Explore the family portalWhy SportHQ
Made for volunteer coaches with a day job
Most coaches in Australia and New Zealand are parents and volunteers, whatever the sport. They plan sessions after work, manage the bench without an assistant and answer messages from three different group chats. SportHQ puts all of it in one place.
- First gamesFun first. Short drills and modified rules for under 8s and 10s.
- JuniorsU10 to U18 domestic and rep teams.
- SeniorsClub and association competitions under your own rules.
- MastersSocial and masters teams, with less admin.
“What are we doing at training tonight?”
A week-by-week programme with every session planned out. Each drill has a diagram, coaching cues and easier and harder versions, so you can run it on the night without a whiteboard.
Fair game time for every player
Junior games move fast, and parents notice who sat out. The game board tracks every player's minutes and time on the bench, and it reminds you when a planned sub is due.
Messages scattered everywhere
Game times, who's available, lifts to away games and Best & Fairest votes all live in one parent portal. You stop chasing replies by text.
No signal at the ground
Plenty of stadiums are concrete boxes and plenty of fields are out of range. SportHQ saves everything on your iPad first, so the scoreboard, the clock and your plans never wait for the internet.
Every association plays different rules
Halves, thirds or quarters, running or stop clock, rolling subs or set changes. Each sport pack starts with presets for its grades, and you can change anything to match your association's by-laws.
A culture that's yours
Effort points, awards, team standards and Best & Fairest rules are yours to name and shape. SportHQ fits the way your club already does things.
Features
A better season, on and off the court.
From setting up the club to the final whistle, keep the work connected.
Club office
Give your organisers a home base.
A club needs a view across its teams. SportHQ gives coordinators and committee members a dedicated office, with access shaped by their role.
- Create teams and assign coaches and managers
- Manage player rosters, guardian contacts and photo, filming and public-media consent
- See upcoming games, availability responses and missing contact or consent details
- Organise fixtures and share club announcements
- Link independently run teams to a club through an approval process
The club office needs internet. Private coaching notes, medical information and skills tests stay outside the office.

Training plans & drill guides
Every drill, step by step, on a real court
Shown for basketball, live now
Start from a ready-made programme or import your own. Each session tells you what to run, and every drill opens a guide with an animated diagram, what to say and what to watch for.
- More than 130 basketball drills, each tagged with the ages it suits, from under 8s to open age
- Animated diagrams that step through the drill, showing passes, cuts and shots
- Week plans with a mantra, team-connect games and fun fitness
- Run a session with a timer, then log skills tests to track progress
- Edit any guide or write your own. Your changes stay with your team.

Live game board
The bench, the clock and the score in one screen
Built for basketball, available now.
Drag players onto the court, tap to score, and make subs from the bench. The board keeps a log of every event, so minutes, fouls and timeouts are always right, even if you undo a mistake.
- Minutes and time on the bench for every player, worked out from the game log
- Plan your rotation before tip-off and get a reminder when each sub is due
- Team fouls, personal fouls and timeouts counted against your competition's rules
- Offensive and defensive sets, matchups and scouting notes on opponents
- The screen stays awake, and the clock keeps time even if the iPad sleeps

Fixtures & game rules
Your season at a glance, under your association's rules
Basketball presets shown
Build the season fixture round by round, paste it in from your association, or add byes. Each game carries its own rules, so the clock, timeouts and fouls behave like your competition does.
- FIBA 4 × 10, stop clock
- Junior domestic 2 × 20 or 4 × 10, running clock
- Aussie Hoops / under 10 4 × 8, running clock
- Social / masters 2 × 20, running clock
- Schools 4 × 8, running clock
Presets are a starting point. Rules vary between associations and grades, so you can change any of them.
Family portal
Parents get answers without messaging you
Parents open a simple portal on their phone, through an invite or an approved join request. They don't need an app store download or a password.
- Availability: playing, away or unsure for every game, so you know your squad before game day
- Best & Fairest: 3-2-1 votes after each game, with your club's own rules and an optional leaderboard
- Team chat and announcements for staff and parents, plus the fixture and training times
- Progress: skills-test results and the notes you choose to share with that player
AI coach (optional)
A second opinion that knows your team
Ask for a game plan, a session tailored to who turned up, or ideas for a player who's lost confidence. The AI coach reads your notes, minutes and stats, so its answers fit your team instead of generic advice.
AI is optional, with availability depending on your plan or a provider you connect. When you use it, it gets first names or jersey numbers, positions, stats and notes, and never photos or surnames. You can also send jersey numbers only.
Only six players tonight and two are new. Can you rework this week's session for us?
Here's a 60-minute plan for six with the same theme. Swap the 5-out shell for 3v3 half court and pair each new player with a confident one…
We play Demo Rivals on Friday. Their #11 drives left every time. How should we set up our defence?

