About

TrackLife

Read full description

TrackLife is the team hub for track and field clubs. Coaches keep the roster, record marks and run practice. Athletes and parents see schedules, results and progress — in one place, on the phone they already carry. Accounts are created by your club, so what you see is your team's, and only your team's. FOR COACHES Coach's Corner — Take roll call, record marks, time reps with a built-in stopwatch and relay splits, and keep practice notes. It all works with no signal at the track and syncs itself when you're back in range. The Season Almanac — Every athlete's marks charted over time, personal records flagged automatically, and improvement per event across the season. Film Room — Put two attempts side by side, line up angles, and mark up video so an athlete can see exactly what to change. The Huddle — Send a note to one athlete or the whole club, run a quick poll, and see who has read it. Front Office — Import a roster, add meets, and control who can see what. FOR ATHLETES AND FAMILIES My Locker — Notes from your coach, polls to answer and clips shared just with you. Winner's Circle — Club leaderboards that celebrate more than fast times: most practices attended, most miles travelled, most improved. Team Timeline — Announcements, photos and video from the club, with reactions and replies. Schedule — Meets and practices with times, locations and sign-up sheets. Progress — Charts that show how far an athlete has come this season, event by event. BUILT FOR HOW CLUBS ACTUALLY WORK • Works with no signal. Roll call, marks and stopwatch sessions save on the phone and sync themselves later, even if the app closes mid-session. • English and Spanish throughout. • Push notifications for announcements, results and messages. • Every club gets its own private address, so one club's data never mixes with another's. • Parents and guardians can review a linked child's data and delete it from inside the app. TrackLife accounts are created by your club. Contact your coach or club administrator to be added. Clubs interested in TrackLife can reach us at support@tracklife.run.
