The CoachWatch App has entered its beta testing. Be one of the 1st to give it a try!

Before you read on: you may not have a say. In ECNL, ECRL and GA, the league sets which showcases your team attends, and for those the answer is simple. Before sophomore year (roughly U15), you aren’t taking your child to be recruited; you’re going for the soccer and the experience. From sophomore year on, you play the season to play in the showcases, so yes, go.

If you do have a choice, here’s how to make it. Soccer showcases cost entry fees, hotels, flights and a weekend. So are soccer showcases worth it? Some are worth every dollar. Some aren’t. How do you tell?

Our rule is simple: which coaches attend × whether those schools fit your athlete. It’s the same math as for ID camps, and it keeps the decision about evidence, not hope.

Five questions to ask before you pay

  1. Which colleges came last year, and who is registered this year? Ask the organizer or a team that went, and check the event website about a month out; most post the registered colleges.
  2. At what levels? A showcase full of schools at the wrong level is the wrong showcase.
  3. Will your athlete actually be seen? Number of games, playing time and field assignments matter.
  4. Do the schools on your list attend? A showcase with twenty of your targets beats one with a hundred strangers.
  5. What’s the total cost? Entry, travel, hotel, food. Compare it to the number of coaches you can realistically get in front of.

Don’t pay for the promise

A showcase can promise “coaches in attendance.” That’s not the same as coaches watching your athlete. Be wary of marketing that sounds like a guarantee. No event can promise an offer or a scholarship, and a coach who watches one game hasn’t made a decision (what it means when a coach watches).

How to compare two showcases

Put the two options side by side and answer the five questions for each. Count the schools on your list that attended last year. Add up the real cost, including travel and a hotel. Then divide: how many coaches from your list can you realistically expect to see her play? The showcase with the better answer wins, even if it has the smaller name.

Prepare so the money works harder

If you go, make it count. Have your athlete email her schedule to the coaches on her list one to two weeks ahead (the showcase schedule email), and know how coaches generally watch a weekend (how coaches scout at showcases).

After you go, keep score

Write down who came, how many looks each college took and whether any came back. Over a season, you’ll know which events earned their cost. A list kept from each showcase is the best way to decide next year’s schedule (why “Miami was here” isn’t a coach list, four parents, two per half, one list). Repeat sightings matter most (why a coach’s third look matters).

When to skip one

Skip a showcase when most of the schools on your list don’t attend, when the cost would crowd out an event that fits better, or when your athlete would play very little. It’s fine to say no. A good family decision is one you can explain in two sentences.

Rules about when coaches can talk to families differ by level and date, so don’t pay for a promise of contact. Check the NCAA’s official recruiting page and the governing body for your athlete’s level.

Don’t let one weekend decide anything

Even a good showcase can go badly: an injury, a hard schedule, a quiet coach list. Plan so that no single weekend carries the whole recruiting campaign. One or two well-chosen events, plus the updates your athlete sends in between, usually do more than a pile of expensive weekends.

Ask other parents

The best source on a showcase is a family that went last year. Ask them how many games their athlete played, whether coaches from their list were there, and what they would do differently. Then compare their answers to your five questions.

Keep score at every showcase with the free CoachWatch Android beta.

I’mCommitted.ai, the recruiting app we’re building, is designed to put the whole season in one place, so next year’s schedule is based on evidence, not hope.

The showcase is over. Your car smells like orange slices and wet cleats. This is the best time to write the showcase follow-up email.

A short follow-up, within a few days, helps a coach remember your athlete among everyone they saw.

Three parts, one job

  1. Thank you. For coming, for their time.
  2. One specific moment. Something real from the weekend, such as a goal, a tackle, a switch of play, a comeback in the second half. Specific beats general.
  3. One clear next step. “I’m happy to send video,” or “I’ll be at [event] in November.”

Why it’s the athlete’s job

Coaches want to hear from the player, not the parent. A message in her own voice is more believable. Parents can help find the details and check spelling. The writing is hers.

Sit down with her the day after, while the games are fresh. Ask which coaches she noticed and what she remembers. Then step back and let her write the first draft.

A starting structure (make it yours)

Subject: Thank you, Coach [Last name] — [Name], Class of [Year]

Hi Coach [Last name],

Thank you for coming to watch [Team] at [Showcase]. [One specific moment, in her words.]

