Communications
Numerous communications, many electronic in nature, will be sent out by the PVYBL Board, its respective members, and league volunteers during the year. In this age of overwhelming spam E-mail and phone messages, it is increasingly difficult to ensure that the right message gets to the right person at the right time. This is especially true when a message is being sent to a large group of people - behavior that can regularly be flagged as spam activity.
Some of you may experience issues receiving electronic communications from the league. Remember that most electronic messaging is a broadcast with no indication as to whether or not the intended recipient received the transmission. We do regularly check statistics from our bulk E-mail messages and attempt to address any issues that are flagged.
We recommend the following when it comes to messaging from the league:
- All members of the league should regularly check the website for news and updates - especially right before events are scheduled to occur.
- If you believe you are not receiving electronic communications from the league, please check your Spam, Junk, or related folders to see if the messages are being incorrectly flagged. If so, follow the guidance from your E-mail provider for help with resolving the issue.
- Add the following two E-mail addresses to your list of contacts:
- Head coaches can also pass-through critical information to the parents/guardians of their team members.
If you are aware of someone who continues to have issues receiving electronic communications from the league, please contact the PVYBL Board or have the individual contact us themselves.
