⚠️ Coaches Corner is currently available only to a randomly selected set of groups/teams.
Coaches Corner is a feature in the Spond app that makes it easier for coaches and administrators to collaborate across teams and within the team/club. Instead of managing several WhatsApp groups or relying on the club to connect everyone, Coaches Corner brings all communication together in one shared space. Here you can start direct conversations between admins, get automatically updated group chats as roles change, and soon you will also have access to shared calendars and be able to publish posts.
Hva
The goal is to make coordination between teams and coaches both easier and more efficient. By bringing administrators and group leaders together in one shared area, it becomes easier to plan smarter, collaborate better and free up time to focus on what matters most.
