MAY 2025

Communication Updates + Enhancements + Bug Fixes

Overview:

May expanded one of our most important communication tools to where coaches spend the most time—on the web. Announcements, previously mobile-only, are now fully available inside the Op 36 web dashboard. Coaches can post updates once and reach their entire community instantly, with messages delivered both in-app and via email. And with read tracking built in, coaches now have better visibility into which families are seeing and acting on important information.

  • Announcements added to web app activity feed

  • Program Dashboard Enhancements

  • Enhanced product security

APRIL 2025

9 Hole Event RSVP + Coach Onboarding Checklist + Enhancements + Bugs

Overview:

April was a big step forward for coach empowerment and event execution. We launched the new Coach Onboarding Checklist—built right into the dashboard—to make training new staff easier than ever. No more guessing what to teach or where to send them.
