Viewing a Coach's Profile
The coach profile screen shows:

- Coach bio (if provided)
Contacting a Coach by Email
- On the coach's profile screen, find the Email row in the Contact section.
- Tap on the email address.
- Your phone's default email app will open with a new message addressed to the coach.
- Compose your message and send.
Alternatively, you can tap and hold (long press) on the email to copy it to your clipboard if you prefer to use a different email app.
Calling a Coach
- On the coach's profile screen, find the Phone row (if the coach has provided a phone number).
- Tap on the phone number.
- Your phone will start a call to the coach.
Note: Not all coaches provide phone numbers. If you do not see a phone row, try reaching out via email.
Sending a Text Message
If a phone number is available:
- On the coach's profile screen, tap the phone number.
- Some phones will give you the option to call or send a text message.
- Alternatively, copy the phone number and paste it into your messaging app.
Copying Contact Information
If you prefer to save contact information or use a different app:
- Tap and hold (long press) on an email address or phone number.
- Select Copy from the menu that appears.
- Paste the information wherever you need it.
When to Contact Coaches
Coaches are busy managing teams, so here are some best practices:
- Schedule questions: Check the app first - most schedule changes are reflected there
- Attendance changes: Use the RSVP feature instead of messaging
- Urgent matters: Call if it is time-sensitive and a phone number is available
- General questions: Email is usually the best option for non-urgent inquiries
Setting Your Own Contact Preferences
You can control how coaches and other club members can contact you:
- Go to the Settings tab in the app.
- Look for contact preference options.
- Configure whether you prefer to receive communications by email, phone, or both.
This helps ensure you receive important team communications through your preferred method.
