Kids Sports Schedule Manager Poke recipe

Kids Sports Schedule Manager is for families that live inside the moving target of youth sports calendars.

Planned ideaLast tested: TBD

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 or a 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

  • Calendar events related to practices, games, tournaments, and travel.
  • 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.

Example prompts

What sports events are coming up for the kids this week?

Summarize the next tournament day and flag anything I should verify.

Draft a short coach message with this week's practice and game reminders.

Coming soon

This one is still an idea. Use this page to see the job and its limits, then the first test, before treating it like something ready to install.

First test prompt

Read the next seven days of sports-related calendar events and emails. Do not send anything. List what you found and what needs verification.

Known limits

This one is still an idea, so do not treat it like an install-ready recipe.

It depends on sports emails and calendar events being available in connected accounts.
