Honor Mom with
Mother’s Day Introductions…

Back to Instruction Videos Page

What better way to honor mom on Mother’s Day Weekend than to include her in the walk-up introductions. Let her choose the walk-up song for her son or daughter. Let her voice the intros. Or include Mom’s name in the introductions.

Each of these ideas include instructions on duplicating the team. By duplicating the team, you can then do your edits on the duplicate team and leave your existing/master/original team undisturbed.

Mom Chooses Music. Just open your existing team, and choose Actions > Duplicate Team. Give the duplicate team a subtitle of “Mother’s Day” or “Mom Music”. Now you can open the duplicate Mother’s Day team and edit the music to whatever mom wants without impacting the original/master team in any way. Of course you’ll need to reach out to the moms and ask them to select a song. They’ll love it! …And the kids will love mixing things up too while honoring mom in the process.

Now Batting, My Son, Tommy Johnson. Go Tommy! You might even consider letting the moms voice their kids intros on your duplicate team “Now Batting, My Son, Tommy Johnson. Go Tommy!”. That will take a little more preparation but would be a nice touch. And again, as long as you are doing all this on a duplicate team, it will not impact anything on your original team.

Now Batting, #28 Madden Riley, Son of Cindy Riley. And if you want to go all out, you can create/order professional intros that include mom “Now Batting, #28 Madden Riley, Son of Cindy Riley” (or “Daughter of”). This video will demonstrate the process (The video focuses on Father’s Day but the same concept applies to Mother’s Day Intros)

To do so….

  • Create a new team which you can just title “Moms” or “Gladiator Moms” or whatever. Add the moms names to this team (no numbers). To make that process easier, you might just duplicate your master/Now Batting team, then open the duplicate and edit replace the kids names with moms names (and remove the numbers). If you have a SuperVoice team, then duplicate then you would duplicate the blue team.

  • Then, order pro-voicing on this team, choosing the same announcer you chose for the players intros, and a standard order type. Choose the format of just first and last name (NO number and NO Now Batting), and in Special Instructions, let the announcer you want them all to be voiced as “Son of Cindy Riley”.

  • Once you get that back, open your Now Batting team (or gold team if you have SuperVoice), and choose Actions > Duplicate Team and give that team a subtitle of “Dads Day” or whatever.

  • Now, edit the first player, and Edit the voice, and turn on SuperVoice. Click Add Players and then navigate to your Dads team and choose the appropriate dad. Adjust the order of the components so that the player is first. And then adjust the overlap.

  • Repeat with the remaining players.
