See the player, not just the stats. Courtside IQ turns the games you watch from the stands into a clear picture of how your young player is developing. Track a game with one hand, and get warm, plain-language insights about what clicked and what to work on next. Growth IQ One number for how your player is developing: how they score, create, and defend for their age, plus how much they are improving game to game. Improvement counts for real, so a player who keeps working sees it climb. It is never a ranking against other kids. A development story, not a box score After every few games, Courtside IQ writes your player's development story: what's working, where the room to grow is, and the one concrete thing to watch for in their next game. A live tracker built for the stands Log shots, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks with one hand while the game is moving. No signal in the gym? Track anyway. The game saves and syncs when you are back online. Every game, decoded Each game you log gets its own insight: what your player did well, connected to how it helps them grow, never just numbers. Courtside IQ is built for parents of players ages 8 to 18. It is a development tool, not a stat tracker: every rating is measured against your player's own age group, and every level is a real place to grow from. Start free with one player and three games. Go Premium for unlimited games, up to three players, and Growth IQ all season. Terms of Use: https://www.courtsideiq.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://www.courtsideiq.app/policy
