Take Advantage of the Assignments Feature for Team Events

Last year, we opened up the Assignments feature to all users. Since then, we’ve seen how easily coaches and parents are able to assign tasks like volunteering for snacks, creating team events, or assigning a score keeper. 

What is the Assignments feature?

Whether it’s remembering Gatorade or keeping score, your volunteers need to know what their task is for the day. The Assignments feature enables coaches and team managers to assign tasks to parents and players, so everyone comes prepared for the next game or practice. 

Tip: Look for Assignments in your event details within the TeamSnap mobile or web app. 

Benefits of Assignments

• Stay on top of volunteers, tasks, and signups – keep yourself and your team as organized as possible.
• Show up to the next game prepared – know who’s bringing snacks and beverages to the next game. 
• Assign your favorite snack or beverage – tell others what snacks or beverages they should bring, or sign up for something yourself.
• Make sure it gets done – you can also assign tasks like volunteer shifts, taking photos, bringing halftime snacks and setting up cones.
