These are examples of communication:
"I have a family matter this evening so Coach Tom will be leading practice."

"Practice is canceled due to lightning."

"Please attend this Thursday's practice as we will discuss important team news."

On the messaging end 
"I can't attend practice because we'll be out of town"
"OK thanks for letting me know"

"Am I at the wrong field?"
"It's on the other side of the school"

I can't help but agree with the poster who does not see this as grooming. Obviously, casual texting with more details/ lengthy back and forth would be a different matter but this is helpful and has been normal in our experience.[/quote]

Nobody is suggesting that all communication would be grooming.  There is a reason school divisions ban this type of thing.  Wouldn't it be wonderful if there was no danger of adults taking advantage of kids but this is the real world.[/quote]

If they do it parents should be on the app.  Our coach said no to parents being on the private app and it goes against multiple rules.  Huge red flag.  [/quote]
