Communication is super important to me. I can’t begin to stress to you how important it is.

For most of the people I know, communication is important.  And when you have multiple children, involved in multiple sports and activities, things can get hectic.

As a coach of softball, soccer, and ::gulp:: cheerleading, in addition to being a youth leader for the church, it’s my job to keep parents up to date on when we have practices, games, team pictures, and other assorted events.

And for whatever reason, parents don’t want to talk to other parents.  I’ve yet to figure out why.  I also can’t understand why parents who take pictures at the games don’t email them to the rest of the parents.  I have very few pictures of my daughter when she is playing a sport because I’m coaching… and I can’t coach and take pictures at the same time.

It’s nearly impossible.

So what if we had a place where we, each group, could view dates, pictures, contact information of other families as well as be able to send messages to everyone?

We do!

Someone else, someone who I had the pleasure of meeting at BlogHer this year thinks communication is super important to and she’s created a site that called Qlubb.com and it’s an amazing resource for any type of group, whether you’re a family trying to keep up with one another, a sports team, or a youth group.  If you’ve got a club of some sort, then you can utilize the features of Qlubb.com to organize it for you and enhance communication.

Oh wait.  Yes, I know.  No one wants to register and create yet another user name and password.

So what if I told you that with Qlubb.com you don’t have to.  There is one group password.  That’s all they need to remember!

I set up a page for our youth group (and I’ll keep it private because I don’t have permission to share those photos and contact information with you) but so far, it’s worked out famously.  Perhaps I should’ve set one up for soccer as there have been quite a few who have not been able to figure out when we have practice and when we have a game.

Next year.  I’ll set it up next year.

And now I’m wishing that all of the other things that we are involved in had a website set up like this so that I know what’s going on and when.

The only thing that I don’t like about Qlubb.com is the events feature.  I would love to have a place where I can denote the time of the event, however, I found a work around and just typed it in the event description and what’s neat is that I can have people RSVP right there and sign up to bring something if need be.

The key when working together for our kids, or for the betterment of any group is communication and the communication between the parents I work with just got a whole lot better… and easier.

Oh, and did I mention Qlubb.com is free?

It is.

Now, go… set one up… be the hero.

You can thank me later!

Until next time…
