Built for youth sports · coaches, parents & organizations
The team app for youth sports.
Built for parents of youth athletes — and the coaches who run their teams.
Schedules, RSVPs, rosters, dues and payments, the team feed and a play designer — in one place. Coaches run the team from the sideline; parents always know what's next.
Free to start · No credit card · Parents never pay for the app
Everything a team needs
One app instead of five group chats
The practice time, who's coming, who's paid, the play for Saturday and the announcement about jerseys — all in the same place, on the iPhone app and on the web.
Schedule & calendar
Practices, games and events on one shared calendar — and every family hears the moment something moves.
RSVPs & availability
Parents answer in one tap. Coaches see who is coming before they leave the house.
Dues tracking
Up-front or monthly, per-player plans, due dates — and a clear list of who has paid.
In-app payments
Families pay by card in the app, and the money is paid out to your bank.
Team feed & polls
Announcements and polls in one feed, pinned to the top so the important message doesn't scroll away.
Play Designer
Draw basketball plays with your finger, watch them run, and hand the team a playbook that moves.
Join codes & QR
Share one code or QR. Parents add their own kids — no spreadsheets, no typing names.
Assistant coaches & roles
Unlimited assistant coaches on every plan, each with a ready-made job. On Coach, build your own roles too.
Skills programs
Run drop-in clinics and training groups with their own schedule, roster and fees.
Schedule & RSVPs
Everyone shows up, on time, in the right jersey
Add a practice once and repeat it all season. On Coach and Coach Pro any event can ask for an RSVP: parents answer in one tap, coaches see who's coming, and a reminder goes to anyone who hasn't answered the day before your deadline. Subscribe from Apple or Google Calendar and it lives where your family already looks.
- ✓Repeating practices, games and team events
- ✓RSVPs with a deadline reminder
- ✓Calendar subscription for every family
- ✓Time zones done right for travel teams
Dues & payments
Know who's paid. Get paid without chasing.
Set dues once — up front or monthly — and every family sees exactly what they owe and when. Families pay by card in the app or switch on auto-pay for monthly dues, the money is paid out to your bank, and the row turns Paid on its own. Cash, checks, Venmo or Zelle? Mark them paid in a tap and a receipt goes to the family.
- ✓Up-front or monthly, custom plans per player
- ✓Card payments and auto-pay in the app
- ✓Deposits, late fees and payment requests
- ✓Cash, checks, Venmo and Zelle marked paid in a tap
Play Designer
Draw it with your finger. Watch it run.
A touch play editor built for the sideline, in every basketball team's playbook. Drop players, draw routes, add a defense, then press play and the whole thing animates. Save plays to the team playbook, share them with families, and on Coach and Coach Pro export a PDF or a video.
- ✓Animated replay with defenses
- ✓A playbook on every basketball team
- ✓PDF and video export on paid plans
- ✓Built into the app — nothing extra to download
Team feed & chats
The announcement every family sees
Post it once and every family gets it as a notification on their phone, pinned to the top of the feed. Run a poll for the team dinner. And keep the WhatsApp, GroupMe or Discord your parents already use — link it right beside the schedule so a new family finds it in one tap.
- ✓Announcements, polls, comments and likes
- ✓Link WhatsApp, GroupMe or Discord
- ✓Documents: waivers, packets, hotel lists
- ✓A switch for every notification type

Questions
Asked by every coach on day one
Short answers here; the long ones are on the FAQ page.
Read the full FAQWhat is Team Tether?
Team Tether is a team app for youth sports. Coaches run the schedule, roster, dues and team feed from their phone or the web; parents see every practice, game and payment for each of their kids in one place. It works for teams, skills programs and 1-on-1 coaching.
Is Team Tether free?
Yes. The Free plan covers one team with up to 30 athletes, one skills program, the schedule, join codes, dues and card payments, the team feed, documents, chat links, 1-on-1 sessions, unlimited assistant coaches and the play editor. Coach and Coach Pro add more teams and athletes, RSVPs, attendance, volunteer sign-ups, custom roles and permissions for your staff, more saved plays, play exports, and a smaller share taken from card payments.
Do parents pay anything?
Not for Team Tether itself. The only money a parent sends is the dues and fees their coach sets — by card in the app, or however the coach asks to be paid. If the coach passes the card-processing fee on, it appears at checkout as its own service fee line, and the Pay button always shows the price the coach set.
How do parents join a team?
The coach shares a join code, link or QR code. A parent opens the app, enters the code and adds their child. Coaches can leave joining open, require a password, or approve each request.
Do kids need an account?
Never. A child in Team Tether is a record that their parent or guardian manages. Children have no login, no password and no messages. Team Tether is for adults, 18 and over.
Ready to run the season without the chaos?
