1 in 4 junior fast bowlers suffer a serious lumbar bone stress injury (LBSI) — most caused by sudden spikes in bowling workload that could have been caught early. BowlSafe tracks every ball bowled and warns coaches before it happens. BowlSafe is the dedicated bowling load management app for cricket coaches, clubs, schools, and players. Built around the publicly published workload guidelines from Cricket Australia, the ECB, and New Zealand Cricket, BowlSafe takes the guesswork out of managing fast bowler workloads — so you can protect players before injuries happen. LBSI is the most common serious injury in cricket, particularly in junior fast bowlers aged 14–19. BowlSafe alerts coaches the moment a player approaches their safe limit. BUILT ON SCIENCE BowlSafe uses the Acute:Chronic Workload Ratio (ACWR) — the same sports science method used by professional cricket programs worldwide. Every session is tracked with RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion) and duration to calculate Session Load in Arbitrary Units (AU). An 8-week rolling ACWR trend chart shows exactly where each bowler sits — and next week's recommended ball count is calculated automatically. FOR COACHES Squad dashboard — see every player's load status at a glance Instant alerts when players approach weekly or monthly limits ACWR trend charts and average RPE per player Log sessions on behalf of players Set individual limits, injury status, and risk profiles Season planning with target vs actual load charts Export PDF and CSV reports FOR PLAYERS Log sessions with RPE and duration See your weekly and monthly load charts 8-week ACWR trend chart with safe zone highlighted Get next week's recommended ball count View CA, ECB, or NZC guidelines for your age group Connect with your coach by sharing an invite code FOR CLUBS & HIGH PERFORMANCE PROGRAMS Multi-coach, multi-squad organisation dashboard Centralised load reporting across all teams Admin controls for coaches and players Exportable reports for physios, selectors, and parents GUIDELINE SUPPORT Cricket Australia junior pace bowling guidelines (publicly published) England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB) fast bowling directives (publicly published) New Zealand Cricket (NZC) workload guidelines (publicly published) PRICING Free — Individual player tracking, forever free Coach — $19.99/month or $199.99/year Club — $49.99/month or $490/year (up to 15 coaches) High Performance — $149.99/month or $1,499.99/year Subscriptions are purchased and managed through the App Store.
