Wellesley United

In an effort to streamline communications and create a single place for everyone to get updates about their children's teams, Wellesley United will be using TeamSnap for all 3rd grade, BAYS, and WPL Club teams going forward. TeamSnap is an industry-leading platform that many teams have already been using, so we're excited to get it rolled out to the whole club! We will leverage it to manage all practice and game schedules, communicate player availability, and general team communications. Below we've compiled a few tips and trips that will help you make the most of the tool. 
If you have any issues using the app or any questions, please don't hesitate to check out TeamSnap's website for many helpful tips and tutorials or respond to this email.

Downloading the app

TeamSnap is available on both mobile devices (iOS and Android) as well as on the web. 

Accounts
If you've previously used TeamSnap, there will be no need to create a new account.  If you were using TeamSnap to manage your team, you should still have access and nothing will change.  The teams have all been updated with the new team rosters and invites will be sent out.  You should just be able to log into the app and all of your teams should be shown. If that's not the case, ple ase respond to this email and we'll straighten out any issues. If you haven't previously used it, please create a new account using the email address this message was sent to since it's the one WUSC has on file for you.
