Communication
Sports Made Easy was designed by sports parents
to improve communication between parents, coaches, and managers.
While nothing will replace the calendar on the refrigerator, your
site will have web-based team calendars for those times when
the refrigerator is not nearby.
In addition,
each team has an email mailing list, called the Coach's Message,
that allows coaches and
managers to provide timely email informational updates to parents.
In addition to being displayed on the home page, the stories and
columns can be emailed as a newsletter.

Community
It's easy to focus on our own children's teams. Sports Made Easy
will enhance the sense of community for your association by the
following features:
Home page stories and columns - The stories provide a great way
to let everyone know what is going on in the association. Parents, coaches,
and players can submit a story for all members to see. Your site editor
approves all stories before they show up on your home page.
Home game calendar - If you'd like to watch other association
games, the home game calendar provides a 7 day view of home games*.
Scores scroller - The scores scroller on the home page is
a great way to follow other teams in your association.

Convenience
Sports Made Easy has simple, easy-to-use web-based forms
to allow you to quickly update your site.
Maintenance of your site is pushed down to the lowest appropriate level -
everyone shares in the maintenance of your site so your site administrator
isn't swamped with updates. This also allows for timely information
dissemination.
Team managers are responsible for their team content (contact
information, team calendars, scores, budget, etc.). Your story editor
maintains story and column content, provided by everyone in your association.
And your local site administrator creates and maintains global site content.