I’m very interested in [School] because [real reason]. I’d be happy to send video or answer questions. My next games are [date/place].

Thank you again,
[Name] | [Grad year] | [Club] | [Email]

Don’t copy this word for word. Change the opening, change the moment, and use words she would actually say.

Who to send it to

Coaches who came and fit her list (what to do with the coach list). If a college came for a second or third look (why a coach’s third look matters), write a bit more personally.

If you aren’t sure who came, that’s the problem a shared list solves. One parent taps the college as the coach arrives, and every family gets the list (four parents, two per half, one list).

What not to do

  • Don’t send the same email to everyone
  • Don’t ask where she stands
  • Don’t have a parent write it
  • Don’t send three follow-ups in a week

Then wait

A coach may reply quickly, slowly or not at all. That’s normal, and one quiet inbox isn’t a no. A sighting is a signal, not interest (what it means when a coach watches), and a reply or a call is a different signal again (the five recruiting signals worth tracking).

What a coach can say to a family, and when, depends on the level and the date. Check the NCAA’s official recruiting page before you read anything into a short reply.

Before the next showcase

The same athlete-written habit works in both directions. Send the schedule a week before you go (the showcase schedule email), then follow up after. Two short emails, in her voice, beat one long one from a parent.

A quick example

Say a coach from a school on her list watched the second half of Saturday’s game. Her thank-you is two sentences: one that says she appreciated the coach coming, and one about the moment she remembers, such as the second-half switch of play that set up a goal. Then one line with her next games. That’s it. It reads like her, it took ten minutes, and the coach can answer in one line if they want to.

Keep it short

Five or six sentences is plenty. A coach reading fifty emails after a weekend of games will finish a short, specific note and skim a long one.

Fifty personal emails don’t have to take fifty hours. I’mCommitted.ai, the recruiting app we’re building, learns your athlete’s voice and helps her write each one.

You’re packed, you’re early, and you have four fields to find. A showcase weekend puts your family in shared spaces with other families, other teams and, sometimes, coaches. You can’t know who’s around. So the rule of showcase weekend etiquette is easy: act the way you’d want your athlete to be remembered.

Most of this has nothing to do with recruiting. It’s what a good teammate’s family does anyway.

On the plane or at the airport

  • Be patient at the gate and kind to the people working it. Many coaches from your area will be traveling too and may be watching.
  • Keep team chat private. Don’t talk about other players, coaches or teams where strangers can hear. College coaches work hard to build a good team culture and want players who will add to it.
  • Wear your club gear with pride, and expect to be noticed.

At the hotel

  • Lobby, elevator and breakfast room count. Keep your voice down, clean up your table and tip well.
  • Keep the team’s conversations in the team’s rooms. Hotels are full of other teams and other families.
  • If a coach is in the lobby, a friendly nod is plenty. Let your athlete be the one to follow up (talking to a coach at the game).

On the sideline

  • Cheer for your team, not against the other. Never yell at the referee.
  • Be kind to the other team’s parents. Everyone is nervous.
  • Don’t coach from the fence. Your athlete should be listening to one voice and showing that she knows the game. She also can’t play fast if she is reacting to your coaching.
  • Take your volunteer responsibilities seriously. If it’s your half to watch for coaches, enjoy the other half (four parents, two per half, one list).

On social media

Post the team photo, not the complaint. Don’t tag coaches or schools in a way that puts your athlete on the spot, and don’t write about a referee, a teammate or another family where anyone can read it. If you wouldn’t say it with the team around you, don’t post it.

When things go badly

A loss, a bad call, an injury or a short bench will happen at some point in the weekend. How your family handles it is the part people remember. Take a breath, say something kind, and let your athlete lead the conversation in the car. Save the postmortem for after dinner, or for next week.

What your athlete should see you do

She’s watching you, too. If she sees you thank the volunteer, wave to the other team’s parents and stay calm after a loss, that’s a model worth more than any email. If she sees you chase a coach to the parking lot, that’s the model too. Pick the first one.

Why showcase weekend etiquette matters

Coaches are people. They notice how a family treats the people around them. They’d rather recruit a player whose family is a good fit for the program. It’s one small thing you control, and it costs nothing.

What to do with the rest of the weekend

Once the games are done, the work that matters is hers: a short follow-up email she writes herself, and the first 48 hours after a showcase shows how to sort the list.

