Sidelines
Built for teams. Safe by design.
Team communication that eliminates private coach-to-player messages automatically. No apps. No logins. Just official, visible messaging.
Youth sports communication shouldn't live in DMs.
Too many apps and missed messages
Private messaging creates risk and confusion
Parents often can't see what's being said
Policies exist, but tools don't enforce them
Sidelines makes private messages impossible by design.
One phone number per team — everyone joins by text
Role-based routing — coaches, parents, players each have clear lanes
Audit-ready — every message is logged with visibility and delivery status
