Attendance Tracking
Automated Attendance via SMS
Players answer, Reply1 tallies. On For Teams and For Programs, intelligent parsing using Google Gemini reads natural-language text replies like "be there in 10" or "can't make it" and sorts each into yes, no, or maybe; on Starter, players answer in the free Reply1 app. No manual roll call.
The Problem
Roll Call Is Broken for Youth Sports
You're standing at practice with a clipboard trying to remember who said they'd be here in the group chat. Half the responses were emoji reactions you can't parse. Three parents texted you directly instead of the group. One kid showed up but their parent never responded. By the time you figure out who's actually here, practice is 10 minutes in.
The Solution
Text-Based Attendance That Works Automatically
Schedule a check-in before each event — by text on For Teams and For Programs, or by push notification in the free Reply1 app on Starter. On For Teams and For Programs, players or parents text back naturally — "yes", "we'll be there", "running 5 min late" — and Google Gemini sorts every reply into yes, no, or maybe, keeping details like "5 min late" as a note. You see a real-time tally on your dashboard before you even leave the house. No clipboard, no guessing, no chasing.
