Along with the new website, there is now an APP for Apple and Google devices that allow you to connect to the platform we are using for the website. What does this mean for you?
Well, sure, you can still do registration and event sign up via the website as well as within the app. The big improvements that we hope the app brings is to provide parents and the club with an improved way of arranging shared rides for away races, meeting up to socialize, receiving quick feedback on club issues, and making it easier for different age groups and focuses (Minis vs Performance vs Development) to communicate. We also hope that coaches and parents will be able to leverage this to improve communication. You know, if you get stuck at the train, you’d be able to quickly tell your group!
Now… this is all pretty new, so I’d like to ensure that we moderate your expectations by saying that all of the above can be accomplished… in theory! It is going to take time to figure this out.
In the meantime, do take the time to get the app and play with it.
Suddenly you have a question… Why is there a charge for the app? Well… Apple and Google don’t give anything away! So either the club incurs the cost and we add it into fees, or we pass it on. Given that we’re still not 100% sure on this, we decided that it is not yet a “must have”. Though we’re sure hoping that it’ll become that!
