  4. Require Unique Contacts - Be careful making all contacts unique in the event a team uses one Coach/Manager, but it also forces teams to put in specific contacts so as not to have multiple coaching conflicts and confusion because a Manager adds him/herself in both roles. Marking this checkbox (Require that at least one contact is reachable by text messaging) only requires ONE of the contacts to enter text messaging information (you won't mark the Text* for each contact)
