Walkout Intros

Every great player deserves a great entrance. Walkout Intros turns your team's games into a full stadium show: custom entrance music, AI announcer intros, a pregame show, a victory song, and a tap-to-play soundboard. Whether you're coaching Little League, running a softball squad, managing a rec league, or you just want your kid to hear their name over the speakers when they walk up to the plate, this app makes it happen. No Apple Music subscription required Walkout Intros works with or without an Apple Music subscription. Use the songs already in your library, or search Apple Music's full catalog and play the 30 second preview as your walkout. That's perfect for most intros. Have a subscription? Even better. Drag the trimmer to start the song at the exact moment you want: the riff, the drop, the chorus. AI announcer voices Give every player the big league treatment with custom AI intros. Type the announcement, pick a voice — even a different voice for each team — and get a studio quality walkup call in seconds. "Now batting, number 7…" is ready to play on demand. Run the whole game day Set the scene before first pitch: play your team intro, the national anthem, and a warm-up playlist that shuffles until game time. During the game, tap a player and their announcement rolls into their song — or fire up the soundboard between plays with an air horn, rally sounds, stadium drums, or sounds you import yourself. And when you win? Your victory song is one tap away. Sounds always duck under walkouts, never over them. Built for game day Set your lineup, manage your bench, and sub players in with or without their walkout. Everything is saved to your device after the first play, so intros fire instantly even when the field has spotty service. No DJ required. Teams that last beyond one season Add players, assign numbers and positions, and keep everything organized by team. When the season wraps, archive the team to Past Seasons — every song and intro is kept, and your team slot frees up for the next one. You can even share a whole team — roster, songs, and intros — with another coach. Features • Works without an Apple Music subscription using your library or 30 second Apple Music previews • Custom start times with an Apple Music subscription, trimmed to the song's best moment • AI voice generation for custom announcer intros, with per-team voices • Pregame show: team intro, national anthem, and warm-up playlist • Victory song and stadium soundboard — or import your own sounds • Game Day mode with lineup, bench, silent subs, and instant playback • Play the announcement and song, announcement only, or song only — your call per team • Past Seasons archive and roster copying between seasons • Share complete teams with other coaches • Works offline once intros are downloaded • Available in English, Spanish, and Japanese • Works great for baseball, softball, basketball, wrestling, and any sport with player intros Free to start, Pro for the full production Start free with one team and your whole roster — every player gets a song and an announcer intro, and three players are announced per game. Walkout Intros Pro announces your full roster and unlocks unlimited teams, every announcer voice, the full pregame show, the victory song, and your own imported sounds. Go Pro with a Season Pass — one payment for four months that never renews — or subscribe monthly or yearly with a 7 day free trial. Subscriptions auto renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings. Perfect for Coaches, team managers, parents, sideline announcers, rec league organizers, and anyone who wants to turn an ordinary at bat into a moment worth remembering.