What coaches may say or do at a showcase depends on the level and the date. For the rules, check the NCAA’s official recruiting page.

One more thing off your plate. Get the free CoachWatch Android beta, and let the team’s volunteers handle the sideline.

Behave well, play hard, let your athlete write her own emails. That’s the whole job. I’mCommitted.ai, the recruiting app we’re building, handles the rest.

“Is this coach interested, or just being polite?”

Every parent asks it. The honest answer is that you can’t tell from one message, and you can’t tell from one game. You can tell from a pattern. That’s why we track five kinds of signals and read them together.

  1. A personal reply. A message written to your athlete, about her, is among the strongest signals you can get. A form letter or a camp invite sent to hundreds of players is not. One exception: before her contact date, a camp reply to her own email is often the most a coach is allowed to send, so answer it politely and read it as “we got your email.”
  2. A sighting. A coach came to watch. A sighting is a signal, not interest (what it means when a coach watches). One assistant watching a half is a glance. Repeats are a pattern (why a coach’s third look matters).
  3. A call. A phone or video call is a step up from email. Prepare for it, and treat it as one stage-move, not a finish line.
  4. A visit. Unofficial or official, a visit the coach hosts means both sides are spending time and money. It is a clear sign the coach is interested.
  5. Silence. Silence is usually normal. It might mean the class year is too early, the level is wrong, or nobody has seen her play.

How to read them together

One sighting plus silence means keep watching. A sighting, a personal reply and a call mean a coach is moving. No single signal decides anything. And none of them is a promise.

Keep it written down

Families lose track because the signals live in different places: group texts, an inbox, a notes app. Keep one record. CoachWatch tracks showcase sightings for free. I’mCommitted.ai, the recruiting app we’re building, is designed to put all five signals in one place, so you can see where each coach really is, and to share that view with parents, the player and, if you choose, her club coach.

Track sightings with the free CoachWatch Android beta.

Halftime. Your phone buzzes in the team group chat.

“Miami was here.”

Which Miami? Florida or Ohio? Was it a coach or a fan with a clipboard? Was it the head coach or an assistant? Three more texts show up after the whistle. One says “UNC?” and another says “I think the guy in the blue jacket was from Carolina.” Carolina could be North or South.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not behind. Every team already does some version of this. Somebody keeps a notepad, or a note on their phone, or a thread that scrolls off the screen by Tuesday. It’s a kind thing for a parent to do, and for most families it’s the only record they get.

Why it breaks down

  • A school name without a coach’s name doesn’t tell you who to email.
  • A first name isn’t an email address.
  • Handwritten notes live in one parent’s pocket.
  • This weekend’s note can’t be compared with last month’s.

What the list needs to do

A useful coach list tells you the school, the coach, how to reach them, and how many times they’ve come. That’s a short list of facts, and it’s hard to get from a group chat.

What CoachWatch does

CoachWatch keeps what parents already do and fixes the parts that fail:

  • Easier. Tap the coach’s card as they arrive, or the school if you don’t know who it was. No notepad, no typing in the cold.
  • More accurate. You pick the school and the coach from a list, so “Miami” has to be one specific Miami, and one specific coach.
  • Email addresses included. For every coach on our staff lists, the list shows who to write to, not only who showed up.
  • Shared with one tap. After the game, the volunteer sends one list, and every family on the team gets the same one.
  • Free for every team.

Over a season, those lists add up to something a group chat never can: a record of which colleges have actually come to watch your athlete, and how often. Set up the rotation with four parents, two per half, one list, then sort what comes back in the first 48 hours after a showcase.

Get the free CoachWatch Android beta.

CoachWatch tells you who showed up. I’mCommitted.ai, the recruiting app we’re building, keeps that record over time and helps your athlete decide what to do with it.

Nobody wants the job of watching the sideline for coaches, but if your team wants to track college coaches at games, someone has to do it, and the trick is to make it as easy as possible and to share the responsibility.

The parent who takes the job spends the match waiting for a coach to walk up, and misses their own kid’s best moment. That’s why teams either skip it or the same volunteers do each game and even fewer parents volunteer to type up the list and look up the emails. (Ask me how I know)

The fix is simple. Split the duty.

How to track college coaches at games: the rotation

Four volunteers per game. Two per half. Each pair watches for 45 minutes, then goes back to being a parent for the other half. Two per half has the advantage of allowing them to stand at opposing corners and have a view of coaches on two sides.

