Inside RallyText
The dashboard when you need it. Plain SMS when they don't.
Staff get one place to send, schedule, track, and follow up. Everyone else keeps using the Messages app already on their phone.
Send + receive
Messages and private replies
Compose for the full roster or a selected audience, verify delivery, and keep inbound replies organized without exposing anyone's personal number.
Know who's coming
Attendance that updates from replies
Members respond to event reminders, staff take one-tap attendance, and the history stays available for follow-up or CSV export.
Plan ahead
Calendar and automatic reminders
Add practices, shifts, rehearsals, or events. RallyText sends the reminder and brings responses back into the same dashboard.
Most coaches don't have a system forcing the right call — they're just trying to remember. RallyText makes it automatic. Every message to an athlete copies the parents. Every outbound text logs to the dashboard. You send the text; everything else takes care of itself.
Auto-CC a second adult on every athlete DM
There is no "DM your athlete" mode. Every 1:1 message to a minor automatically copies a parent, guardian, or another adult participant — like an assistant coach or team director. Audit log keeps the receipts for your nonprofit board. US Center for SafeSport guidelines ↗
Your texts actually land
The carriers have rules about mass texting — teams that ignore them get blocked. We handle the registration, prefix your messages, and add the opt-out line so your cancellation texts don't disappear into spam.
No wrong numbers on your roster
Everyone verifies their phone before they get added. No typos, no stale numbers, no mystery replies. Your contact list is people who actually said yes.
Free for any youth program
Not using RallyText yet? Get the Safe Sport Texting Checklist anyway.
A one-page guide every coach in your program should follow when texting athletes under 18 — even if you stay with group texts or another tool. Built from US Center for SafeSport guidelines, A2P 10DLC carrier rules, and what an audit will actually ask for if something goes wrong.
✓ When to CC a second adult — and who to pick
✓ The audit-trail mistake most coaches make
✓ Why your personal cell is a board-meeting risk
✓ Carrier rules every team number has to follow
✓ Escalation path if an athlete texts something concerning
No card, no spam. One email with the checklist attached.

This is the part you'll actually do every day. Same Messages app you already use. ALL hits the whole team. COACHES goes to coaches only. FAMILY sends to one athlete and their parents. You text it exactly like you'd text anyone — RallyText figures out who gets it.

Text commands
Four words cover most days.
Staff text the team number from Messages. RallyText turns the first word into the right audience or action.
Raise money with the community already on your roster.
Create a campaign, share its RallyText donation link, and keep supporters updated from the same place you already manage your group. Donors open a mobile-friendly page—no app or RallyText account required.
Accept one-time gifts and optional recurring gifts through your connected Stripe account.
Text the campaign to your roster or opted-in donors without using monthly plan credits.
Track progress in the dashboard while donor messaging consent stays separate and optional.
Add a name, goal, cover image, and recurring-gift option. RallyText creates a stable donation link you can use anywhere.
02
Share it in one text
Send the campaign to your roster, your opted-in Donors group, or both through the normal consent-checked delivery pipeline.
03
Watch the total grow
Follow campaign progress in RallyText. Recurring donors can manage or cancel their gift through Stripe's customer portal.
Fundraising is available on every RallyText plan. RallyText charges a 1% application fee in addition to Stripe processing fees. Payout timing follows the connected Stripe account's settings. An organization's ability to provide a tax-deductible acknowledgment depends on its own legal and tax status.
For leagues, schools & multi-team groups
Let staff move fast without giving up oversight.
RallyText separates day-to-day team communication from organization-level control. Give each staff member the access they need, add review where policy requires it, and keep a durable record behind every send.
Approval policiesRequire review for selected broadcasts and preserve the decision with the message record.
Multi-team oversightGive each team its own roster and number while organization leaders retain consolidated controls.
Emergency accountabilityTrack authorization, delivery, acknowledgments, nonresponders, follow-up, and incident closure.
Household safeguardsModel guardians and delivery preferences without weakening custody-aware recipient controls.
Account securityProtect privileged access with role enforcement, MFA, passkeys, and security-event records.
Who it's for
If you organize it, RallyText handles it.
Started with mountain biking. Now works for any group where one person needs to text the whole roster and have it actually land — sports teams, businesses, churches, clubs, classrooms, troupes, non-profits, anything in between. Same product, the labels adapt to what you call it.
Pick the plan that matches your message volume, not your roster size. Every plan includes a dedicated number, Group Thread, and a monthly credit allowance. Go over and it's $0.04/credit — billed transparently, never as a surprise.

