PlayMaker Roster is built around one idea: the player. Their history, development, and record follow them season after season — coach to coach, club to club. Every tool in the platform exists to serve that player record.
You're great at developing athletes. But between registration paperwork, tracking class enrollment, managing events, and figuring out who belongs to which program — the admin work is out of control.
Families already registered with their club. Now you're asking them to fill out all the same info again just to join your training program.
Roster in one sheet. Class enrollment in another. Payments tracked in a third. Nothing talks to anything else and everything is always out of date.
A player switches clubs. Gets a new coach. Moves up an age group. Every note, evaluation, and attendance record from the last three years disappears with them. The new coach starts from zero — every single time.
Scheduling sessions, tracking who's coming, following up on no-shows, collecting payment — all done manually across texts and email threads.
Families don't know what sessions their kid is enrolled in, when they're coming up, or what they've already paid for. You're the answering service.
Generic sports apps are built for leagues, not academies. You end up hacking around features that were never designed for how you actually operate.
Everything you need to run your club's player operations — from first registration through active enrollment and event management.
One shared player pool across your club and all affiliated training programs. Players register once — your roster is always current, always complete.
LiveAssign a player to a club team or enroll them in a training class in one tap. Every coach sees the full picture — team, class, status, and history — from a single player record, regardless of which org they're viewing from.
LiveTrack each player from registration through offer accepted with a visual status timeline. Know exactly where every prospect stands at a glance.
LiveSchedule events for a specific team or an open training session — each with RSVP tracking, attendance marking, and automatic parent notifications. Know who's confirmed, who's skipping, and who still hasn't responded.
LiveOne login manages your club roster and your training programs. Switch orgs instantly — the roster, teams, and classes update automatically.
LiveEvery note you write follows the player — season after season, program after program. Build a longitudinal record of development, injury history, and recruiting interest that lives with the athlete, not the spreadsheet.
LiveFamilies register their athlete directly from their phone with no app download needed. Information flows into your roster automatically.
LiveWorks on every device, loads instantly, and works offline. Coaches can pull up any player's full profile from the dugout in under two seconds.
LiveAdmins, directors, and coaches each see exactly what they need — and nothing they don't. Sensitive player data stays inside your staff.
LiveEvery team generates a live webcal subscription link. Parents add it to Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, or any calendar app once — and every new event appears automatically. No app, no manual updates, always current.
LiveFind any player in seconds. Filter by age group, position, status, team, or city — or just start typing a name. No waiting, no page reloads, no scrolling through 200 rows.
LiveSend offers, track acceptances, and rescind if needed — all from the player card. Every status change is timestamped so you always know exactly where each athlete stands.
LiveParents get a dedicated dashboard showing every upcoming event for their athlete — with one-tap RSVP. Events that need a response surface at the top. No app download, no login confusion.
LiveSend a custom message to your entire team — or select specific players — directly from the roster. Every send is logged with a message history so you always know what went out and when.
LiveCreate five sessions on a Tuesday afternoon, open registration, and walk away. Within 30 minutes, every parent on the team gets one email — all five events, cleanly batched. Not five separate blasts. For open training events, the platform automatically determines which players are eligible based on age group and experience tier, and sends only to them. No lists to build, no emails to compose, no one left out — and no one spammed.
LiveMark attendance directly from the event view. See who showed, who no-showed, and who hasn't RSVPed yet — all in one place. Every mark is timestamped and tied to the player's history.
LiveWhen Diamond Edge Academy partners with a club on PlayMaker, their players are already in the system. Families don't fill out a second form. You don't maintain a second spreadsheet. The player's club team, status, and training class enrollment all live in one place.
From the club roster you see a player's team assignment. Open the same player through the training org and you also see their class enrollment. Same profile, full context, either way in.
Most sports platforms are built around seasons. When a season closes, everything closes with it. PlayMaker is built around the player — and the player never expires.
The season closes. The club opens a new one. Coaches re-invite the team. Parents get another email, accept again, fill out the same information again. Nothing carries over — not notes, not history, not context. Every season is year zero.
The player stands alone. Their record doesn't belong to a season or a team — it exists permanently in the system. When tryouts open next season, a parent isn't registering again. They're signing up for the next tryout. The player is already there.
If you're running a small training operation, most software sends a quiet message: you're not who we built this for. The pricing page has a "Contact Sales" button. The feature list is full of things you don't need. The setup takes a weekend. PlayMaker is different — a coach with 12 players and a batting cage gets the exact same tools as a club with 200. No stripped-down tier, no "upgrade to unlock," no learning curve that requires an IT department.
You're the coach, the scheduler, the billing department, and the parent communicator — all in the same afternoon. PlayMaker handles the admin so you can focus on the field. Player records, event scheduling, RSVP tracking, and parent emails work automatically. You don't need a staff. You just need a phone.
Pitching coaches. Catching instructors. Hitting academies. You're not running a one-and-done tournament — you're building long-term relationships with players who come back season after season. PlayMaker keeps their full history with you: attendance, notes, development, contact info. The relationship doesn't reset when the calendar flips.
The competition processes your payments and takes a cut of every transaction — on top of standard card fees. PlayMaker tracks who's paid. You collect however you already collect: Venmo, Zelle, Square, cash. No middleman, no markup. If you want online payment links, bring your own Stripe account. We never touch the transaction.
The vision: a trainer meets a player and asks "are you on PlayMaker?" The player says yes. That's it — no intake form, no five-day text thread about availability, location, pricing, or what days work. The player's profile is already there. The trainer sends an invite, the parent sees the schedule, the session is booked. PlayMaker is being built so that every player in the network is instantly accessible to every coach who works with them.
These aren't features we might build someday. This is the logical next layer of a platform that already works — prioritized around what academies asked for first.
Collect session and class fees in-app with payment status tracked per player per event. No more chasing families through Venmo and text.
Automatic reminder emails go out 48 hours before an event to any player still showing as pending. Fewer no-shows, zero manual follow-up.
Families receive an automatic confirmation when they register their athlete. Sets expectations upfront so coaches field fewer "did you get my form?" texts.
Cap your classes at a max enrollment. Families join a waitlist automatically. Get notified when a spot opens, fill it in one tap.
Cancel an event and every affected family is notified immediately — no group texts, no missed messages. One action, everyone informed.
After each event closes, coaches receive an automatic summary: who attended, who no-showed, and who still hasn't responded. Your recap is already waiting.
PlayMaker's ecosystem captures years of data — attendance patterns, event history, coach notes, tier progression, and development milestones. The next layer is AI that synthesizes all of it into a professional player narrative: a living development story a coach can share with a parent, a recruiter, or a future program. No hours of report writing. The data is already there.
A trainer meets a player and asks "are you on PlayMaker?" When the player says yes, the trainer can look them up, send a class invite, and have them on the schedule — no registration form, no intake questionnaire. One network, instant connection between any coach and any player already in the system.
Export a player's complete profile — age group, positions, performance tier, development history — formatted for college coaches and scouts. Built on the same permanent player record that's been accumulating data since day one.
Each partner organization gets their own URL, their own branded experience, and their own fully isolated data environment — all on one platform. Whether you're a single academy or a network of ten, every location runs the same system, the same way.

The competition processes your payments and keeps a percentage of every transaction — on top of standard card fees. For a 30-player program at $200/player, that's real money leaving your program every season, permanently.
PlayMaker will track who paid. You collect however you already collect — Venmo, Zelle, Square, cash. No middleman, no markup. If you want online payment links, bring your own account. We never touch the money. (coming soon)
