GotSport Connect - Chat Overview
GotSport Connect has a built-in messaging center — a single place where everyone connected to a club (parents, players, coaches, managers, and admins) can communicate.
Chat Permissions based on your role:
- Parents can message their child's coaches and managers — but not other parents or players, and they can't create group chats.
- Coaches and managers can message anyone on their team — parents, players, and staff — and can create custom group chats.
- Club admins can message across the entire club, and have an exclusive tool for building club-wide group chats by role, gender, and age group.
Overview:
No matter your role, the Chat screen works the same way. Here's what you'll see when you open it:

- Contacts — Browse people's profiles and contact info. (Use this to look someone up; use the compose button to actually start a chat.)
- Unread filter — Show only conversations with new, unread messages.
- Team Chats filter — Show only your official team chats (the ones with the green star).
- Unread message badge — The red number shows how many unread messages a conversation has.
- Game chat indicator — This chat is linked to a Game on the Schedule. (The badge colors tell you the type: Event, Game, or Training.)
- Compose button — Start a new chat. Tap here to pick who you want to message.
