To create a team on TomorrowsPro.com

  1. Login with your e-mail address and password
  2. Click on "Create Team" under "Teams" in the top navigation bar
  3. Fill in the form as seen in the screen shot below:
    • Team Name (ex. New York Demos)
    • Team Location (ex. New York, NY)
    • Team League (ex. NYC Little League)
    • Sport (ex. Baseball)
    • Games Played Percentage required to appear at top of stats (ex. 25% More Info)
  4. Stat input Options (ex. Players can only view their stats) - These options allow you to give your players access to add or edit their stats. It is set to view only by default.
  5. Team form continued:
    • Team Sharing Options (ex. Public)
      • Public teams are not indexed by google, but if someone has the URL, they can view your team page. This option must be selected if you want any pieces of your team page to be public. This setting opens up the URL to the public and below you can select which sections of the team you wish to be public.
      • Private teams only allow members of the team to view the team page. You must appear on the roster in some capacity to have access. This includes Coaches, Admins, Players & Parents.
      • The most private option has all of the features of the Private option plus one more. Non-Admins (Players & Parents) can only see their stats or their children's stats on the stats page. They will also be able to see the team totals. Note: This does not affect the "Team Leaders" section. It will continue to show the names of the top players and their stats.


  6. Team Section Share Settings
    • Each section has three available options for sharing:
      • Team Coaches/Admins
      • All Team Members (Parents Included)
        • This includes every member of any roster on the team including the parents roster.
      • Public
        • This option will allow anyone with the team URL to see this section. Choosing this option will only work if you also set the "Team Sharing Options" setting to "Public" as well. That is the master setting and each section can only truly be public if that setting is also set to "Public".
    • The sections available for sharing options are as follows:
      • Team Leaders
      • Team Player Stats
      • Team Schedule
      • Team Roster
      • Team Game Roster/Lineup
      • Team Parent Roster
  7. Submit the form by clicking the submit button at the bottom and you will be redirected to your new team page which looks as follows:

Coach Update E-mails

Tagged:  

Coaches now have the ability to e-mail all of the active players and parents on their team. Updates can also be added without sending e-mails if desired. Since all update e-mails are saved on the team page you will always have access to the latest team news.

If an update is only for the team admins (This includes Admin/Coach and Admin/Player levels) a coach also has the ability to create an update that only they can see.

As always, a new access control has been added to the "Team Edit" page which allows you to decide which access level is required to view this section. This will allow you to make the updates public if you wish.

Here is a screenshot of the main page and where you can find the link to add a new update:

Once on the add page you will want to make note of a few things. You have to pick which group of people you want to have access to the update. This will also be the people that are e-mailed if you check off the "Send Update via E-mail" check box. There is also the option to pick which roster to use by allowing you to pick the season. The dropdown will default to what you have selected as your default season. The "Send Update via E-mail" check box will send the update via e-mail if checked or skip the sending of the e-mail if not checked. Either way, the update will still be saved and shown on the team page.

Here is the resulting e-mail:

Restrict Stats Access for Parents to their Children

Tagged:  

If you would like to restrict access to stats so parents can see stats for all of their children and players can only see their own stats follow these steps.

1. Set your team's share settings to "Most Private"

2. Add Parents to your team roster and associate them to their children. (See this blog post for more information - Give Parents Access to your Team and their Children)

3. Here is the view of the team stats from an admins point of view:

4. Here is the view of the team stats from a parent's point of view. To be specific, this is John Trava's point of view. You can see from section 2 of this post that he is the parent of Frank Kessler and Frank Taylor.

Give Parents Access to your Team and their Children

Many coaches have had to make the decision of making their team public and opening it up to the world to give parents access to the team pages. Coaches now have the access of adding parents to the "Parent Roster". This special roster allows coaches to associate parents to their children and restrict stats access to their children's stats if they wish.

Here is a screenshot of the "Parent Roster" page:

1. These "Remove" links allow you to remove individual associations between a parent and a player.

2. These "Add" links allow you to add a new parent-player link

3. These "Remove" links will remove the parent and all associations

Parents will have the same access as players. They will be able to see the roster, schedule, and stats by default. They share the same access level so taking away access for parents will also take it away from players. These types of access changes can be made on the "Edit Stats" page.

See Restrict Stats Access for Parents to their Children for more information about setting permissions for parents.
