CYO Coach & Mgr: How to Setup Recurring Practice
When you create the practice as a ParentSquare calendar event, it will automatically show up on parents’ ParentSquare calendars, send reminders, and allow families to RSVP. This gives the coach a quick view of who is coming and helps them decide if a practice needs to be rescheduled or canceled due to low attendance. This helps the coach see who is coming and decide whether a practice should be canceled or rescheduled if attendance is too low.
From a computer (not mobile):
-
Log in to ParentSquare on a computer.
-
Click Create a Post.
-
Select Calendar Event.
-
Click Repeat & Pattern to set up recurring practices.
-
Check Send Reminder so ParentSquare will automatically remind families.
-
Check Request RSVP so families can indicate whether they’re attending.
-
This should make practice communication much easier for both coaches and parents.
CYO Coach & Mgr: How to Setup Games & Snacks
When you create each game as a ParentSquare calendar event with a snack sign-up, families can find the game details, RSVP, receive reminders, and volunteer to bring snacks—all in one place. The RSVP gives the coach a quick view of who is available for each game and helps identify early if the team may be short on players.
How to set it up from a computer:
-
Log in to ParentSquare on a computer.
-
Click Create a Post.
-
Select the correct team.
-
Click Calendar Entry/RSVP.
-
Click Ask for Items.
-
Add a subject, such as “5th Grade Girls Soccer-Game #1 & Snack Sign-Up.”
-
In the description, include:
-
Game time
-
Warmup time (Please check with coach, it's usually 15-30min before game)
-
Game location & Address
-
Uniform or equipment reminders
-
Check Send Reminder and select when the reminder should be sent.
-
-
Check Request RSVP so families can confirm whether their player will attend.
-
Under Ask for Items:
-
Enter the date the snack is needed.
-
Add “After-Game Snack for ___ Players.”
-
Set the quantity to 1 so only one family signs up.
-
-
Review everything, then click Post Now.
This helps keep game information in one place and makes attendance easier to track. If you see low number players for attending the game, please check with parents to encourage more players. Otherwise if we don't have enough players we wont have be able to play, or kids will not have sub or breaks.
CYO Coach & Mgr: How to create sign up for Snacks
When you set up the games using the instructions above, you have a couple of options for snacks:
You can include a snack sign-up with the game post, or create a separate ParentSquare post just for snacks if you prefer to keep it separate from the game schedule.
You can also create snack sign-ups for practices if you’d like, but traditionally families usually provide snacks after games only.

Log in to ParentSquare on a computer.
-
Click Create a Post.

Select the correct team.
