You won't. Only about 30-50% of people actually will read an email that you send out. I have worked with teams for 4 years now as a FIRST Senior Mentor and quite a few before that and those stats are about true in any situation.

What I suggest teams do is put the info out in many ways. Facebook is a good one, a SECRET FB Group is pretty secure, you control who is in it and who can post to it. Tweet out email updates as well. Let them know information is new and waiting for them in their email.
