SportsEngine Motion vs. OnDeck App, Which Should I Use?
We know that many of you use either the SportsEngine Motion or OnDeck phone app for many swim related activities including, but not limited to, meet registration and job sign up. There is some important information about these apps that you need to know to improve your experience.
OnDeck is no longer being supported by TeamUnify or its parent company. Many of the features available in the app no longer work correctly. It is confusing, because the app is still available for download on the App Store.
We recommend that you delete OnDeck and download SportsEngine Motion instead. Your log in credentials will be the same and should work seamlessly. Navigation in the app is exactly the same and you should notice little to no change, with the exception of all the features actually working.
We do stand by the recommendation sent out by Lori Biller earlier this week. Job sign ups are best completed on a desk top computer. However, if you need to use the app for this task then make sure to use the SportsEngine Motion app. We hope this helps.

All of our parent volunteers play a vital role in hosting meets. We simply could not host meets in your absence. While most jobs take little training or experience, meet officials go through an educational and training process that enables them to help officiate at all meets. In fact, our own Excel officials have outnumbered the host team officials in both our first two meets. We are very grateful to our officiating crew but are always looking for new members.
