Using Huddles (Team Chat)

Huddles are Rostered's in-app messaging. As a coach you're automatically a member of more than just your team and division channels.

Finding Your Channels​

  1. Tap the Huddles tab at the bottom of the screen
  2. You'll see every channel you have access to
  3. Each channel shows the most recent message and how many are unread

Besides the team and division channels covered below, you may see:

  • All Coaches: every coach in the club, for the current season
  • All Head Coaches: coaches specifically marked as a head coach
  • [Division] Coaches: just the coaches within one division
  • A whole-club channel, open to every active member: coaches, guardians, athletes, and admins alike
  • Any direct messages or Groups you've started or been added to
  • A channel for any tournament your team is part of, for the length of that tournament

You can start a new direct message or create a Group yourself from the Huddles tab.

Sending Messages​

  1. Open a channel and tap the message field at the bottom
  2. Type your message and tap Send
  3. Use @ followed by a name to mention someone specifically; they get a notification about the mention

Reactions​

Long-press any message to react to it, or to see who else has reacted. Rostered does not currently support threaded replies. If you need to respond to one specific message, @mention the person or quote what you're replying to in your own message.

Sharing Photos, Files, and Polls​

Tap the + button next to the message field to attach a photo, video, or file, or to create a poll for the channel. See Creating and Managing Polls for how polls work once posted.

Who's in a Channel​

A team channel includes the coaches and guardians on that team. A division channel includes everyone across every team in that division. You don't need to add anyone yourself: guardians and coaches are added automatically as they join a team or division, and removed automatically if they leave.