First halfSecond half
Pair AWatchCheer
Pair BCheerWatch

Tips for the two parents on duty

  • Stand where coaches walk in. Pick a spot where you can see the path or gate they use, not the spot with the best view of the play.
  • Don’t chase. A coach who wants the team flier will find you. Hand it over, note the school and the coach, and step back.
  • Hand off at halftime. Tell the second pair who has already been logged. Everyone on the game code works from the same list, and a coach tapped twice is only logged once.

What if you only have two volunteers?

Each takes a full game. The app works the same way, and the list still arrives for everyone.

How CoachWatch works

A coach arrives. You tap the coach’s card, or pick the school and then the coach. That’s it. The goal is to look up, tap, and get back to the game. After the game you send the link to the rest of the team and download the list.

You know which coaches came immediately: first name, last name (spelled correctly) and, for every coach on our staff lists, their email address in one file. Nobody has to retype a school name or hunt down an email address afterward.

What to do with the list afterward

Without CoachWatch you may have to wait for the list to be shared, play the “Is that Miami of Ohio or Florida” or “Is OU Ohio, Oklahoma or Oregon” game and then look up each coach’s full name and email. With CoachWatch, you have a final list with far fewer mistakes.

A list is a start, not an answer. Some coaches came for your athlete, some came for the other team, and some may have arrived early to see warm-ups for the next game. Your athlete’s message to each coach after the game should depend on whether she wrote to them before the event, whether they had seen her before, or whether this is a first contact. To weigh a sighting against a reply, a call or a visit, read the five recruiting signals worth tracking.

Set it up in a minute

Pick the four names for this weekend’s game, share the rotation in the team chat, and send them the link. Next game, pass the job to four different parents.

The free CoachWatch Android beta is available now. Send it to the parents on your team.

When you are ready to act on the list, that’s what I’mCommitted.ai is for: a marketing plan for every coach and emails written in your athlete’s own voice.

Here’s the real sideline at a showcase.

Twenty-plus fields going at once. A parent holding a coffee, a folding chair and a phone. A whistle every thirty seconds. Somebody’s grandmother shouting. And maybe thirty seconds of attention to spare when a coach walks up.

That’s the design brief for a soccer sideline app. We didn’t build CoachWatch for a quiet desk. We built it for a cold, noisy sideline, where the parent holding the phone is also trying to watch their own kid play.

What we believe a soccer sideline app has to do

  • One or two taps. You tap the coach’s card and you’re done. Anything that takes more than a few seconds loses.
  • A big button. Fat fingers, gloves, bright sun.
  • Almost nothing to type. The coaches expected at the showcase are already on cards. Typing on a sideline never works.
  • Shared. Everyone on the game code works from the same list, and a coach tapped twice is logged once.
  • No pressure. You can add details later or not at all.

Why we split the job between parents

Nobody wants to spend the whole match watching the sideline for coaches, and one person can’t cover all four sides anyway. Split the job and you have two lists to combine. CoachWatch was built so that split is fast, easy and accurate.

What we wanted parents to end up with

A group chat that says “Miami was here” is a kind thing for a parent to send, but it isn’t a list (why “Miami was here” isn’t a coach list). We wanted every family on the team to end up with the same record: the school, the coach and how to reach them, in one file, right after the game.

Why we built CoachWatch

Our founder’s daughter plays D1 soccer at her first-choice school. He helped market her team, ran its Instagram account, and spent countless hours taking photos on the touchline and watching games from a distance. He also traveled as a consultant and used the time to research college recruiting, which is where he learned how much being seen by college coaches matters.

On showcase weekends he spent hours editing photos, typing up the schools and coaches who attended, and looking up coaches’ email addresses so his daughter could follow up. It took hours each trip and caused more stress than it needed to for both of them. CoachWatch is the fix for the list, and the list is a key input for I’mCommitted.ai.

What we’re still learning

A sideline is different at every field. Some have a gate everyone walks through, and some have a parking lot and a hill. Some teams have enough volunteers for a full rotation, and some have two tired parents. We’re building for all of them, and the beta is how we find the cases we missed.

If you’ve tracked coaches at a showcase before, tell us what you wish you’d had. If you haven’t, try it at your next game and tell us where it got in the way. Either note helps.

