we have a roster for our outdoor season and the rest of the year we play indoor with several different players so having the ability to have both categories and move them back and forth would be very valuable.

Thanks

Kevin.

Two suggestions:

1) in addition to posting files and photos, the ability to post external web links that are good reference material for the team

2) The ability, when setting up the statistics, to bulk delete stats you don’t want rather than clicking them one by one and deleting

Firstly … great site.

A lot of the users (mum or dads) are very busy people with lots of different accounts and usernames/passwords to remember. It would really help if you could either support cookies so their last login username/password could be remembered or if you support anonymous logins. The site does not have any super secure data so I think this would not compromise anything and it would greatly accelerate it’s pickup and acceptance by parents. Remember a lot of the users will not use computers that often so the less hassle the better.

Two suggestions:

1) Allow stats to have a qualifier to allow for inclusion in the Top Stats fields. For example, in pitching, non pitchers are listed as having the best ERA of 0.00 even though they have never pitched. There should be a qualifier of “XX” number of innings. Another example is batting average. We had one replacement player for one game, he had one hit in two at bats, and is now listed as our fourth best batting average hitter, but the comparison is not realistic given his 2 at bats compared to other hitters having 30-50 at bats.

2) A suggestion and/or question. If a player quits the team, and you want to keep his stats (therefore, I don’t want to delete the player), is there a way to delete their access to our team website?

Also, the repeat scheduler idea is a good one, it would be nice if it was like Microsoft Outlook, and you could select the days of the weeks and the total number of occurrences.

Love the site.

One Suggestion or perhaps an observation.

I notice that when a team member sends a “Group” message to everyone, often a recipient responds directly to the sender’s email address rather than clicking on the link at the bottom of the email and therefore only the sender gets the response and it doesn’t make it to any of the other team members or to the messages area of the Team Snap site.

Additionally, it seems that if the recipient of a “Group” message does respond via the link the response dies on the message page and isn’t broadcast to all of the original recipients of the first message.

Since all of the original recipients emails are concealed then there is no way to have a dialogue amongst team members which would be quite a useful function for decision making and information dissemination as well as “asked & answered” polling amongst team members.

Great Site!

First off let me say I love teamsnap. It is helping us manage our football teams a great deal! We have tested it out with one team last season and want to start using it for all our 7 teams coming season. There are a couple of things missing that are holding us back a bit.

1) the availability feature is great only it could be confusing when a player is on the status: ”?” . In our club people can indicate a “maybe” status for a game. This helps managers get an idea of fallback options when there is a low availability. In teamsnap its not clear if somebody has selected the ”?” or has not selected a status at all. So it would be great if had another status like “maybe” or “not sure”. It would be also very handy if you could indicate the reason of your maybe(injury, vacation, etc).

2) As teamsnap is great for individual teams managing multiple teams can be more challenging. In our case managers look across teams for available players if necessary. So it would be great if they could look across teams somehow. MAybe a general overview? So you could see all available players across the whole club. A quick solution would be if we could download a spreadsheet of the different team rosters. We could merge the spreadsheets in excel and have an overview of the overall availability.

I hope features helping us with above issues will be implemented in the future as I want to avoid use multiple programs/systems. Any feedback about above would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks alot.

PGS International, The Hague

This is a follow on from the input from PGS above as I represent the very same club :-)

The injured status on players would be an important feature to get included, but when this is taken on the option of indicating vacation, leave, personal situations etc etc would be nice to indicate as well. Either allowing a manager to define a set of options or allow for “comments” or similar would be neat.

3) You already have an export capability of the roster, which is good, but I’d like to also have this as part of the “availability” function. This so that I can export the status of who is available and who is not to each event or game. This would make the issue of cross team management quite a lot easier.

4)
Current:
When players register for an even, the manager can see a list of who has registered and available. I have not found a way he can actually use this informaiton for anything further.

What I’d like to be able to do:
Availability is a great thing, but something to think of as a further development of this is a “squad selection” capability as well. This would mean that using the available players you can assign them to a positions in a “starting 11” and substitutes and possibly export, email or similar this to the squad. NB: as we have a cross team challenge in our club I would really like to see this feature in combination with ability to include players that are not in this particular squad. As a solution before a cross team functionality is included, would maybe be to add an option of simply typing in a squad member of which is not in the roster as a one time occurance.

