"We were in baseball tournament last year in a different city. We had 12 kids and parents in 12 different cars. We were trying to go from our hotel to the fields. Unfortunately, everyone had their own directions, and most got lost. One car made it to the field and called my cell phone with directions. We only had 15 minutes until game time and needed everyone there asap. I made one phone call with directions to all 12 parents and everyone arrived with about 5 minutes to spare. One Call Now saved our season."

"I have found One Call Now to be an extremely valuable tool this past season. I used it for last minute practice cancellations, game day field changes, rescheduled games, and to conduct surveys to get the majority opinion when deciding which tournaments to attend. The team parents were likewise impressed with the phone messaging service and appreciated getting the information directly to them when they needed it, eliminating the need to check e-mail constantly."

"I can only begin to tell you how popular this service is with our team parents! We have already had numerous situations where we needed to contact everyone due to weather conditions or changes in the schedule (pretty normal spring issues), but the most impressive came with a field conflict. The Vipers were double booked with another No. KY team and the field director was called for clarification (Derek Brills - former Cincy Bengal). Mr. Brills settled the issue to the satisfaction of all parties by allowing our team to relocate to another local baseball field under his direction. I was scrambling for the phone number of our head coach who was out of town for a business meeting. Mr. Helmer, the One Call Now Group Leader, redirected our parents to the new location before many of them even arrived to the field of dispute, saving the practice time and a bunch of frustration for new players and their parents. I imagine that you receive messages like this one with great frequency due to the expedience and reliable nature of your service. We thank you for the personal time taken in the start up process and for your continued support."

"I discovered One Call Now several years ago when I started coaching a girls summer fastpitch tournament team. During the weekend tournaments the team has their first game scheduled and all games after that point are determined by the previous games status. If the team wins you play again at one time on a certain field and if you lose you play again at a different time and field. Games are continuously happening on eight to ten different fields from Friday evening to Sunday evening. It is almost impossible to keep up with the families of 12 players and keep them informed on game times and fields. With the One Call Now service I was able to program each families home phone number and their cell phone numbers into the database. Using my cell phone I am able to keep each and every family completely informed at all times so that our teams are on the fields and ready to go at the appropriate times. Time between games is used to go over the previous game, come up with new game plans, eat and rest. The One Call Now service makes it possible to use the time to do this and not run around a complex trying to locate and give information to 12 families. One Call Now is a service that has made the coaching jobs much more efficient and enjoyable. Thank you for this remarkable service!!!"

"Our soccer club has ten competitive teams and two high school teams that utilize the One Call Now service. We have found it invaluable due to the ever changing weather and the rescheduling of games and practices. As many of our players come from surrounding counties and have to drive upwards to an hour and a half, this service provides an instant access to messages pertaining to practices and games. Thanks!"

"I'm a soccer coach, plain and simple. It's what I love to do. So much so that I coach my 3 kids' teams plus another two - that's five teams with nearly 80 players. Last fall, my top two teams played in an out of town tournament. Day 1 was great, but on day 2 the thunderclouds and rain starting rolling in at 5:00 AM. With the One Call Now service, I was able to communicate with all the families and players, staying at two separate hotels, about the game rain delays. The subgroup messaging allowed me to send specific messages to team managers about anticipated weather conditions and tournament guidelines. With extra time to re-group and pick a local restaurant for breakfast, I just used One Call Now. It doesn't take long for thirty 12-year-olds to wipe out a breakfast buffet! When our Rangers advanced to the semifinals based on tie-breaker points from a game played one hour after ours, parents didn't need to stay at the fields waiting for results, just head back to the hotel pool and wait for my OneCall Now message - we're in and we play at 3:00 o'clock on Field 16, wear your lucky white jersey kit! Neither team brought home a championship trophy that weekend, but with the ease and simplicity of the OneCall Now service, all of our players, families and supporters knew the latest news and enjoyed a winning weekend!"

My name is Scott Kneer and I am the Assistant President of Englewood Little League in Englewood OH. A suburb of Dayton OH. Our Organization has 750 boys and girls and 62 Baseball and softball teams. First of all I must say that One Call Now has revolutionized the way we can communicate with the several hundred of kids and their parents in our league, Two years ago my bank, Mainsource Bank, had some promotional material offering to anyone in the community a free One Call Now subscription. I solicited Daniel, a bank employee, about possibly offering all of our managers a One Call Now subscription—it was an immediate yes. We communicated this offer to our 62 Managers as to what they need to do and the great benefits of One Call Now at our managers meeting. A month later I spoke to Daniel and he told me they signed up 45 new accounts to our managers., far exceeding his expectations. I heard several testimonials from our managers as to how much time and effort it has saved them and vowed to use the service forever. One Manager even told me "One Call Now invention is a great as the cell phone in regards to service, convenience and ease of use." I personally used my One Call Now to manage my Baseball team and I also ran the concession stand with 23 kid workers. With one call I could communicate to everyone in a matter of seconds. I made just under 100 calls in 2007 and the times savings had to be literally hours of my time and also the confirmation of received call assures everyone received my call. My wife is the Volunteer Coordinator for our PTO and she uses it to communicate with her school volunteers. So the uses are unlimited and really can’t imagine not having a One Call Now. We appreciate the service and One Call Now will always be a part of Englewood Little League.

