Team & Training Group Hub

Team & Training Group Hub

What & Why

Create a dedicated group hub where coaches can communicate with and manage their training groups. Currently, the platform has Training Cycles with coach/athlete applications and event-based court assignments, but there's no persistent "team space" where a coach can post updates, share drills, or send messages to just their group. This bridges the gap between broad community messaging and individual profiles, giving each active training team a home base.

Done looks like

• Each active training team (from the existing Training Cycles system) gets a dedicated group page accessible to the assigned coach and enrolled athletes
• The group page has three sections: Announcements (coach posts updates visible to the group), Resources (coach can share drill descriptions, links, or uploaded files), and Roster (list of enrolled athletes with quick links to their profiles)
• Coaches can post group announcements that trigger push notifications to all athletes in the group
• Athletes see their active training group(s) listed on their dashboard with a link to the group page
• Parents can view their child's training group page in read-only mode from the Family Dashboard
• Group pages show the training cycle dates, coach name, focus area, and schedule
• When a training cycle ends, the group page becomes read-only archived content (still viewable but no new posts)
• SuperAdmins can view all active group pages from the Command Center

Out of scope

• Group video calls or live streaming
• File upload for resources (text/link-based only for now — media gallery handles uploads)
• Group chat/messaging thread (the existing community messaging system handles direct messages)
• Creating groups outside the Training Cycles system
