About

Team Locker

Features
Read full description

Team Locker is the team app your parents will actually use. No accounts. No passwords. No "download this first." A coach creates a team in about thirty seconds, shares one link, and every family taps their own name and is in. WHAT FAMILIES GET • One-tap RSVP — say who's in for Saturday before you pack the car • The whole season: games, practices, times, fields and directions in one place • A live calendar subscription, so a schedule change updates the calendar already on your phone • Team chat with @mentions, to reach one family or all of them • Game-day alerts when the coach posts an announcement, a rainout or a final score • Standings and results, with your team's recent form at a glance • A home-screen widget with a live countdown to kickoff WHAT COACHES GET • A roster you can build in one sitting — one row per family • Attendance you can actually see: who's in, who's out, who hasn't answered • Snack and drink duty, assigned and visible to everyone • Announcements that push to every family at once • Live score entry, and a final-score push when the whistle blows • Standings you paste straight off your league's website • Your team's crest, colors and name — it looks like your team, not a spreadsheet FOR THE PARENT WITH TWO KIDS ON TWO TEAMS Add both teams and switch between them with one tap. Each team remembers your family. FREE, AND NOT A TRIAL Team Locker is free. No subscription, no per-team fee, no upsell, no ads. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No accounts means no email list. There are no ads, no analytics and no trackers — none. The app never asks for your location. It stores what your coach and your team type in, and nothing else. Details: teamlocker.app/privacy Made by a youth soccer coach who got tired of the alternatives.
