Question

Next season I will take over the organisation of our local Bowls team.
The present incumbent uses an arcane spreadsheet and Post-it notes. There must be a better way.

I'm after something to keep track of team members and their preferred playing positions. Also, the fixtures and the team members who are available for each fixture. Then some means of notifying the team of updates - either email or presentation on the web.
It is only a small Sunday afternoon league, so not many members to handle.

I know other teams in our league use Eteamz but that seems too feature-limited at first sight.

I am open to the platform on which it runs. Free would be nice but a small fee would be acceptable

Explanation / Answer

If you are after something simple, there is MySportsPlanner. This is a Dutch website and although most of the site is available in English, some of the FAQ pages are only available in Dutch.

It is a website where you can register a team. Members of the team then register and make their availability known. The captain can then select players for matches, send emails to members, keep statistics and other features.

It is free and simple. Bowls is not one of the sports in its signup dropdown list, so you would have to go for "other sport" but it should work for you.
