Let’s be real. Coaching is supposed to be about tactics, teamwork, and growth; not chasing players for replies, scrolling endlessly through group chats, or scrambling to reshuffle teams last-minute.
Yet every week, thousands of coaches and managers lose hours to exactly that. Endless admin and communication chaos. And always being the one responsible for remembering who said what, and when.
That’s why we built Teamlists. A smarter way to run your club or team, that helps you reclaim your time, reduce the chaos, and focus on what really matters: your players.
The Admin Headaches That Steal Your Time
If you’re coaching or managing a team, these scenarios probably feel painfully familiar:
- You get a WhatsApp message from a player saying they’re unavailable... for a game three weeks from now. Good luck remembering that when selection day rolls around.
- One of your First-grade players is out this weekend. Now you need to promote someone from Second-grade and shuffle the Third-grade lineup to fill the gap, and notify every player affected and the other coaches. All manually.
- You arrive at training with a plan… only to discover six players didn’t show and never told you. Your session plan? Wasted.
That’s at least 5 hours per week lost to follow-ups, resends, guesswork, and last-minute changes.
How Teamlists Fixes This (And Saves You 5+ Hours Every Week)
Here’s how coaches and team admins are using Teamlists to eliminate time-wasting admin:
1. Collect Availability with a Tap
Instead of guessing who’s around, Teamlists lets you send simple, one-click availability forms. Players respond once, and you have a clear dashboard view of who’s in or out.
No more "I thought I told you" moments.
2. Drag-and-Drop Team Selections
Select your lineup with an intuitive drag-and-drop tool. Need to reshuffle grades? Move a player up and instantly see who needs to replace them in the lower team.
Teamlists allows you to share your selections easily. You don’t need to message six different people manually.
3. Auto-Notify Players (and Parents) Instantly
Once your teams are locked in, hit publish and notify your squad, via push notification, email, or SMS. Everyone gets the same info. Nobody gets left out.
4. Plan Better with Training & Game Attendance at a Glance
Coaches can view expected training numbers in real time. No more guessing who’ll show up. Just open Teamlists and plan accordingly.
5. Centralise Communication (No More Group Chat Chaos)
Forget hunting for lost messages in WhatsApp. With Teamlists, every communication is tied to a team, a player, or an event. It’s searchable, trackable, and club-wide.
Real Coaches, Real Time Saved
“I used to spend my Thursday nights texting 20 different players trying to confirm availability. Now I send one message in Teamlists and I’ve got the full picture by Friday morning.”
– Chris, Rugby Coach, NSW
“We have five netball teams. Before Teamlists, it was a nightmare moving players between grades. Now it’s seamless, and everyone gets notified instantly.”
– Sarah, Club Secretary, VIC
Why It Matters
Time is your most valuable resource, especially when you’re volunteering your weekends to coach, plan sessions, and help your club run smoothly. Teamlists gives you that time back.
Whether you’re managing one team or juggling five squads across multiple grades, you’ll save hours every week with less admin, better visibility, and smarter communication tools built for clubs like yours.
