Send Email Announcement

Email announcements are useful for sending important information updates about your organization to parents, players, and other admins.

** To enable the ability to send sms/text messages to mobile devices using this tool, please contact support@goalline.ca. There is a $100 per season fee for this service.

To send email announcements, email addresses must already exist in the system (Coach, Player, Executive, web admin profiles).

Use the Add-Edit-Delete Executives, Add-Edit-Delete Coaches and Managers (add on), View-Edit Players, Create Association Player, and other tools like this to input email addresses in the email contact fields.

Email announcements can be sent to your entire organization or to people part of a specific team or league. This tool is also used in team specific control panels; the procedure is identical.

If you do appear not to be receiving email announcements from the system and you are sure that you should be, please check that the email is not being delivered into either you email clients spam/junk folder or your spam/junk mail folder in your webmail interface.