Offline courtside
No signal? It still works.
Add SportHQ to your iPad's Home Screen and it opens like an app. Everything is saved on the device first and syncs in the background when you're back online. If two coaches change the same thing, the latest change wins.
- The game board, clock, training plans and drill guides all work without internet
- The whole coaching staff stays in sync once you're back online
- Back up to Files or iCloud Drive at any time
- The Midnight and Daylight themes suit both a dim stadium and a sunny outdoor field
Safety & privacy
Built for junior clubs from day one
Explore privacy, security and your choices →
Junior teams mean children's names, photos and progress notes. SportHQ keeps that information inside the team and enforces those limits on the server, not only by hiding a button in the app.
Access for every role
Members join by invite or a join code approved by the team or club. Coaches use the coaching app; club admins use the office. Managers can have coaching or organising access. Parents and players use the portal.
No adult–child direct messages
There are no private direct messages. Team chat is for staff and parents. Player chat access is off by default; clubs or teams can enable reading or posting.
Parents see only their own child
A parent sees their own child's progress, and only the notes a coach marks as shared. Notes about other players stay with the staff.
Photos and clips stay in the team
Photo access follows roles and family consent, including in the club office and portal. Video clips upload only when a coach chooses to, and they play through short-lived links that expire. Nothing has a public link.
No ads, no trackers
SportHQ doesn’t use advertising or analytics trackers. Team data is processed to run the service, with access controlled by role.
Sign out and wipe
Signing out clears the portal and chat from the device. On a shared iPad, staff can sign out and remove the team's data from that device.
Exactly what leaves your device

FAQ
Questions clubs and coaches ask
What does it cost?
Available plans and pricing are shown in your account. Check the plan details before subscribing; access, AI and video storage depend on your plan.
Which devices does it work on?
It's designed for the iPad, in landscape or portrait, and it also runs in any current browser on a laptop, an Android tablet or a phone. On an iPad, add it to the Home Screen and it opens full screen, like an app. Parents use the portal on their phone.
Does it really work without internet?
Yes. Training plans, drill guides, the game board and the clock all run from the iPad. Changes sync to the rest of your staff when you're back online. The club office, family portal, AI coach, team chat and YouTube videos need a connection, and the app tells you clearly when you're offline.
Will it match my association's rules?
Each sport comes with presets for its common grades. For basketball that's FIBA, junior domestic, Aussie Hoops, social and masters, and schools. Then adjust the period length, clock, timeouts and foul limits. Each game keeps its own rules.
Is it only for junior teams?
No. Drill guides are tagged by age, from first games to open age, and the rules cover senior and masters competitions. Leave the parent portal off if your team doesn't need it.
Can more than one coach use the same team?
Yes. The head coach invites assistant coaches and a team manager, and each of them gets the full app on their own device. Parents and players are invited separately and only see the portal. One account can also run several teams.
Do I have to use the AI coach?
No. It’s optional; availability depends on your plan or a provider you connect. Everything else works without it. If you do use it, it never receives photos or surnames, and you can limit it to jersey numbers only.
Can I bring my own training programme?
Yes. Import a programme written as a simple document, week by week, and SportHQ turns it into sessions with linked drill guides. You can edit any of it as the season goes on.
Can I use SportHQ without a club?
Yes. A coach or manager can create a team and use the coaching app independently. Link it to a club later through an approval process, and choose what the club can see. Club organisers can create a club office separately.
Does it handle player registrations and club fees?
Today the club office manages rosters, contacts, consent and fixtures. Online player registration, membership-fee collection and competition ladders are future work.
Which sports does it support?
Basketball is available now. Netball, football, hockey and volleyball are planned; release dates haven’t been announced. Teams, families, availability, chat and voting work the same in every sport; each sport adds its own positions, rules, drills and game board. Pick your sport when you join the waitlist and we'll tell you when it opens.
