For coaches
Coach youth sports. Skip the admin.
You signed up to coach, not to chase RSVPs, count Venmo payments and re-send the practice time. Team Tether is the team app for youth sports coaches who want the season to run itself — from the phone in your pocket.

What changes on Monday
Before
- “What time is practice?” — asked in three different group chats
- A spreadsheet of who paid, a Venmo feed, and a nagging feeling someone hasn't
- Counting thumbs-up emojis to guess who's coming Saturday
- The play drawn on a napkin, photographed, and lost
- An assistant who can't do anything unless you're there

- ✓Dues set once; every family sees what they owe, and one tap marks a payment received
- ✓RSVPs in a tap, a live tally, and a nudge to the ones who haven't answered
- ✓Plays drawn with a finger, animated, saved to the team playbook
- ✓Unlimited assistants, each with exactly the permissions you give them
Game day, sorted
Know who's coming before you leave the house
Every event can ask for an RSVP. Families answer from the notification, you see the tally live, and a reminder goes out before the deadline. Take attendance at practice in seconds and see each athlete's history when you set a lineup.
RSVPs and attendance →Get paid
Dues that collect themselves
Set the team's dues once — up front or monthly — and every family sees exactly what they owe and when. Cash, checks and transfers are marked paid in a tap, so you always know where the team stands without a spreadsheet. Families paying by card in the app, with auto-pay for monthly dues, is on the way.
Dues and payments →Coach smarter
A playbook that moves
Drop players, draw routes, add a defense, press play. Save it to the team playbook, export a PDF for the binder or a video for the group chat. Built for the sideline, on the phone you already have.

Coaches ask
Is Team Tether free?
Yes. The Free plan covers one team with up to 30 athletes, the schedule, join codes, dues tracking, the team feed, documents, chat links and the play editor. Coach and Coach Pro add more teams and athletes, RSVPs, attendance, volunteer sign-ups, custom roles and permissions for your staff, more saved plays and clean exports.
Can I collect dues in the app?
You can track them today, and collect them by card soon. Set dues up front or monthly, give any player their own plan, and every family sees exactly what they owe and when — you mark cash, checks and transfers paid by hand. Paying by card in the app, with auto-pay for monthly dues and money paid out to your bank, is built and being finished off; it is not switched on yet.
Which sports does it work for?
Any. Team Tether grew up around basketball — the play designer draws on a court, and the first teams were basketball teams, AAU programs and clinics — and every other sport works the same way: soccer, baseball and softball, football, volleyball, hockey, lacrosse, swim, track. The schedule, roster, dues and feed don't care what ball you use.
Does it work for a league or a youth sports organization like CYO or AAU?
Yes. A coach can run several teams and programs under one account and one subscription, and every team has unlimited assistant coaches with their own permissions. An organization plan for clubs and academies that pay for many coaches at once is on the way — tell us what you run and we will find a fit.
Can assistant coaches help run the team?
Yes, and there is no limit on how many, on any plan. On Free, assistants join with one standard role that can help run everything. On Coach and Coach Pro you can build roles like Scheduler or Treasurer and grant only what each needs — schedule, RSVPs, dues, announcements, documents or roster.
Is there a web version?
Yes. The website has full coach and parent dashboards. The phone app and the website share one account and stay in sync.
Can I cancel any time?
Yes. Cancel from Manage billing whenever you like. Nothing is deleted if you downgrade — teams, athletes and plays all stay; you just can't add past the smaller plan's limits.
Your first team is free. Forever.
Set it up in five minutes tonight; share the code at practice tomorrow.
