Log every play. Leave with the report done.

Built for high school football coaches. A few taps a play, stats as the game goes, and the postgame report written before you leave the field. Parents watch the ball move on Field Pass.

Joining a team is free for parents, fans and coaches. No ads.
Sideline Headset is a separate free app for your coaches, included with a coach subscription.

What it does

Built for the time between plays.

You're on the sideline, the offense is breaking the huddle, and you can't look down for long. So everything here is quick.

Log at game speed

Formation, play, ball carrier, a spot button, save. A plain run takes a few taps, and the ball is placed for the next snap when you're done. The keyboard only shows up if you open the notes field.

Logging a play, start to finish

Stats while it still matters

Totals update as plays go in. Answer "how many carries has he got?" in the third quarter, not Saturday morning with a spreadsheet and a legal pad.

Live player statistics updating during the game, with per-player rushing, receiving, passing and return totals and the tries after touchdowns.
Player stats, as the game goes

What's working, by the second quarter

Coach's Read counts your own calls: what's moving the ball tonight, what's gone cold, and what a scout in the other press box can already see. It uses counts, not averages, and nothing ranks until it's been called three times.

Coach's Read on the Season tab: a box of what an opposing scout would write about your tendencies, a list of formation tells showing run or pass by formation, and a breakdown by down.
Coach's Read: what's working, across the season

The booth and the sideline, in one place

A shared notepad for your staff. The coach upstairs types what he sees, and the coach on the field has it. Each note has a name, a post (booth or field) and a quarter, and at the break they file themselves into a halftime card. Coaches only, never shown to fans.

The Booth: a shared feed of staff notes, each showing who wrote it, whether they were in the booth or on the field, and which quarter.
The Booth, for your staff

Mistakes don't wreck the game

Undo the last play with one tap, or open one from the middle of the log and change where it ended. Numbering, drives and start spots fix themselves. After the game, Tidy up this game lists anything that doesn't add up, like a touchdown with no score or a play with no player, and takes you to the play to fix it. It never changes anything on its own.

The current drive on the game screen: the last play, a pass to number 84 for 11 yards, and a red Undo button beside it.
The Tidy up screen for a finished game, listing three things that look off: a final score that does not match the scores recorded, a play that scored with no score recorded, and a pass with the same player throwing and catching.
Undo is one tap. Tidy up lists what doesn't add up.

Punts, kickoffs and returns, properly

Kicks get their own form, because a punt and a punt return aren't the same play. Return yards are measured from where the ball came down, so a returner gets his real number, not the punter's leg.

The kicking game form

Nothing goes unscored

Reach the end zone and the dashboard asks for the points and the try, already filled in.

No bars, no problem

Log a full game offline, plays and scoring included. It catches up when the connection returns.

The whole staff, one game

Everyone signed in to your team works the same game. Parents and players join read-only with the invite code, and never see the playbook.

On an iPad the game screen splits in two: play entry with the ADD PLAY button on the left, and the scoring summary with the full play log on the right.

After the game

Put the game to work.

Everything you log turns into something you can send: a score graphic, a stats sheet, a written report.

Game graphics to share

Pick a score, the end of a quarter, halftime or the final. You get a clean score graphic with your colors and your top players' lines. Post it or text it.

Stats images and PDFs

A stats image or PDF for any game, and one for the whole season. Print them, or send them to your AD or booster club.

A postgame report, already written

Line score, every score and your top players' stat lines. Tap Draft the email and the report is already in the body, with your recipients remembered on your phone. Or share it as text or a PDF.

Sharing is for coaches. Parents and players follow the game but can't export from it.

How it works

Set it up once. Use it every Friday.

Build your team

Enter your roster (name, number, position, grade), your formations and play calls, and your team colors. Then send your staff the invite code.

Work the game

Log plays as they happen. Score, down and distance and ball position update themselves, and stats build while you coach.

Send the report

Open the postgame report when it's over: line score, every score and your top players' stat lines. Draft the email, or share it as text or a PDF, without waiting until you're home.

Every screen is written down: six guides and six short clips.

What it costs

One subscription. Up to five teams.

Creating a team needs a coach subscription. One subscription covers your whole account: up to five separate teams, so a varsity and a JV cost the same as one. In the US it's $50 a year. The App Store listing and the subscription screen in the app show the price for your country, and what they show is what you're charged. The first two weeks are free. Apple allows one introductory offer per account, so the trial is there if you haven't already used one on this app.

Joining a team with an invite code is free for coaches, parents and fans. Your assistants, parents and players pay nothing. Here's what a fan sees.

Sideline Headset is included. It's the wireless headset app for your staff, on the phones they already carry. Nothing extra to buy, and every coach on your staff can use it, not only the one who subscribed.

Try it before you pay. On the sign-in screen, tap Look around first and pick an example team: one you coach, with the real play-charting screen, or one you follow, the way a parent sees a game. It's all made up. No account, nothing saved, nothing charged.

Apple charges your Apple Account. Cancel any time in the Settings app and you keep access until the end of the period you've paid for. If this page is ever out of date, trust the subscription screen in the app. It shows the price and terms that apply to you.

For parents and players

Parents and players follow free.

Hand out your six-character invite code and a parent gets the live score, every play in plain English and a running stat line for their kid. Joining is free, there's nothing to buy and no upgrade tier, and there are no ads.

Field Pass

A football field on the game page. Every play moves the ball, a touchdown or turnover gets its own banner, and you can mark your kid so the field shows his name when he makes a play.

Field Pass, as the plays are logged

The score, live

The score, quarter and current drive, on their phone as your staff logs it on yours. For the parent stuck at work, this is the game.

Every play, in English

Trey Halloran ran for 8 yards. Plain sentences, no coaching shorthand. The fan version is built separately from the coach's, so your play names have no way into it.

Their kid's stat line

Carries, yards, catches and touchdowns for each player, updating through the game. It's what parents open the app for, and it's there Friday night, not Saturday morning.

What a fan sees

On student information

Your roster is your roster.

The app holds information about minors, so it's worth being plain about it. Roster data is visible only to the people your team's owner has let in. It is never used to track anyone across other apps or websites. Other companies handle it only to run the app: Google stores it, and score alerts that name a player pass through Google's and Apple's notification services. There are no ads, and the app keeps no record of which screens a person opens or how long they spend in it. Besides what people type in, it sends a crash and error report when something breaks, so problems can be found and fixed, and a few things it needs to work: a token for game alerts and the lock-screen scoreboard, a daily check of which app version a phone is running, and a weather request to Apple for a game's forecast. About once a month it also reports which scoreboard style a phone showed, without any account or sign-in; the server keeps only a count. Crash reports carry no names, and only a few error reports include an account id.

Who builds this

Built by a coach.

I'm Jeff Feely. I'm a high school football coach in Massachusetts, and I've coached football for 15 years. I built this app because of how we tracked games.
