The problem

Right now your season lives in six different places

A group text for the chat. A spreadsheet for snacks. A PDF for the waiver. A league site nobody can log into. Somebody's photo album for the pictures. Then a parent asks what time the game is and you scroll for four minutes to find out.

One schedule everyone trusts

Games, practices, and events in one list — with who's coming, who isn't, and who never answered. Subscribe once and it syncs to the phone calendar.

Snacks and volunteers that fill themselves

Post the open slots. Parents claim them. Nobody has to be nagged by name in a group text at 9pm on a Friday.

Forms that actually come back

Build a waiver or medical release in the app, send it to every family, and watch the progress bar fill. You can see exactly who hasn't submitted.

How it works

Set up in about five minutes

Create the team

Name it, pick a color, and you're in. No league account, no admin approval, no onboarding call.

Text the join code

Every team gets a short code. Send it to your parents in the group text you already have. They join in one tap.

Post the season

Add your games and practices, turn on snack signups, and let the app do the reminding from there.

Schedule & RSVPs

Know who's showing up before Saturday

Post a game once and every family sees the time, the field, and when to arrive. Parents tap Going, Maybe, or Can't — and you get a real headcount instead of a guess.

  • Going / Maybe / Can't with a running count
  • Comments on an event for the "we'll be 10 minutes late" replies
  • Calendar subscription feed — the season lands in Apple, Google, or Outlook calendar
  • A family view that shows one parent's kids across multiple teams

Team chat

A group chat that doesn't take over your phone

Team-wide messages, photos from the game, reactions, replies, and direct messages between a coach and one parent — separate from the family group text, and muteable during quiet hours.

  • Photos, reactions, replies and unread counts
  • Coach announcements that sit at the top and don't scroll away
  • Direct messages for the conversations that shouldn't be team-wide
  • Word filtering, message reporting, and blocking built in

Forms & volunteers

The paperwork, minus the paper

Build a form with the fields you need, require a signature, set a due date, and send it to every family. Then track it — the app shows you exactly who has submitted and who hasn't.

  • Text, date, phone, long answer and checkbox fields
  • Typed signature and due dates
  • Submission tracker with a progress bar, by family
  • Volunteer signup sheets with slots and claim counts

Why free

Because rec sports already costs enough

Youth rec teams are run by a parent who volunteered in a moment of weakness. Charging that person $70 a year, or charging every family a subscription to watch a 9-year-old's game, is a business model — it just isn't a good one for a Saturday morning league.

No advertising

There is no ad network in this app and there never will be. Nothing about your team, your schedule, or your kid is used to target anything.

No data sold

Team content is visible only to approved members of that team, enforced at the database level. It isn't sold, rented, or used to train AI models.

Honest about the future

The core stays free. If SeasonCenter ever needs revenue it'll come from local sponsors and optional paid extras for big organizations — read the full plan.

Common questions

The short answers

Is it really free, or free-for-now?

Free, for real, for every coach and every parent. There's no trial clock, no roster cap, and no feature that gets held back behind a plan.

The honest version of the long-term plan is on the pricing page — the short form is that the core team features stay free permanently, and any future revenue comes from local sponsorships or optional tools for leagues, never from ads.

Do parents have to download an app?

No. SeasonCenter runs in the browser on any phone, tablet or computer. A parent taps your join link, signs up, and they're on the team.

On iPhone and Android you can also add it to your home screen so it opens like a normal app, with its own icon and no browser bar.

My kid's name and photos are in here. How is that handled?

Accounts are for adults only — coaches, parents and guardians. Children don't create accounts. Roster names, jersey numbers and team photos are visible only to approved members of that specific team, enforced by row-level database rules rather than just by app screens.

Coaches agree to get a parent's permission before adding a child's name or photo, and any parent can ask for a child's information to be removed at any time. Details are in the privacy policy.

Can I run more than one team?

Yes. You can coach one team and be a parent on another, and switch between them without signing out. Parents with kids on two teams get a combined family schedule.

Your season starts Saturday either way.

Set up your team in about five minutes, text the join code to your parents, and stop being the schedule.
