Fun With Texting: DetroitSoccer.us

Larry’s been gaining mastery over the world of group text messaging for some upcoming projects, and we just put up a simple text subscription service for people who want to follow neighborhood teams in the Detroit City Futbol League, and the minor league Detroit City Futbol Club, Le Rouge.

Check it out at detroitsoccer.us.

The way it works is you text “Follow <team #>” to 313-499-0940 and on game days you get a text early in the day with who, where, and when they’re playing, along with where the after party is, then afterwards you get the score. That’s it. Just a fun, easy way to stay in the loop. 

The texts look something like this (this is for the minor league team, all other games are free):

We also posted a little city map showing neighborhoods with teams:

If you’re a player or a fan (or a possible fan), we hope you like.
