AllPlayers.com Admin Toolbox
With the latest update to the AllPlayers.com system over the weekend, all group administrators will notice something different.
Things just seem easier now, don’t they?
That’s because our design and development teams brainstormed, planned, discussed, laid out, and implemented a new Admin Toolbox that provides group administrators all the routine features and functionality needed, right there at the ready.
Admins now have all of the tasks they need at any given time right on their group page, without having to go find the proper icon and select the activity. It’s now easier than ever to send a broadcast message, create a group announcement and update calendars. Group admins can even adjust and tweak the layout of the group page through the Dashboard, all from the Admin Toolbox.
It just one more way that AllPlayers pushes for Less Work, and More Play!!!
AllPlayers.com Groups Below or subgroups
One of the very distinct advantages of AllPlayers.com is the ability to build an organization hierarchy of groups. Called “groups below” in AllPlayers.com, subgroups help extend your organization options and give you better management over your entire organization.
Here are a few examples of how to manage multi-level organizations:
By using “groups below” or sub groups, managing calendars and schedules, registration and communication across all levels of participants is incredibly simple. The group administrator sees all subgroup calendars in an aggregated view for easy schedule management, and communicate and broadcasts can be sent to specific groups or all groups below.
By utilizing the organizational feature of “groups below” leagues, tournaments, clinics, camps, charities, special events, schools, PTO’s, and even families have a micro-view and control of all participant levels.
One of the most common types of groups that use AllPlayers.com are sports teams. Ranging from city-sponsored leagues, to select teams, to individual D-league softball teams, AllPlayers.com provides the registration, communication and overall management of teams.
How do we do this?
AllPlayers.com makes it incredibly easy to manage any number or size of sports teams. From creating the team, setting up registration, getting uniform information, sharing calendars and schedules, and communicating any all changes or updates, a team manager needs only site: AllPlayers.com.
Create the Page
First, the manager creates a group page, setting up the team. Through the easy-to-follow settings on the features page, the manager establishes the roles and the registration requirements for each role (player, coach, fan, parent). If the team requires payment, AllPlayers.com handles that process easily as well, and walks the team manager through the entire process.
Registration can be open to anyone, limited by size, limited to certain age groups or open for only a specified time. All these features are customizable for the team’s needs. Once registration setup is complete, the team manager can either invite certain people via email or simply leave a registration button on the team page to allow open registration from there.
Add Content
Content such as calendar events, photos, files to be distributed and announcements can be done at any time, on an ongoing basis. Many group page administrators choose to add their initial content immediately after setting up the group page. All of this is easily done through the administrator dashboard.
Invite Participants
To invite your team members to join, simply click on Invite. This will create an email that you can copy/paste to send to your participants or their guardians. For teams that have children under 13 years of age, their guardians must create an account first, then create an account for their children. This is compliance with child protection laws.
Collect Information
Collect team information such as uniform number selection and sizes, emergency contact or other important data that you need to keep on behalf of your team.
Communicate
With AllPlayers.com it is extremely convenient to communicate with your participants. By sending a broadcast message, you can immediately reach your entire team through email or text message (they decide how they get your updates when they create their own account). This is extremely beneficial for rain outs, fields changes and other last minute announcements. You can also create basic announcements to be displayed on your group page that may not be as time sensitive.
Have fun!
All members can communicate and share photos in the social format of AllPlayers.com. Leave messages for teammates and coaches, tell them what a great job they did or share thoughts about anything at all!

This has nothing to do with Dolly, unless you’re creating a group page for her fan club, in that case send it to us so we can see it.
Cloning a group is the easiest way to create multiple groups at one time, which would be the best way to handle creating groups for large organizations or leagues. Unless you’re the untrusting type who believes that unless you do it with your own hands it isn’t getting done properly. In which case, repetition is probably calming for you and we’re happy to provide that for you.
For leagues, organizations, associations and clubs there are frequently subgroups to each main group. For example:
Did you get ahead of yourself and create group but forgot to assign the proper parent group? It’s ok speed-demon, we’ll walk you through how to retroactively assign the parent group.
Any collection of participants is a group.
A group can be 2 people, or it can be 2000 people. It can be an organization, school, recreational business, league, team, family… the possibilities are endless! Simply, it’s anyone who shares something in common… schedules, calendars, files, photos, announcements, the list goes on and on.
