Bravara is the app coaches use to run their team's season. Chat, schedule, player development and game day are in one place, for any sport. TEAM CHAT An announcements channel that only coaches post in, so the important message doesn't get buried. Replies go in threads. Parents choose what notifies them, like mentions only. CALENDAR AND RSVPS See the season in a month view. Open any game or practice to RSVP, get directions, or record video. Coaches see who's coming. TASKS AND SIGN-UPS Send families the things you need from them, like snack sign-ups, jersey sizes and photo orders, and see what's done. PLAYER DEVELOPMENT Assign drills with video that players do at home. Softball IQ and Basketball IQ teach players where to be on a 3D field or court. SCORE AND STREAM (BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL) Score games pitch by pitch, by tap or by voice. Families follow the live game view, and you get a box score and stats when it ends. Stream the game from a phone. BASKETBALL PLAYS Draw a play with your finger, watch it run step by step, and share it with your team. TRYOUTS AND DRAFTS Rate players at evaluations and build teams from the results. Evaluation, draft, and season tools require access through a participating Bravara league. The league purchases its Bravara plan separately; there is no purchase option for that plan in this app. Softball IQ and Basketball IQ team training are optional. Unlocking all plays, weekly lessons, and the team leaderboard requires a separate in-app subscription. A sample play is available without a subscription.
