Explore Everything Sideline Can Do
A unified platform purpose-built for youth sports clubs. Every feature works together, powered by Jock AI intelligence.
Replaces scattered spreadsheets, ad-hoc board reports, guesswork
Club Dashboard
Running a youth sports club means constantly switching between tools just to understand what is happening.
The Club Dashboard brings everything into one structured view. Administrators can see total players, active teams, upcoming events, pending registrations, and evaluation activity without exporting a single spreadsheet.
- Club-wide operational dashboard
- Registration and retention analytics
- Evaluation outcome visualisation
- Custom report generation
Replaces TeamSnap, TeamLinkt, scattered roster files
Team & Roster Management
Rosters are often the first thing to fall out of sync. Coaches keep private lists. Managers update spreadsheets.
Sideline centralizes roster control while keeping it flexible. Import full rosters from CSV, PDF, or Word. Assign coaches and managers. Track player movement across seasons.
- Central roster management
- Player-to-team assignments and transfers
- Coaching staff assignments
- Attendance and participation tracking
- Multi-team player support
Replaces binders, disconnected evaluations, fragmented records
Player Profiles & Development
Most clubs cannot see long-term player progression because evaluation data lives in disconnected documents.
Sideline consolidates everything into a structured, portable player profile. Coaches can review performance trends over time. Administrators can see development patterns across age groups.
- Registration history
- Evaluation scores across sessions
- Guardian and emergency contacts
- Medical and allergy notes
- Address and contact details
Replaces Ramp Interactive, Excel spreadsheets, paper forms
Evaluations & Draft Board
Evaluations often rely on inconsistent scoring systems and paper notes that cannot be compared across sessions.
Sideline provides structured evaluation templates with customizable criteria. Evaluators score players using mobile-friendly scoring cards. Results feed directly into leaderboards and draft boards.
- Custom evaluation rubrics and scoring criteria
- Session-based evaluation workflows
- Historical player progress tracking
- Composite scoring and ranking

Replaces manual reporting, repetitive admin questions, data silos

- Customisable notification preferences
- Urgent alert escalation
- Digest and summary modes
