A School Team Is Not a Small Club

The roster comes from the athletic department, the players hold their own accounts, and nobody is collecting a registration fee. Soccer Edge has a school mode built for exactly that.

What Changes for a School Program

The coaching and game-day tools are the same ones every club gets. These are the parts built for a school.

The Athlete Holds the Account

Most school rosters arrive with no parent on file, so the athlete holds the account and a guardian is optional. Add one later and they slot in without rebuilding the player.

Grade, Not Age Group

School teams run on grade, not birth year. Grade carries through rosters, team sheets, profiles and printed handouts — no empty age-group field beside every player.

Import the List You Already Have

Athletic departments hand out spreadsheets. Bring one straight in, with a template to match and a dry run before anything is written. Missing squad numbers and blank positions are fine.

Messaging a Minor, Supervised

A coach needs to tell a keeper which bus to be on. Messaging a player pulls in their guardians; where a school has none on file, the thread is visible to administrators instead — and both people are told so before anyone writes.

Only the Parts You Need

No registration fees, no tryout stations, no season-availability grid unless you want them. Every part of the platform is a module — switch one off and it leaves the menus entirely.

Sideline-Only Mode

Some state associations allow video review at the bench but not streaming to spectators. Sideline-only mode keeps the camera and film for staff and turns off the public feed — set once at the org level, so no single game can switch it back on. The public score page holds the score and clock until the final whistle.

Coach and Player Can Talk, On the Record

Blocking these messages outright does not stop the conversation. It moves it to a personal phone, where nobody can see it and no record exists.

So supervision here means the school can see the room rather than a parent is in the room. Disclosed, recorded, and both people know it.

  • A guardian on file is added to the conversation instead
  • A notice appears in the thread before either person writes
  • Administrators can review them — other coaches cannot
  • Every review is logged; reading a child's messages leaves a trace
  • Player-to-player direct messages are not offered at all

Everything Else Is the Full Platform

The same coaching, game-day and communication tools every club runs.

Game Day

Live tracker with positions on the field, game plans built during the week, streaming from a phone or an RTMP camera, season stats and awards.

Training

Drill library, session planning, practice ratings on effort, technical skill and soccer IQ, and a development picture that builds over a season.

Scheduling

Month, week and day views, events with a location rather than a club field, attendance, and sync from a calendar feed the athletic department already publishes.

Team Chat

A coaches channel, a players channel, and one that includes parents where there are any. Membership follows the roster, so nobody has to be invited or chased.

Paper for the Touchline

Practice sheets with the squad and ruled notes, parent handouts with faces and names, player cards for a check-in table. Printed as clean documents.

Mobile App

iOS and Android. Track a game, edit a player, check a roster or answer the team chat from the touchline, without going back to a laptop.