What happens after the game

Once the final whistle blows, you send the link to the rest of the team and everyone gets the list. From there it’s about what you do with it: the first 48 hours after a showcase shows how to sort it, and what it means when a coach watches keeps a sighting in perspective.

Rules about what coaches can say to families differ by level and date. For those, check the NCAA’s official recruiting page.

Try the free beta and tell us what we missed.

CoachWatch tells you who showed up. I’mCommitted.ai, the recruiting app we’re building, helps your athlete do something about it.

The final whistle blows and your team’s showcase coach list lands in your inbox. Now what?

A list is a start, not an answer. Some of those colleges were there for your athlete. Some were there for someone on the other team. A few stayed ten minutes. The first 48 hours after a showcase are when you turn the list into a plan, while the weekend is still fresh.

Step 1: Sort the showcase coach list into three piles

  • Coaches who came. Colleges your athlete invited that sent a coach to a game. They get a thank-you.
  • New targets. Interesting colleges that came to a game without an invitation. They get an introduction, especially if she had a good game in front of them.
  • Coaches who didn’t come. Invited colleges that didn’t make it. A school might not be recruiting her year yet, or might not have noticed her emails. They get a short recap.

Step 2: Look for repeat sightings

A college that has now seen your athlete twice is worth more attention than one that came once. If you’ve used CoachWatch for a while, you can review the lists. If you haven’t, this is the weekend to start (four parents, two per half, one list shows how).

Many coaches say they want to see an athlete at least three times before deciding, some want one of those to be on campus, and many want more than one member of the staff to see her. One game can be unusually good. Two coaches can read the same player differently. And coaches want to see how she acts when things go well and when they don’t (that’s why a coach’s third look matters).

Step 3: Let your athlete write in her own voice

This is the part that matters most. The follow-up is hers: a thank-you, one specific moment from the weekend, a recap of the results. Parents can sort the list, but coaches want to hear from the player.

Sit down with her while the games are fresh. Ask which coaches she noticed and what she wants to say. She writes the first draft. You check the spelling and the coach’s name. Keep it to three parts: a thank-you, one specific moment from the game, and one clear next step.

Step 4: Don’t over-read it

A sighting is a signal, not a guarantee of interest (see what it means when a coach watches). Keep the first email short and the expectations lower than your hopes. A coach may reply quickly, slowly or not at all, and none of those tells you much on its own. The five recruiting signals worth tracking explains how to read replies, calls, visits and silence together.

Following up with coaches

  1. Day one: Sort the list into the three piles and mark any college that has now come more than once.
  2. Day two: Your athlete writes to the “Coaches who came” pile, one personal email per coach.
  3. The rest of the week: Send introductions to the new targets, and a short recap of the weekend to invited coaches who didn’t make it, with a promise to send the next schedule.

What if the list is short?

A short list is not a bad sign. Some games draw several coaches and some draw none, and a coach can’t be everywhere. Keep playing, keep a record, and send a short update when there’s something real to share: a new schedule, a big win, semester grades.

Rules about when and how coaches can respond to families depend on the level and the date. Before you read anything into a reply, or a lack of one, check the NCAA’s official recruiting page and the governing body for your athlete’s level.

The list comes from CoachWatch. Get the free Android beta.

Sorting a list and writing the right email for each coach takes real time. That’s the work I’mCommitted.ai is built to take off your plate.

Ask most families a simple question: how many times has each college seen your athlete play?

Most can’t answer. Every sighting feels the same, whether a coach drifted by for ten minutes or came back for a second game. But the count is the signal, and the third look from a college coach is the one worth planning around.

What each look tells a coach

  • First look: “Is she worth my time?” Often a coach is working down a long list, or there for someone else.
  • Second look: “Was that real?” Coming back to the same showcase, twice in a weekend, is a good sign. The coach is checking that the first impression wasn’t a lucky game.
  • Third look: “Does she fit us?” By now the coach knows she can play. This look is about fit: a different opponent, a hard half, how she treats her teammates. It is also when a coach is more likely to bring someone else for a second opinion.

In our experience, the third look is where a coach stops screening and starts deciding. My daughter had multiple coaches tell her on the phone that they wanted to see her “again” or a “third” time before offering a visit. Because I had the data I knew who had seen her and how many times… it was almost always a third time or a third coach.

