Features

From the playbook to the post-game.

  • Your playbook, organized

    Record each play with its formation, concept, down and distance, field position, situation, and coaching notes.

  • Import, then review

    Bring in a playbook spreadsheet or a play-by-play export. AI reads it, and nothing is saved until a coach reviews it.

  • Game day, by role

    Separate live views for the head coach, coordinators, stat tracker, and viewers, kept in sync in real time — and still usable when the signal drops.

  • Know what’s working

    See how your plays have performed in similar situations, based on what your staff has logged.

  • Post-game and season reports

    AI-assisted game reports and season summaries turn logged plays into something you can coach from.

  • Roster, schedule, and opponents

    Keep the season’s roster, games, and opponents alongside your playbook.

How it works

Three simple steps.

  1. Build your playbook

    Add plays by hand or import an existing spreadsheet and review it.

  2. Track the game

    Each coach logs and calls from their own role-based view on the sideline.

  3. Learn from it

    Review the post-game report and season trends before the next week’s practice.

Designed for everyday life

For every week of the season.

  • Friday nights

    Every snap logged by the stat tracker shows up for the play caller in real time.

  • The week after

    Reports show what worked, in which situations, before you build the next game plan.

  • Across the staff

    Invite coaches with the right role, and keep one shared source of truth for the program.

Privacy & sharing

  • Coaches create an account with an email address and password. Team data is stored with our cloud database provider.
  • AI features send game and play information — which can include player names from the roster — to Anthropic for processing.
  • Rosters can include players’ names, jersey numbers, and positions. Players do not have accounts.
  • Notifications, email, and subscription billing are handled by service providers named in our privacy policy.
