Giving back
Free tools for youth teams.
The jobs around a youth team fall to the same few volunteers: running the music, planning the tournament trip, raising money for the season. The Sideline team makes free tools for those jobs, because the people doing them are giving their time already.
Free for youth sports teams
Away trips and team dinners, planned together.
Sideline Away plans away tournaments and team dinners with the whole team, free, in any phone browser: private hotel votes, meal pre-orders by jersey number, packing lists by sport and a plan for every family. For any youth sport.
Run every game
Running a game with Sideline DJ is free: the goal horn, the phone's own voice reading every name, and music from your own Apple Music. Every new family's first real game has every name recorded, free. See pricing.
Raise money with nothing to sell
Start a free team fundraising page. For every family who gets the Sideline DJ Pass through it, your team gets $10 of their first Pass, at no extra cost to them.
Free guides for game day.
Why free.
Sideline DJ started in a hockey parent's booth, with one goal and a song that mattered to the kid who scored. The volunteers who keep youth sport running give their evenings and weekends already. Free tools for the jobs around a team are our way of giving some of that time back, and of saying thank you to the families and teams who tell their friends about us.
Sideline DJ and Sideline Away are both part of the Sideline Sports Network. Each works on its own, and keeps its own data.
Questions
Free tools questions.
Is Sideline Away really free?
Yes. Sideline Away is free for youth sports teams and families. It runs in any phone browser, with nothing to install.
What is free in Sideline DJ?
Running every game is free: the game screen, the goal horn, the phone's own voice reading every name, music from your own Apple Music, and TeamSnap. Every new family gets their first team's first real game with every name recorded, free. The Pass adds recorded announcements for every game.
How does team fundraising work?
A team starts a free page and shares it. When someone who runs music for a team gets Sideline DJ through it, Sideline DJ sends the team $10 of their first Pass, at no extra cost to them. There is nothing to sell or deliver.
Who makes these tools?
The Sideline team: the people behind Sideline DJ and Sideline Away, part of the Sideline Sports Network. It started with hockey parents, and the tools are for every youth sport.
