Sharing live scores with parents who can't make the game
How clubs keep families and supporters up to date during a game, without a running commentary in the group chat.
Not every parent can get to every game, and grandparents, cousins and players in the stand all want the score. A running commentary in the parents' chat works, until it doesn't.
What works
- One person scores, everyone follows. A live score link families can open without an account.
- Proper notation. 1-13 v 2-13 means something to everyone in a Gaelic games family.
- The latest events, not just the total: who scored and when.
What to avoid
- Posting scores in a children's group chat.
- Naming under-18s publicly if their parents have said no.
In My Coaching App
The coach scores the game live from the sideline, even with no signal, and families follow it as it happens from a link, with no account needed. Try the demo.
