Each player, and even parents and grandparents, can have personal home pages that show their schedules and those of family members. They can also add schedules from soccer, hockey or other sports they play. All the schedules appear on one page. MyTeam also provides an automatic messaging service, sponsored by Coca-Cola's Powerade sports drink. A coach can cancel practice by simply keying in a change and the computerized service will call phone numbers designated by the parents.
Coaches can publish game summaries on the site with pictures.
They can even e-mail the summary to local newspapers.

Keener says he hasn't quantified cost savings, but he says phone bills and the number of forms printed have dropped.
