OnStrip is designed for one thing: making strip coaching at fencing tournaments easier for both coaches and athletes. At tournaments, coaches often need to track several fencers spread across different strips. Without a system, that usually means constant calls and texts, or sprinting between bouts without knowing who’s fencing next. OnStrip solves this by creating a shared hub for your fencing club, so the entire team stays connected. How It Works: -Team Creation: Create a team, get a unique join code, and share it with your club. Anyone who joins can instantly see and update statuses. -Group Screen (for coaches): Coaches get a clear overview of every fencer. Tap to update their status, or hold to assign a strip number. With one glance, you’ll know exactly who’s fencing and where to go next. -Status Screen (for fencers): Fencers get a simplified page focused only on themselves. They can update their status quickly without distractions, freeing them to focus on their bout instead of messaging updates. Why OnStrip? -Purpose-built for strip coaching at fencing tournaments -Coaches always know where to be, without missing bouts -Athletes stay focused — no calls, no texts, no distractions -Teams stay organized, even with multiple strips in play OnStrip makes strip coaching smoother, faster, and more effective. Coaches can spend more time supporting their athletes, and athletes can concentrate on fencing. No more confusion. No more wasted time. Just better coaching, better communication, and better results at tournaments.
