Practices, games and more
Add a practice, a game, a tournament or any other team event, with the place, the time and when to be there early.
Team schedule
Practices, games and who is coming, in one place.
Add the season in a few minutes. Players say going, maybe or not going. Parents answer for their kids. You see the roll call before you walk into the gym.
What it does
Everything a team needs to show up on time.
Built into MyBasketballIQ, next to your plays and your team chat. Free, like the rest of the app.
Weekly repeats
Set a practice to repeat every week for up to 26 weeks. Each week is its own event, so you can move or cancel one without touching the rest.
Going, maybe or not going
Players answer with one tap. For maybe or not going they can add a reason, like sick, injured or school, and a short note for the coach.
Parents answer for their kids
A parent or guardian ticks their child, or each of their children, on the team and answers for them on every practice and game.
Roll call for coaches
See how many are going, maybe, not going or have not answered, then see who. Staff can set an answer for any player.
Cancel without losing anything
Cancel an event and it shows as cancelled for everyone. Put it back on later and the answers are still there.
Game scores
After a game, enter the final score. It shows as won, lost or tied on the schedule and in the calendar.
Reminders
Pick the day before, two days before or two hours before. Reminders show on the Schedule tab, on the bell, and as an alert in your calendar.
Your own calendar
Add the schedule to Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook with a private link. It updates itself when an event is added, moved or cancelled.
For parents
Your child’s reasons stay with the coaches.
The team sees who is coming. Only the people who need to know see why someone is not.
How we keep teams safe- Everyone on the team can see who is going, who might come and who is not.
- A reason or note is only shown to the team’s coaches and staff, any school administrator, the player it is about and a parent who answers for them.
- A written note is kept in the team’s permanent record, like a message. Keep private medical details out of it.
- Coaches see which parent answers for which player, and can remove a link if the wrong child was picked.
- The calendar link shows what, when and where. It never shows who is coming, anyone’s name or a reason.
How-to guides

Coaches and staff
Build the schedule and run the roll call
- Open the Schedule tab and tap Add event. Pick practice, game, tournament or event. Set the date, the start time and, if you like, the end time.
- Add the details. Say where it is and when to be there early. For a game or tournament, add the opponent and whether it is home or away.
- Repeat it weekly. Under Repeat, choose every week for 4 to 26 weeks. Each week becomes its own event you can change on its own.
- Check who is coming. Each event shows how many are going, maybe, not going or have not answered. Tap See who for names, reasons and who gave each answer.
- Answer for a player. In the list of names, set an answer for any player, for example when someone tells you at practice. You can do this after the event too.
- Change or cancel. Change moves or edits one event and keeps the answers. Cancel event marks it cancelled for everyone. Put back on undoes it.

Questions
Schedule questions, answered.
Does it cost anything?
No. The schedule is part of the free plan, for every team.
Who can add or change events?
The team’s staff: head coaches, assistant coaches and team managers. Players and parents can answer, but cannot change the schedule. A school administrator can read it but cannot answer.
Who can see why my child is not coming?
The coaches and staff, any school administrator on the team, your child, and a parent who answers for them. Other players and parents only see the answer: going, maybe or not going.
I have more than one child on the team. Can I answer for all of them?
Yes. Tick each of your children under Your children on the Schedule tab. You then get a row of answers for each child on every event.
How do reminders reach me?
Reminders show on the Schedule tab, on the bell at the top of the app, and as an alert in your calendar if you add the calendar link. Email reminders are coming soon, and text messages later.
Which calendar apps work?
Google Calendar, Apple Calendar (iPhone, iPad and Mac) and Outlook. Google Calendar only checks for changes once or twice a day, so a late change may show up there late. Apple Calendar and Outlook check more often.
Is the calendar link safe?
Treat it like a password. It only shows what, when and where, never names or who is coming. You can make a new link at any time, which turns the old one off, and it stops working if you leave the team. A coach can also turn calendar links off for the whole team.
What happens when a practice is cancelled?
It stays on the schedule marked cancelled, and calendars that use the link show it as cancelled too. If the coach puts it back on, the answers people gave are still there.
