North Vancouver, BC, March 18, 2014--(T-Net)--The North Shore Girls Soccer Club (NSGSC) announced that it has adopted ePACT Network to enhance emergency preparedness and safety for all players.
With over 3,000 players, NSGSC is one of the largest soccer clubs in North America, supporting indoor and outdoor play across all levels of skill, from children in peewee to 21+ women's leagues. Known for its innovative approach to club growth and management, NSGSC is replacing paper emergency forms used by most sports leagues, and utilizing ePACT to better manage athletes' medical and contact details online.
Tony Bacchus, NSGSC President explains “As with any sport, soccer has risks and safety considerations at games and practices. NSGSC is fully committed to the wellbeing and support of our players, and have adopted ePACT to help us manage any emergency, on and off the field."
ePACT acts as the single emergency record for families, letting them securely store their medical and contact details online, then connect and share this with organizations that support them. NSGSC players, their families and authorized coaches and team managers use ePACT to share critical information and communicate anytime, anywhere in the event of a crisis.
Registration for the 2014/15 soccer season began in February, and ePACT was integrated with the league's online registration system, SpAppz (by TechSys), to provide greater convenience for families and faster access for NSGSC to emergency information.
Randy Wrixon, TechSys President, adds “As a North Vancouver based company, we are thrilled to partner with ePACT in our very own community. The combination of their emergency network with our registration and club management system enhances the experience for our family users, while providing added value to our sports league clients. It's a win-win-win that we are excited to support.”
Kirsten Koppang-Telford, ePACT Co-Founder, adds “As a NSGSC parent, I know firsthand how challenging safety and preparedness can be for leagues, and how terrible paper emergency forms are to fill out each year for families. ePACT is the solution and we are proud to support NSGSC and partner with Techsys.”
ePACT is already being used by several North Shore organizations, including North Vancouver SD44 schools, North Shore Neighborhood House, and the North Shore Inline Hockey League.
