Emailing players, parents and other club volunteers is a great way to communicate a message and provide significant details as to the message you are trying to get across. It could be a simple ‘Welcome to the club’ or it can provide details of an upcoming match and any changes.
The communications menu option is found under the Competition or Teams modes, depending on which group of people you are trying to contact. If you are a Club, this item is found in the Teams mode. If you are an Association this item is found in the Competitions mode.
Mode: Teams
Menu: Communications > Email > Email People
You can email different groups based on the grade they are in the entire club by selecting the different email option under the email communications tab.
Both these menu paths enable you to send emails from within MyCricket. The difference between the two options is how the recipients are chosen.

Email Clubs |
Each club can designate one or more people from their lists who will receive communications from the association. If these nominated contacts have an email address recorded in MyCricket, they will appear here. You can select all or some of these people to send messages to. Clubs maintain the list via the Club contacts for association(s) function available from the Club administration menu. Alternatively, associations can maintain the lists for the clubs via the Club maintenance function available from the Association administration menu. |

Email People |
You can send a general (free-form) email in bulk to participants within your Association from this page. You can send to your entire list, or search using criteria or a Person Filter. If you have setup one or more Person Filters, you can select a filter from the drop down list. This will display all participants’ who meet the filter conditions. When a Person Filter is selected, other Search Criteria is not shown. To activate the Search Criteria, choose None from the Person Filter drop down list. |

Options
|
The options available are:
· Send a copy of message back to sender: If checked you will receive a copy of the email you have just sent.
· Only display recipients with a valid email address: If checked, the recipient list will be filtered to not show recipients who have no, or an invalid, email address.
· Hide email addresses: By default the recipient's email address is shown under their name. This option hides the address, and reduces the size of the table to make it more readable/usable.
