Say it once. Everyone hears it.

The message about Saturday only works if it reaches people before Saturday. Announcements go from your dashboard to the app on every family’s phone — the whole organization, one division, the coaches, the travelling squad — with delivery and open figures, so you know it landed rather than hoping it did.

How Announcements works

Org & team announcements

Write it once and choose who it is for: everyone in the organization, a single division, one team, or a group you have built for a purpose. The message reaches exactly those families and nobody else, which is what stops people muting notices they have learned are never about them.

Announcements — write once, choose who it reaches.

Event & schedule updates

Most of what you need to tell people is about time and place — a fixture moved, a venue changed, a session cancelled for weather. Send the notice with the change so families get the explanation and the new time together, instead of noticing a different kick-off on the calendar and wondering whether it is a mistake.

Reminders that stick

An announcement arrives as a notification on the phone people already use for the schedule and the scores, and you can see how many devices it reached and how many opened it. That turns “we told everyone” from an assumption into something you can check before you assume it worked.

What gets announced

The recurring notices every organization sends, and the one nobody can afford to miss.

Weather & cancellations

A pitch closes two hours before kick-off. The notice reaches the affected teams on their phones, not a page on a website nobody refreshes.

Registration deadlines

Registration opening, early-bird ending, a programme nearly full — sent to the families who have not signed up rather than to everyone.

OpenClosingReminder

Events & photo days

The dates that live outside the fixture list — photo day, presentation night, kit collection — with the details in one message.

Organization notices

Policy changes, meetings and the volunteer appeals that keep a club running, kept in the same place as everything else.

Announcements: common questions

Who receives an announcement? +

Whoever you choose — the whole organization, a division, a team, or a group you build. The message reaches exactly that audience rather than everyone by default.

How do families receive it? +

As a notification in the Ligue app, on the same device they use for the schedule and the scores. There is nothing extra for them to install.

Can I see whether it was read? +

Yes. Announcements report how many devices they reached and how many were opened, so you can tell whether a notice actually landed before the weekend.

What is the difference between an announcement and a message? +

An announcement is a broadcast to a group you pick, with delivery figures. A message is a conversation someone can reply to. Most organizations use both.

Can I send an announcement with a schedule change? +

Yes, and it is the common case. Change the fixture and send the notice alongside it so families get the new time and the reason together.

Who is allowed to send announcements? +

Whoever you give the permission to. Roles decide it, so an organization that wants notices to come only from the office can set that, and one that lets coaches message their own teams can too.
