How to use Sideline.
Short, plain pages for the two people who use it: the parent watching and the coach clipping. Anything missing, email us.
For parents
Watching, reels, photos, and your account.
For coaches
Setting up the team, clipping film, tagging, and awards.

- Clip filmTurn a full game recording into individual plays without uploading the game, save the clips to your computer, and stitch a highlights reel.
- Tagging clips, play types, and awardsHow coaches tag who is in each clip and hand out awards, and how that builds every player's reel and the awards board.
- Roster, members, and invitationsEntering jersey numbers and names, inviting parents and coaches, resending invitations, and what each role can do.
