First App to Simplify Coach to Player Communication Launched

Online, October 18, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Team Management Solutions, a creative marketing consultancy specializing in developing and bringing new products and services to previously untapped market niches, today announced the launch of its Coach's Wire™ Wire mobile app for youth and school sports coaches. The app, which is available for purchase through the Apple® iTunes ® store is available for downloading on the iPhone® 3G, 3Gs, 4 models, as well as for the iPad®, and iTouch®

Simple, organized, turn-key system takes emailing and texting to a new level

Coach's Wire takes the hassle out of having to do all the tedious but necessary administrative coaching duties like emailing and texting that can eat up valuable time. The handy tool stores and keeps track of individual player information and facilitates communication of all the logistical details that players and their parents look to their coach for during the season. With Coach's Wire, you can send customized emails at anytime, from anywhere, to individual players, parents or the entire team. It also eliminates the need to recruit a parent assistant or one's own spouse to begrudgingly fill the role of corresponding secretary to the team.

Andrew K. Rosen, founder and president of Team Management Solutions, is a sports marketing veteran who formerly handled all marketing and business development for hall of fame baseball icon Cal Ripken, Jr. "Coach's Wire will be a difference maker for Coaches of all levels," said Rosen. "It really minimizes the time a coach has to deal with the administrative side and allows them to focus on coaching."

How it Works
Once Coach's Wire is downloaded, the user simply inputs its team name and then chooses the icon that corresponds to the team's sport. Prompts lead the user through the set up. Coach's Wire also has the ability to:
Input multiple sports icons to help a coach manage multiple team responsibilities.
Record dates and times of practices and games and note the names of the opposing teams.
Highlight, using color coded icons, which color uniform to wear and when
Link to Google Maps to provide directions to game locations
Sports supported by Coach's Wire include: Football, Field Hockey, Soccer, Basketball, Ice Hockey, volleyball, wrestling, baseball, golf, lacrosse, softball and tennis.

Coach's Wire is available for purchase through the Apple® App Store for $1.99. A Blackberry® and Android® compatible version of the app are slated for launch in late fall 2010.
