Captain is the all-in-one team management app built for coaches, players, guardians, fans, and supporters across youth, club, school, college, amateur, recreational, and professional sports. Schedule events, manage your roster, collect RSVPs, coordinate carpools, send messages, scan scorebooks, track stats, share team updates, and keep everyone connected in one place. Built for real teams. Powered by AI that helps coaches save time. — SMART SCHEDULE & RSVPS — Create games, practices, meetings, and custom team events. Add locations, recurring schedules, reminders, and event details so everyone knows where to be and when. Players can RSVP for themselves, and guardians can RSVP for their linked players. Coaches get a clearer view of who is going, who is not, and who still needs to respond. — TEAM MESSAGING DONE RIGHT — Keep team communication in one place with team-wide messages, group chats, and direct messages. Send updates, photos, files, and announcements without juggling endless group texts. Guardians have control over player messaging. They can choose whether messaging is enabled for their linked player and can view player messages when they want extra visibility. — AI WRITING ASSIST — Need to send a team update but only have rough notes? Captain’s AI can help polish messages into clear, professional announcements. Use it for schedule updates, reminders, team broadcasts, and quick notes. — SNAP YOUR SCOREBOOK, GET INSTANT STATS — Stop typing stats one player at a time. Take a photo of your stat sheet or scorebook and Captain’s AI scans it, reads the stats, matches players to your roster, and helps organize everything for you. Review the results, make edits, and save stats back to your team. — CARPOOL COORDINATION — Stop the group-text chaos around rides. Drivers can post available seats for an event, and riders can request or claim a spot. Everyone can see who is driving, who needs a ride, and who is going where. — ROSTER & GUARDIANS — Manage coaches, players, and guardians in one place. Add jersey numbers, positions, emergency contacts, profile photos, and linked guardians. Invite members by code or link, and use coach approval to control who joins the team. — GAME RECORD & PLAYER STATS — Track games, opponents, scores, wins, losses, ties, and player stats. Keep team and player information organized throughout the season so coaches, players, and families can stay informed. — FOLLOW YOUR TEAM WITH FANS — Keep family, friends, alumni, and supporters connected without giving them access to private team information. Coaches can share a follow link that lets fans follow the team’s game schedule, scores, and team updates. Fans can also receive notifications for new games, final scores, and announcements. Fan access is view-only and privacy-first. Fans do not get access to your team roster, private messages, or personal team information. — TEAM HUB — Give your team one central place for key team information. Keep important updates, team details, photos, and shared information easy to find. — BUILT FOR REAL TEAMS — Captain supports light and dark mode and gives teams the tools they need to stay organized without bouncing between texts, spreadsheets, calendars, and separate apps. — PRIVACY & FAMILY CONTROLS — Captain is designed with teams and families in mind. Guardians can be linked to players, coach approval helps control team access, and privacy-focused account flows help teams communicate safely. Fan access is kept separate from private team access, allowing supporters to follow team updates without exposing rosters, messages, or personal information.
