How to switch
- Sign up at app.rinkmate.app and create the team.
- Gather your squad list and fixtures into a spreadsheet while you still can, then import both as CSV or Excel. Each row is reviewed before it is added.
- Share one invite code or link so players can join themselves.
- Post the link wherever your team already talks, and pin the first message in Rinkmate chat.
What you used on Teamer, and where it goes
Fixtures and training sessions become events on the Rinkmate schedule with in, out and maybe RSVPs. The squad becomes your roster with positions and jersey numbers. Team conversation moves into one team chat with replies and pinned messages. Subs and fees move to dues requests and the dues tracker.
Free to start
Players are always free, and you can manage your first two teams for free.
Works the way a club team does
Run several teams from one account, link them under a league account for shared standings and scheduling, and give parents a read-only schedule link.
