We place them ourselves
Add your teams, assign a coach to each, and move players onto rosters from one page.
Teams, tryouts and draft night
From registration to rosters, with a live draft night built in.
Once families have registered, put kids on teams the way your club already works: place them yourself, run tryouts for a specific team, or hold a draft where coaches pick from their phones. Then publish rosters, and every family hears their player's team and coach.
Three ways onto a team
Pick the way your club builds teams
You choose one during setup, with one plain question: how do kids get onto teams?
They try out for a team
For travel ball: players try out for a specific team, you mark who made it, and the families you select get a single-use invite to register and pay.
Coaches draft teams
For community leagues: everyone registers into a group first, then coaches draft the teams live, or you auto-draft.
Draft night
One live board, on every coach's phone
Pick from a phone, or call it out
Coaches make their picks in turn from their own phones. An admin can also enter a pick for any team while coaches call them out in the room. Both can happen in the same draft.
Everyone sees the same board
Each pick shows up on every screen as it is made. Admins set the pick order (snake or straight), pause the draft, and undo the last pick.
Auto-draft by a rule you choose
Auto-draft the rest at any point: by school, by area, keeping siblings together, balancing by age, by tryout ratings, or at random. An admin can move anyone afterwards.
What coaches see
Only the group they coach. Name, age, school, a sibling flag and the notes your club chooses to share. Never payment information.
Tryouts
Tryout ratings, entered on a phone
At tryouts, coaches rate each player from 1 to 5 on a few skills your club chooses, right on their phones. Ratings are seen only by your directors and the coaches of that group. Families never see them.
On draft night, the ratings can feed the auto-draft, so teams come out balanced by skill as well as by size.
Rosters
From registration to rosters
-
Families register into groups
Open registration by grade or age, paid up front, in one checkout.
-
Place, try out or draft
Build teams by hand, from tryouts, or on draft night, then review and adjust.
-
Publish rosters
Rosters stay private until you publish. Then each family is emailed their player's team and coach, once. Change a roster later and only the families affected hear again.
Through the season
Coaches, families and the whole club in view
Coach roster and emergency card
Each coach sees only their own team, on a page that loads fast on a phone: every parent's number with tap to call or email, the emergency contact, and the medical notes families share. Coaches can't download or export it.
Messaging families
Email a team or any filtered group from League, sent in your club's name. Replies go to the sender's own inbox. Coaches message only their own team, and every message is logged for your admins.
The People view
The whole club on one page, filtered by season, group, team, coach, payment status, waivers or scholarship. Message the filtered list, or download it if you are an admin.
Also built, and what's next
Camps, clinics and tryouts, uniforms in checkout and the Bougie Print team store are built too; Bougie Print orders connect at launch. So are treasurer reports, waitlists, volunteer shifts, coach checks and a parent and coach app with push notifications (see the app). The Bougie League app for iPhone and Android: coming soon to the App Store and Google Play. Until then, families and coaches add it to their phone’s home screen from the browser. Year-end donation receipts are coming soon.
