Organising a group of people to participate in an event is often a time consuming and laborious task. This problem is highlighted on a daily basis by managers of sports teams regardless of the sport they play, the squad size, skill level or age.
In truth organising an event is never a straight forward process. Players often aren’t available, others say they are only to cancel at a later stage, games have to be cancelled at a moments notice and players regularly forget to turn up on time.
This constant arranging and re-arranging is a drain on a managers time and resources. Managers of grass roots football teams can spend hours in telephone calls and numerous text messages ever week organising their teams weekend game.
The Solution
whocanplay.co.uk is a web based application which utilises SMS communication to make the task of organising football games less time intensive and cheaper for the manager.
The process is simple. A manager arranges a football game using whocanplay.co.uk, chooses their players and subs, sends an SMS message to the invited players mobile phones and then waits as the invited players reply directly to whocanplay.co.uk, notifying the manager if they are in or out.
Say the manager turns up to find the pitch is water logged all they need do is respond to a pre sent message from whocanplay.co.uk and every attending player will receive a message telling them the game has been cancelled.
Managers even have the ability to send an automatic message out to the team at a set time before the game with rousing words of encouragement or maybe just some pre game banter.