5) In addition to the suggested 4, this can be extended to a solution that allows for changing and selecting formation. Preferably in graphic representation. If arrows etc can be added and maybe correlated with text, this could be a great tool for tactic planning for games and thereby preparing the squad for how they are to play. An ability to assign text to individual possitions and thereby players would also be great. Of course, having the ability to export this as well as email this to the team would be great.

6) I see others have already commented towards the difference betwen a team and a club for teamsnap. This I completely agree with, and the possibility to handle one club with mulitple teams would be great too.

6-a) The cross team management has been mentioned already as a challenge for our club. One thing I really would like to see is the ability to either add an existing teamsnap account to another team (without having to type in details and invite again). E.g. if a team owner owns more than a single team it would be nice if the owner could “add” a player that is already created for his owned team A to his owned team B. THis is handy in a hierarchical team structure when players move e.g. from second squad to first squad and so on.

7) A mechanism that allows for access to information of a team without having a specific login would be nice. E.g. the results list and maybe some statistics. This would allow club websites to link to this kind of information or possibly integrate. One alternative option is to allow for export in e.g. xml or similar of which can easily be inserted in another websystem. A more dedicated solution would be to create an API that allows websites to extract different kinds of information directly… This would be a very neat feature that would allow teamsnap to efficiently work with common content Management systems (CMS) as e.g. Joomla, drupal, xoops, phpnuke etc. Teamsnap would therefore be easily usable by any team in conjunction with other features and website commonalities and this would make teamsnap way more usable for many clubs :-)

8) I would also like to see more than one “manager role”. This because it is quite convenient to delegate certain tasks as e.g. the finance and club fee collection. Furthermore, it can be of benefit to have a dediicated individual in the team to update things like stats, upcomming games etc. Though, you might not want to give everyone full access to everything. Also, the aspect of assigning these manager rights are currently ONLY withe the owner and this is inconvenient. Suggesting a “manager” role and possibly a “power user” role, where the power user can change games, statistical, finance aspects but only the manager can change and modify player details, squad details and (as suggested) tactics and squad selection. It would be nice to ahve the oportunity to ahve more than one manager in the case a maanger is gone or where you have an assistant manager in the picture. The ultimate solution would be to allow for role creation and assign rights to the roles created individually as is quite common in e.g. CMS systems.

9) A solution to set up an “auto” mailer function for upcoming events would be neat. E.g. the system will mail every player (even those already posted their availability) on a predefined timeframe prior to a an events occurrence or deadline for registration. This would be a neat “reminder” tool to ensure that players indicate their availability and that they remember to update it if situations do change etc.

Oh, another few things I just thought of :-)

10) Including a weather service for forecast would be neat too for outdoor sports. I know e.g. the weather channel provides XML based forecasts per subscription and is heavily used in solutions for CMS products. Something to consider? http://www.weather.com/services/oap.html?from=footer

11) It would be nice to include some links or at least some basic information in the forms of a static page or so. In Netherlands amateur football games are often canceled due to weather and this information is posted by the authorities (association) through webpages and teletext solutions. Allowing these pages to be linked in would allow players to check themselves if games are canceled etc. I would guess there are probably also other links that would be usefull for different sports organizations to include, e.g. link to associations and such.

12) 3) Allow for sponsor advertisement for the individual clubs and teams. Some teams have sponsors and are in need of being able to “advertise” that on their web pages as part of the agreement.

13) Extend the function of “refreshments” to something like “duties” where you can add “duties” on a more generic nature. This because it would allow for tasks as e.g. Who is picking up the kit for away games, Who is on bar duty when playing home games, who is assigned to do the ref’ing and so forth… would be a great addition to the management aspect :-)

14) An archive or history function where squads and selection for previous games can be reviewed. Possible combination with results and individual performances would also be of great use.

15) An ability to create sections/folders for the files/pictures function. This to better organize the content.

Ok, probably a good start for now :-)

As indicated, we like teamsnap and we do now move all our teams to teamsnap for the coming season. There are still issues we’d like to see improved and therefore this feedback interest. Thanks for a good effort so far and keep it up as it can become a really great tool :-)
