Log every play from the sideline and walk off the field with the box score done. Built for high school coaching staffs. No clipboard, no spreadsheet, no Saturday morning cleanup. GAME DAY • Tap the formation, the call, the player and the spot. Stats build as you go, on every coach's phone. • Runs, passes, punts, kickoffs, field goals, returns and penalties. Throw a flag and it tells you what happened before you save. • Missed a play or a bad spot? Insert it, move it, or undo it. • No service at the field? Keep logging. It syncs when you're back. AFTER THE GAME • Tidy up this game shows anything that doesn't add up. Tap it and fix it. • Season stats, a postgame report, and a spreadsheet export that matches the screen. • Post the score or the final as a graphic. Full names, last names or no names. SCOUTING AND COACH'S READ • Chart opponent film, or import a breakdown from a spreadsheet. • Coach's Read shows what their scout would write about you, including what you call on 3rd and long. PARENTS AND FANS • Joining a team is free. Live score, play by play and player stats, with notifications. • Fans never see your playbook, your scouting or your tendencies. ONE SUBSCRIPTION, UP TO FIVE TEAMS Your varsity and your JV cost the same as one. Sideline Headset, coach to coach voice for the sideline and the booth, is included. No ads, no usage analytics, and nothing used to track you or your players. Crash reports never carry player names. Annual Team Plan: $50/year after a 14-day free trial, billed to your Apple Account. Renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings.

Scrimmage gives youth and high school football coaches simple, powerful tools to track live stats and share them instantly with parents, players, and assistant coaches — right from the sideline. LIVE PLAY-BY-PLAY STAT TRACKING Log every play as it happens with an easy tap-based play builder built for real football: rushing, passing, tackles, sacks, interceptions, fumbles, kickoffs, punts, and returns. Watch the ball move down an animated field in real time as the scoreboard and stats update instantly, so you're never stuck reconstructing the game from memory after the final whistle. FOLLOW ALONG IN REAL TIME Share a simple invite code with parents, family, and other coaches so they can follow the live scoreboard and stats from their own phone — no spreadsheets, no group texts, no waiting for a recap. Admins log plays and manage the team; everyone else gets a live, read-only view of the action. Share admin duties with up to five coaches on the same team. ROSTER MANAGEMENT Build your team roster with jersey numbers and positions, including multi-position players — tag a kid as QB/WR/DB if that's what they play. Edit anyone's info anytime as your roster changes throughout the season. FULL STAT BREAKDOWNS Every player gets their own stat page, broken down by offense, defense, and special teams, with season totals or single-game detail. Track completions, yards, touchdowns, tackles, sacks, kickoff and punt averages, return yards, and more. TEAM COLORS Give your team its own identity — pick from a set of bold presets or choose any custom color, and it's used throughout the app the moment your team is selected. Built for youth and high school football — because coaches shouldn't need a laptop and a paper scorebook to know what just happened on the field. Scrimmage Base is a $2.99/month auto-renewing subscription that unlocks full access to create and follow teams. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Your subscription automatically renews unless it's turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription anytime in your Apple ID Account Settings.
