0:00 Hey, Next Level Coaches, Bradley here in Module 10 to talk to you about the Next Level App and how to use it.

0:09 So first off, we’re going to talk about the Next Level App and what it can do for you throughout the Next Level season.

0:18 First off, you can view your schedule, your times, and matchups on a weekly basis. You can view team messages here in the message function.

0:28 You can also craft your own messages through this to send them out to your team here in the top right with this pencil icon. You can see the league standings. You can access our rule book if you have any questions about the rules, and you can also find any player or parent contact information on the bottom if you just click on any of your players.

0:51 And then lastly, in your notification section, you can see any league-wide communications that come out from your site director.

1:00 What’s expected of you in the Next Level App? First off, download it. If you have an iPhone, we have an app in the App Store.

1:07 Give it a download. If you have an Android, bookmark the page, the website, which we’ll provide to you on the next slide.

1:14 Your main job is to, before Week 1 kickoff, send a message to your team. Click that pencil icon, craft a message, introduce yourself, tell everybody you’re excited to get after it.

1:24 Here’s an example message on the right that you can use. If you would like: "Hey Trojans, my name is Bradley and I’ll be your student coach for the upcoming season. Enter your school here. I’m really excited to meet everyone this Sunday. Let’s have some fun this year. See you this weekend."

1:38 Okay? You can use the app to communicate with your team if you’re going to be absent on any given week. Give your players a heads up, "I’m not going to be there for whatever reason."

1:44 And then a nice little touch here is to send some post-game notes. Send out a message: "Hey, great job last week! Can’t wait to get after it again next Sunday." Or you can ask for some help: "Hey, is there any extra parents who can help us out during practice? We need the extra hands."

1:58 Okay, the app is there for you to use, please use it. I’m going to leave this slide up here for a second.

2:07 On the left, we have a QR code for the Apple App Store. You can download the iOS app.

2:15 And on the right here, we have a QR code to app.nextlevelsports.com for any of our Android users. Unfortunately, right now we don’t have an Android app yet. It’s in the works. Hopefully, we’ll have that in the next year or two. Again, if you have an iPhone, download the app.

2:31 Log in using the email that you registered with on your onboarding form for Next Level. That will get you app access.

2:40 Okay? If you have any questions, email training@nextlevelsports.com.
