GAME CHANGER APP:
You should have received an email to join the team page on the app, at some point today. So please keep an eye out and make sure to check Spam Mail.
NOTE: If you have played a previous season that we've used Game Changer you may leave the team, so it doesn't show. Please just make sure to follow your Winter 2021-22 team for practices and game times.
The app is something we started using last season and have gotten excellent feedback from the parents. All lines of communication are done through the Game Changer App, coaches’ information, team roster, practice schedule and game times (when available) will all be posted on this app. There is also attendance for events on this app so the coaches can know their rosters each weekend. Also, parents can message with each other and set up carpools, share pictures/videos from the games, etc.
