Messaging
All your team
communication.
One place.
Replace group chats, scattered emails, and missed texts. Sportlingo Messaging keeps coaches, players, and parents connected in a structured, safe environment built for sport.
How it works
Structured from day one
Configured from your roster. Ready to message your whole team in minutes.
Set up chats
Create chats for the whole team, sub-groups, coaching staff only, or individual conversations — all pre-organized from your roster and ready to use from day one.
Send a message
Post announcements, training updates, media files, or polls. Everyone in the right chat sees exactly what they need — nothing more, nothing less, delivered instantly.
Stay organized
Messages are threaded, searchable, and tied to sessions or events so context is never lost. No more digging through endless group chat history to find what you need.
Control access
Role-based permissions ensure players, parents, and coaches each have the right level of access. Privacy and safeguarding are built in from the start — not bolted on after.
Why Sportlingo Messaging
Better than the group chat
Everything you need for organized, safe, actually useful team comms.
Team Chats
Dedicated communication spaces for the whole squad, position sub-teams, and the coaching staff only. No more juggling separate group chats scattered across different apps and platforms.
Parent Messaging
Communicate directly with parents in a structured, permanent environment with full searchable message history — finally replacing the one-off emails and text chains that always get lost.
Announcements
Post important updates as pinned announcements that stay at the top of every relevant chat. Critical information stays visible to everyone — never buried under days of casual conversation.
File Sharing
Share training plans, waivers, match photos, and session videos directly inside the relevant conversation. No need to switch apps, send attachments, or hunt down files in shared folders.
Push Notifications
Instant delivery to every device with push notifications. Coaches always know their messages land — no more wondering if the group chat was seen or the email dropped into spam.
Safe Environment
No personal phone numbers are ever shared between users. All communication stays inside Sportlingo — fully moderated, permanently archived, and compliant with child safeguarding requirements for sport.
In action
Communication that works for everyone
Every user sees only what's relevant to them — clean, focused, noise-free.
Chats that actually make sense
The dashboard shows team chats, staff-only channels, and parent direct messages in one sidebar — each organized from your roster automatically, with full searchable history and pinned announcements at the top.
Nothing gets missed
Push notifications reach every device instantly. Messages are permanently archived and searchable by keyword, player, or date — so nothing gets lost, even for players who join mid-season.