Why the third look matters for your family

A third look is a cue that a coach is interested. Once she is past the date when coaches can talk to her (June 15 after sophomore year for D1 and D2 women’s soccer), it may be the right moment for a personal email from your athlete, asking for a visit or to learn more about the school and program. It’s also the point where silence stops being neutral. If a coach has seen her three times and you’ve heard nothing, that’s worth noticing (see the five recruiting signals worth tracking).

Write the email the way she would say it: where you saw the coach, one moment from the game, and one clear next step.

How to earn repeat looks

  • Invite them to showcases and tournaments, where several coaches see several games in one weekend.
  • Show real interest in the program, and show how she solves a problem for them: speed, goals, a back line that doesn’t concede.
  • Choose ID camps carefully, because a camp is only worth it if the coaches there matter to your list (which showcases are worth the money uses the same math)
  • Send the updates in between: a new schedule, a big win, semester grades (the showcase schedule email)

Three cautions before you count

  1. Check who the coach came to see. A coach at three games may be there for a teammate or the other team’s player. A count only matters if it’s about your athlete.
  2. Check which coach. An assistant visiting three times is different from a head coach visiting once.
  3. Three is a pattern, not a promise. A look is a signal, not an offer. Nobody can promise an offer or a scholarship, and we don’t.

Counting takes a record

A school name in a group text can’t be counted. A list kept across games can. CoachWatch builds that list for free, one game at a time: a parent taps the coach as they arrive, then sends one list, and every family on the team gets the same one. Start with why “Miami was here” isn’t a coach list, then set up a rotation with four parents, two per half, one list.

Once you have the list, the first 48 hours after a showcase shows how to sort it, and what it means when a coach watches keeps a single sighting in perspective.

Where the rules fit in

What a coach can say to a family, and when, depends on the level and the date, so a coach who stays quiet may simply be following the rules. Check the NCAA’s official recruiting page and the governing body for your athlete’s level rather than relying on a group chat.

Start counting. Get the free CoachWatch Android beta.

I’mCommitted.ai, the recruiting app we’re building, is designed to keep those looks together across a whole season, so you can see which coaches are moving from Get Noticed toward Build Relationships.

“Do college coaches go to showcases?”

Many do. But what a coach is doing there isn’t what most parents picture. Here’s how it generally works.

Coaches arrive with a plan

A coach usually comes with a list of players and teams to see, built from earlier video, club contacts, prior events and athletes that have demonstrated their interest in the program. Showcases are efficient because many teams are in one place, so a coach can see a lot of players in a weekend without crossing the country twice.

They can’t see everything

A weekend showcase has many fields and many games. A coach may watch part of one game, then walk to the next. Don’t read much into a short stay. A coach who left at halftime may have been heading to another game on the list, and one who stayed the whole match may have been there for someone else.

What coaches are really looking for at a showcase

  • Level. Can she play here?
  • Fit. Position, style and how she works with teammates
  • Character. How she treats a teammate who makes a mistake, a referee and a coach
  • Consistency. Does she show it again in the next game?

Why the second and third look happen

The first look is usually a screening. It can also take most of a game for a player to catch a coach’s eye, and the flow of the game can flatter or hide her. So coaches go back to confirm what they saw, often with another member of the staff (see why a coach’s third look matters). That’s why one sighting is a glance and a repeat is a pattern.

The problem for families

You can’t know who came unless someone writes it down. Coaches don’t always announce themselves, and the notepad-and-group-text system misses a lot (why “Miami was here” isn’t a coach list). Most families leave a showcase knowing less than they could.

How to find out which coaches came to your showcase

Build a team-wide list. Four volunteers, two per half, tap each coach as they arrive, and every family gets one shared list afterward (four parents, two per half, one list). Then sort it while the weekend is fresh: the first 48 hours after a showcase shows how.

What to do before you go

Check the rules, not the rumors

What a coach is allowed to say to a family at a game depends on the level and the date. Use the NCAA’s official recruiting page and the governing body for your athlete’s level, not a sideline rumor.

What a parent can do on the day

Your athlete’s job at a showcase is to play her game, not to scan the sideline for coaches. A parent’s job is to keep the weekend calm: get to the field early, know where the next game is, and leave the fence to the coaches. If you volunteer for your team’s rotation, you’ll see who came without missing the games that matter.

Find out who came. Get the free CoachWatch Android beta.

Once you know who came, the next step is what to do about it. That’s the work I’mCommitted.ai, the recruiting app we’re building, takes on.
