Kids Sports Schedule Manager Poke recipe

Who this is for

Parents with kids in seasonal sports.

Volunteer coaches who send repeat updates.

Families that need schedule changes caught before they become last-minute surprises.

The problem it solves

Youth sports schedules move like a wet fly in fast current: a practice time changes, a tournament bracket updates, and the old message is still sitting in the thread. Parents need one place to ask what actually matters next.

What the recipe does

Looks for sports-related events and emails.

Summarizes upcoming practices, games, locations, arrival times, and gear reminders.

Flags schedule changes and missing details that need a human check.

Can draft a parent-friendly summary when the coach needs to communicate the plan.

What it connects to

Poke

Google Calendar

Gmail

What data it may access

Sports emails or messages that arrive in connected email.

Team names, athlete names, and schedule notes you provide.

What it will not do

It will not contact a coach, parent, or athlete unless you ask.

It will not override official team apps or league websites.

It will not assume a changed time is correct when sources conflict.
