Built by a 501(c)(3) Soccer Club

Coaching Tools,
Not Just Admin

Modern club management built by parent coaches who got tired of expensive platforms designed for office work, not the sideline.

Club Software Shouldn't Cost More Than Uniforms

Enterprise platforms charge $9,000–$15,000/year for features most volunteer coaches never use. Then add $4,000+ per camera for video.

Expensive

Per-player fees add up fast. A 200-player club pays $10,000+ annually for features they barely touch.

Built for Admins

Registration and payments, but nothing for game day. Coaches get clunky afterthoughts, not real tools.

Over-Engineered

Features designed for professional academies, not parent coaches running U10 practice after work.

Admin Tools + Coaching Intelligence

Everything Your Club Needs

A few from each part of the platform, grouped by the job they do. The full list lives on Club Admin, Coaching and Schools.

Registration & Payments

Sign up families, collect the paperwork, take the money.

Online Registration

One flow for the whole family — add several children, several programs, one checkout.

  • Rosters build themselves as families register
  • Returning families come back pre-filled — address, emergency contacts, medical, shirt size
  • Half-finished registrations save and resume

Paperwork That Chases Itself

Decide what each stage requires and the platform holds families to it.

  • Waivers with e-signature
  • Document uploads — birth certificates, photos, proof of age
  • Structured medical forms with allergies and alerts
  • Paperwork carries over from tryout to roster spot

Rosters & Scheduling

Who is on the team, and where everyone needs to be.

Rosters & Player Profiles

One directory for the club, scoped so a coach sees their team and an admin sees everything.

  • Import a roster from a spreadsheet, with a dry run before anything is written
  • Grade or age group — whichever your organization actually keeps
  • Positions, photos and squad numbers, editable on the phone

Scheduling

Month, week and day views, plus a field-booking view when you're sharing fields.

  • Events with a field, or just a place and a time
  • Conflict detection when two teams want the same field
  • Duplicate an event instead of retyping it
  • Cancel with a reason, and tell the team

Game Day

The Saturday-morning half of the platform, built for a phone in one hand.

Live Game Tracker

Subs, minutes and goals from the sideline. Parents follow along live.

  • Starts from the game plan you built during the week
  • Move a player between lines without making it a substitution
  • Equal-minutes helper for small-sided youth soccer
  • Track by voice when your hands are full

Formations & Game Plans

Set the shape during the week; walk onto the field with it ready.

  • Nineteen real positions, from 7v7 up to 11v11
  • A default formation saved to the team, not to one device
  • Lineup, bench and notes attached to the fixture
  • Share to the team when you're ready — not before

BYOD Streaming

Stream from a phone or any RTMP camera. No proprietary hardware, no per-player fees.

  • Family who couldn't travel can watch live
  • Game film is watchable minutes after the final whistle, saved starting at kickoff
  • Mark moments during the game, then cut and share two-tap clips off the film afterwards

Coaching & Player Development

The part most club platforms leave out.

Drills & Session Plans

A practice plan in the time it takes to find the car keys.

  • Searchable drill library with diagrams
  • Sessions built for the age group you actually coach
  • A live session runner with timers that advance themselves
  • EdgeBot for the questions you'd otherwise text another coach

Practice Ratings

Green, amber, red on three things, at the end of a session, in under a minute.

  • Effort and attitude, technical skills, soccer IQ
  • Builds a picture of a player over a season, not one bad Tuesday
  • Whether parents see it is your club's decision

Communication

Reaching people, with the safeguarding built in rather than bolted on.

Team Chat

Three channels per team, so the right message reaches the right people.

  • Coaches only, players only, or everyone including parents
  • Nobody joins or leaves — if you're on the team, you're in the chat
  • A channel can span several teams, for a shared bus or a joint session
  • Drop a player from the roster and their messages stay where they were

Safeguarded Messaging

An adult can't quietly open a private channel to a child. That is not a setting you have to remember to switch on.

  • Message a player and their guardians are in the conversation
  • Where there is no guardian on file — normal in a school — the conversation is club-visible, and both people are told so in the thread
  • Player-to-player direct messages are not offered at all
  • Administrators have a screen for reviewing those conversations, and every read is logged

Tournaments & Leagues

Host the event yourself instead of handing it to another platform.

Tournament Hosting

Pool play and single or double-elimination brackets, run end to end.

  • Guest teams from any club, including clubs not on Edge
  • Drag-and-drop field scheduler with conflict detection
  • Referee assignments, cards and suspensions
  • Entry fees, sponsors and awards

Leagues

Season-long competition with the same scheduler, referees and discipline tools.

  • Round-robin scheduling and live standings
  • Points configured how your league actually runs
  • Reschedule by mutual consent — one coach proposes, the other confirms
  • Run as its own league organization, separate from any one club

Running the Organization

The administrative floor everything else stands on.

Turn Off What You Don't Use

Twenty modules, switched on per organization.

  • A school doesn't want registration fees; a rec league doesn't want tryouts
  • Switch a module off and it leaves the menus entirely
  • Nobody navigates a product built for someone else's club

Native Mobile App

iOS and Android, built for standing on a touchline in the rain.

  • Game tracking, streaming, drills, rosters and chat
  • Coaches edit players from the phone
  • Updates arrive without an app-store wait

A Club and a School Are Not the Same Thing

Everything above is common to both. What differs is who holds the account, how a player is described, and how much administrative machinery you want in the way.

Clubs

Youth Soccer Clubs

A parent signs the child up, and pays.

  • The parent holds the account; children sit under it
  • Online registration, fees, payment plans and invoices
  • Tryouts, offers, deposits and team formation
  • Age groups, U-numbers and small-sided formats
  • Rec programs, tournaments, leagues and a public website
  • Players 13 and over can be given their own login
Club Administration
Schools

School & High School Programs

The roster comes from the school, and the athlete is the account.

  • The athlete holds the account; a parent is optional
  • Grade replaces age group everywhere it would appear
  • Import the roster the school already has
  • Coach-to-player messaging, supervised and reviewable
  • No registration fees, tryouts or age-group machinery
School Programs

AI-Powered Tools for Volunteer Coaches

Practice plans in 30 seconds. Season-long curriculum. Live session runner with auto-advancing timers. Built for parents who've never coached before.

  • Age-appropriate for U4–U10
  • 8-week pre-built curriculum per age group
  • Rec AI Coach for instant coaching advice
  • No coaching experience needed

Built by a Parent Coach Who Needed Better Tools

Soccer Edge started when our club faced a choice: pay $12,000/year for PlayMetrics, $16,000/year more for Hudl cameras, or keep juggling spreadsheets and group texts.

As a software engineer and youth coach, I knew we could do better. Not a product to sell — just tools our coaches actually needed.

No venture capital. No growth targets. Just better soccer software, at cost, for nonprofit clubs.

"I built the tools I wished I had when I started coaching. If they help other clubs too, that's even better."
