Built for busy sports families juggling multiple kids, multiple teams, and more than one program. FOR PARENTS • One family, one view — add every child to your household profile and see all of their teams, programs, and events together. • Never miss an event — practices, games, and team activities in a clean calendar, with details on time, location, and which coach is running it. • Sync to Google Calendar — link your calendar once and let AOBLAZE events appear alongside the rest of your week. • Register in minutes — browse open programs, complete registration step by step, and confirm your spot without paperwork. • Handle payments in the app — view invoices and payment plans, save a card securely, pay balances, and keep a record of everything you've paid. • Stay in the loop — direct messages with coaches, team-wide chats, and program announcements, all in one inbox. • Manage team invitations — review invites for your children and accept or decline from your phone. • Share the load — add a co-parent so both households see the same schedule and updates. • Multiple organizations — if your family plays across more than one program or site, switch between them without a second account. FOR COACHES • Your day at a glance — a dashboard with upcoming events, team activity, and what needs your attention. • Team rosters — see your teams, open a roster, and pull up any player's details in seconds. • Season schedule — practices and games laid out by date so you always know what's next. • Message your teams — reach a whole team at once or message an individual parent directly. • Payment visibility — see plans and payment status for the families you manage. • Your profile — keep contact details and account settings current from the app. WHY FAMILIES AND CLUBS USE IT • Everything in one place — no more scattered group chats, spreadsheets, and paper forms. • Push notifications for schedule changes and new messages, so updates reach you when they matter. • Works for the whole family — parents, co-parents, and coaches each get the view that fits their role. • Secure card payments powered by Stripe. WHAT YOU NEED AOBLAZE is used together with your organization's account. You'll need an invitation or login from your club, league, or program to get started.
