Team Wall: match reports, photos and parents' comments

A private place for the team's posts after a match. The draft comes from the match report, the photos from the album, and parents and players comment. Only the team can see it.

  • A post draft from the match report
  • Photos from the team album
  • Only the team can see it

Emotions peak after a match, and the story ends up in several places

The coach wants to thank everyone for the support and share photos, and parents want to congratulate the team and see who scored. It usually ends with a few messages in different groups, photos sent privately and a score typed up by hand.

Then there is privacy: children's photos in an open group or on a public profile are not the same as a story only the team can see.

  • The score and scorers have to be copied from paper or from memory.
  • Photos from several parents land in different places and get lost in conversations.
  • Congratulations get mixed up with questions about meeting times and fees.
  • It is not always clear who can see children's photos.

One place for team life, connected to the calendar and the gallery

The Wall is part of the team Community, next to the Photo gallery. Staff publish posts, and the whole team, parents and players, reads, reacts and comments.

A post can be linked to a match, training session or tournament and leads to that event's photo album.

  • Only the team sees posts.
  • A post-match draft comes from the report.
  • Photos come from one team gallery.

The team comments

Parents and players see the post on the Wall and on the dashboard, react and reply.

What is in the post draft

The draft is built from the match report using a fixed template. Parts without data disappear, and the coach edits the whole text before saving.

  1. An intro that matches the result

    Different for a win, a draw and a loss. After a loss it is supportive, with no criticism of the children.

  2. Score and half-time score

    Home and away, just like in the match report.

  3. Scorers and assists

    With minutes, first names and initials. An assist is a note next to the goal.

  4. Thanks and what comes next

    Thanks for the support and the next match from the calendar, if one is scheduled.

Sample draft

We won! 💪 Academy U15 3:1 Eagles (half time 1:0) ⚽ Jack N. 12′ (assist: Leo S.), Ollie W. 40′, Sam P. 58′ Thank you for the support! Up next: Lions, Sat 15 Nov, 10:00 am.

A match without a displayed score gets a draft without numbers: thanks and photos.

The team gallery organises photos into event albums. A post uses the same photos, so nothing has to be sent twice.

  • A match album collects photos published to the gallery, including those from the event chat.
  • You choose up to 8 photos for a post. Deleting a post does not delete photos from the gallery.
  • Grids load light thumbnails, and the full photo only when it is opened.

Children's privacy comes first

The Wall is part of the team's private space in TrainTeam, not a public profile.

  • Only people in the team see posts and comments.
  • In the draft, players are named by first name and the initial of their surname.
  • Photos are stored privately and shown only to authorised people.
  • Nothing goes to social media without the club's decision.

Publishing children's photos outside the app requires parents' consent. That is the club's decision and responsibility.

What each role can do

Staff publish posts. Anyone who belongs to the team can comment and react.

01

Coach

The team's coach, and the media person on the staff, publish posts, create a post from the match report, delete inappropriate comments and turn comments off under a post.

02

Club administrator

Has the same options in every team of the club and can view every team's Community.

03

Parent

Reads posts from their child's team, likes, comments and replies. Edits and deletes their own comments.

04

Player

Sees their team's Wall and comments and reacts just like parents.

A post or an announcement?

Both reach families, but they serve different purposes.

A post on the Wall

  • Match stories and photos
  • Congratulations and thanks
  • Conversation in the comments

An announcement

  • Things to act on: consent, a fee, a meeting time
  • Read confirmation and a deadline
  • A notification and an email to recipients

FAQ

Questions about the team Wall

Who can see posts and comments?

Only people in the team: staff, club administrators, players and parents linked to a player in that team. The Wall is not public and has no outside link.

Does AI write the post draft?

No. The draft is built from the data recorded in the match report using a fixed template, in the user's language. The coach can change every word before saving.

How are players named?

In the draft, by first name and the first letter of the surname, for example “Jack N.”. Cards, ratings and minutes played are not included in the post.

Where do the photos come from?

From the match album in the team Gallery. The draft selects up to 8 photos. You can deselect them, pick others or add a photo just for the post.

Can parents publish posts?

No. Staff publish posts. Parents and players comment, reply and react.

What if someone writes an inappropriate comment?

Coaches and club administrators can delete any comment and turn comments off under a specific post. Authors can delete their own comments at any time.

Will TrainTeam publish the post on the club's Facebook page?

No. TrainTeam does not publish anything outside the app. If a club wants to share a story publicly, it does so itself and keeps parents' consent for children's images in mind.

Does a post replace an announcement?

No. A post is for match stories and photos. When families need to confirm something or meet a deadline, send an announcement: it has read confirmation and notifications.

Is there a comment limit?

One person can add up to 20 comments an hour. This keeps the Wall from being flooded.
