HELIX Netball Stats

Features

HELIX records netball match statistics, courtside, in two taps. Built by a netball parent for the person who keeps the team's record - the volunteer, coach or manager with a phone in one hand and a game to watch. It replaces the clipboard, the notes-app tally, and the half-remembered match. HOW IT WORKS Tap a position, tap what happened - a goal, a miss, a turnover, a penalty, an intercept or a rebound. Either order. That's the whole interaction, and it never changes, so it's in your thumbs by the second quarter. The match clock, the score and undo stay on screen the whole time. READY WHEN THE WHISTLE GOES Your stats are there the moment the game ends: shooting percentages, gains and losses by position, a breakdown by period, and a full match timeline you can export as a PDF and share. PLAYERS, IF YOU WANT THEM Add your squad and put them on court, and every stat is attributed to whoever was in that position at the time - substitutions included. Skip it and HELIX records by position alone. Both work. MORE THAN ONE TEAM Keep records for as many teams as you like and reuse the same players across them. BUILT FOR GAME DAY - Two taps per event, in either order - Works fully offline - no signal needed, ever - No account and no setup - open it and record - Keeps your data safe through a flat battery or a crash mid-game - Set the clock to match the venue board whenever they drift apart HELIX keeps everything on your device. Nothing is uploaded. There are no ads and no tracking. Questions or feedback: hello@helixnetball.com