Security and accountability
Concrete safeguards. Built into the workflow.
RallyText was architected from the ground up with child safety and data protection as non-negotiables — not features bolted on after launch.
🔒
Two-adult safeguards enforced
Direct staff messages to a minor automatically copy a guardian or second adult. The control is enforced by the system and preserved in the audit record.
🔐
Phone Numbers Encrypted
Per-team Fernet AES-128-CBC + HMAC-SHA256 encryption at rest. Unique key per team. A database breach gets ciphertext — not phone numbers.
🤖
Message screening on-server
Automated message screening runs on RallyText infrastructure before delivery rather than sending message content to a third-party AI cloud.
✅
OWASP-aligned defenses
Role-based authorization, input and output controls, secure session handling, and automated security regression tests cover the major web-application risk categories.
No. They receive a plain SMS on whatever phone they already have. No app, no account, no setup on their end. If they can receive a text, they're in.
Cancel any time from your dashboard — no phone call, no form, no questions. If you cancel before day 4 of your trial, you won't be charged at all.
Yes. Drop in a CSV and your whole roster is loaded in minutes. NICA teams: PitZone exports work directly — no reformatting needed. You can also add members one at a time or send an invite link they join themselves.
Yes. Every direct message to a minor automatically copies a second adult — a parent, another coach, or a team director. This is enforced by the system at all times, not a setting that depends on anyone remembering.
Plans start at $29/month, chosen by message volume rather than roster size. Every plan includes a dedicated phone number, roster management, broadcast SMS, and Group Thread — no separate add-ons to buy. Full pricing is on the pricing page.
Each SMS carrier message part sent to one recipient and each inbound reply uses a credit. Long or Unicode messages can use more than one part. A Group Thread message uses one inbound credit plus the outbound fan-out to its recipients. See the full credit explanation.
Yes. Every current plan includes a dedicated local number at no extra charge, and you choose the area code during setup. Support can also help with a later area-code change.
Yes. Invite multiple staff members and give each person only the permissions they need—for messaging, roster, schedules, reports, billing, settings, or organization oversight.
A reply to a normal broadcast returns privately to authorized staff. A reply inside a Group Thread is shared with that selected group. Personal phone numbers remain hidden in both modes.
No. Current plans include unlimited contacts. Choose a plan based on monthly message credits, not how many people are on your roster.
Yes. Upload a PDF or image and RallyText sends a branded link that opens in any phone browser. Link Clicks shows opens and recent activity without requiring MMS.
Connect your organization's Stripe account, create a campaign, and share its donation link. RallyText supports one-time and optional recurring gifts and charges a 1% application fee in addition to Stripe processing. Donor SMS consent remains separate and optional.
Group texts require everyone to read every message to catch the important ones — and replies go to the whole group. Facebook posts reach maybe 20-30% of your members organically. RallyText sends directly to every phone as a plain SMS, and replies come only to you. It's not social — it's direct.
Sports teams, youth leagues, small businesses, churches, scout troops, nonprofits, school classrooms, theater groups, and community organizations. The labels adapt to your org type — coaches, managers, pastors, troop leaders — so it always speaks your language.
Most teams are ready in about 10 minutes. Pick your org type, import or add your roster, choose a dedicated number in your area code, and send.