"I absolutely love the service. I manage a metro baseball team, and this past year we have used your service to support all communications for practices, games, events, cancellations, etc. Overall, it helped support a 47 game season including regular season and 5 tourneys. I used your phone messaging service to send important reminders and changes and cancellations due to weather emergencies. Excellent stuff!"

"I have loved my four years as a coach for a girl’s soccer team. The only drawback I've had in the last four years is the administrative work. One Call Now proved to be an invaluable time saver. I would recommend it to any coach. Thanks"!

I have been using your service for 4 years now. I can tell you that I would never coach or have a group of people that I need to stay in contact without your service. I have traveled to many towns that were new to our team and the directions were, shall we say not exactly accurate. Since I am the head coach I always try to be at a venue first so over the years it has been so easy to make the call to the team and give them the proper directions. Game changes and rain outs are the best because all I have to do is make one call and I know that everyone has received the message. If there is ever any questions on who has received it I just jump on the intrenet and sign into my group. There I can see who has not received the message, who has it on there answering machine or who received it live. There has never been a single person that has said that they didn't get the message. The parents love it because they are always in the loop and don't have to wonder what the plans might be. Another feature that I enjoy is the one where your parents can give a tone response. Sometimes I will call a practice at the last minute. With the tone response I know how many people will be attending. Again I can jump online and see who responded with a yes and know who to expect. Lastly, the fact the I don't have to waist time calling my team on the phone, I have more time to spend with my family. With 3 boys I can tell you that we are moving from one place to the next non stop. Oh and one more thing. Other company's have tried to get me to switch, but their pricing plans don't compare with yours. Within 3 or 4 times using their service I would be paying what I would be paying for with yours and I get your service for a year at a time."

"The countless hours over a course of a season this will phone messaging service will save you is truly hard to believe. Every coach I shared this with spent the rest of the season saying thank you."

"I am a working mom, with a very hectic schedule. "I have 2 high school students and one grade school child who keep me busy traveling around the city with sports and weekend tournaments, etc. I am the manager for my daughter's soccer team, and that alone keeps me busy during soccer season. Just making sure we are at the right field at the right time can keep me going non-stop. When a friend advised me of the One Call Now, I decided to try it out for a season to see if it would save me some time, and that was four years ago. I travel a lot for my job, and it always seemed like when I was away on business, soccer practice was being cancelled or games were being rescheduled. Instead of having to call 30 different phone numbers, all I would have to do is call one number, and I knew that all of the parents would get the same message at the same time. Not only did it save me a lot of time, but it also saved on miscommunication and ensured that all parents received the exact same message. I could make the calls on the way to the airport, or in the middle of a business meeting, or calling from my hotel. It was a lifesaver, and I would never be able to manage the team effectively without One Call Now. It only takes me 5 minutes to make a call, instead of spending 2 hours calling every phone number for every player. Thanks so much for ensuring that working parents with hectic schedules had the ability to do their jobs, and spend more time with their children at night. One Call Now is a lifesaver for me."

When I first began with OneCall Now I used it pretty much straightforward by just entering each of my parents phone numbers for each child on our youth soccer team. After a while I noticed that some messages would go to "extra" phones and leave unnecessary messages for instance on a home phone if we were traveling as a team out of state however it would go to the parents cell phone....etc... Solution: I made two subgroups out of our Soccer Team. The first is a group of home phone numbers and the second is a group of cell phone numbers for each parent. Thus with two subgroups of phone numbers I could just call the appropriate set of phones that I think will best get our message to the group without "extra" unwanted messages. For instance, when we arrive in the spring for practice at our field sometimes the weather quickly changes and 10 minutes before practice is about to begin we have to cancel it due to a heavy downpour of rain thus I only need to call everyone's cell phone since most families are in their cars at that time. Another example is when we are traveling at tournaments out of home area many times a field assignment or game time will change slightly and I need to communicate to everyone at the hotel or tournament sight the change. Again, just calling the cell phone subgroup helps to deliver the message without calling everyone's home phone which is not applicable. Lastly, in some cases, the opposite is true and I just want to call the home phones. Occasionally, I may need to send out a reminder about the weekend upcoming game or practice schedule in the evening and since most people are home and it is not a priority message I just send my message to everyone's home phone number. SIMPLE and DIRECT COMMUNICATION that is efficient! That is how One Call Now helps me manage our busy and changing schedule in the youth soccer world more easily, saving ME a lot of time and energy!!

"I want to thank everyone at One Call Now for making our season a great one. One phone call and every team member gets the information they need to receive. I programmed their home and cell phone numbers, so they would receive the info wherever they were. This is extremely useful when canceling due to weather. Also, the personnel at One Call Now are 1st class! They walked me through any difficulties I was encountering. I would highly recommend One Call Now to all coaches. Thanks for your service and support!"
