Dear Parents & Members,
We hope this message finds you and your families in good health and high spirits. We wanted to take this opportunity to share some exciting news that will undoubtedly enhance your experience within our cricket program.
In the ever-evolving world of technology, we understand the importance of staying up-to-date and harnessing the power of digital solutions to enhance our program's efficiency and your (child's) overall development. That is why we are thrilled to announce that in justone month, we will be transitioning the running of our program onto a new digital platform called PLAI.
PLAI is a state-of-the-art mobile application specifically designed to facilitate and streamline sports programs, allowing for more effective communication, better organisation, and enhanced participation for both players and parents alike. We believe this transition will revolutionise our program and significantly benefit all involved parties.
So, what can you expect from PLAI? Here are some of the key features and benefits that await you:
Simplified Communication: PLAI will provide a centralised platform for all program-related communication. You will receive important updates, announcements, and schedule changes directly through the app, ensuring you never miss a beat.
Enhanced Scheduling: With PLAI, you will have access to a comprehensive and up-to-date program calendar. You'll be able to view practice and match schedules, including locations, times, and any last-minute changes, ensuring you're always in the know.
Attendance and Availability: PLAI will allow you to confirm your (child's) attendance for practices and matches, making it easier for our coaches to plan and organise sessions accordingly. You can also update your (child's) availability and let us know about any absences in advance.
Smoother Transacting: For Members Guests, through PLAI, you will have access to a brand new digital payment gateway, allowing your guests to more simply settle dues associated with participation in the Gappers program and other guest activities. This will include a “two-click” system that’ll enable transactions via Credit Card for the first time, as we move away from cheques and fiddly bank transfers.
Community Engagement: PLAI will foster a sense of community by connecting parents, coaches, and players in a shared digital space. You'll be able to connect with other members & parents, share experiences, and support each other, creating a vibrant and supportive cricket community.
We understand that transitioning to a new digital platform may raise questions or concerns. Please rest assured that we have invested significant time and effort into ensuring a smooth transition and providing comprehensive support. We will be sharing detailed instructions on how to download and set up the PLAI app, along with any necessary tutorials and assistance, to ensure a hassle-free onboarding experience for everyone.
We sincerely believe that PLAI will bring our cricket program to new heights, enriching your (child's) journey and making your involvement more seamless and enjoyable. We are genuinely excited about this positive change and the opportunities it presents for the entire cricket community.
Thank you for your continued support, trust, and participation in our program. We look forward to embarking on this digital adventure with you and watching our cricketers flourish with the aid of PLAI.
Should you have any questions or require further information, please feel free to reach out to us. We are here to assist you every step of the way.
Warm regards,
LUKE JONES
