Film the rep. Coach the frame.
Watch them get better.
Skipper is video coaching for the work between practices. A player films a rep at home on the phone they already have. You go through it frame by frame, mark the moment, and tell them what to change. You send the drill in the first place, and the numbers you measure build into a line the family can see.
What happens to a clip
These are videos of children, so the rules are strict and they are built into the app, not left to a setting someone has to remember.
A parent says yes first
For a player under 18, nothing is recorded or uploaded until a parent or guardian turns video on. They can turn it off again, and their child's clips are deleted.
Location is stripped
The location a phone writes into a video is removed before the clip leaves it. A clip that still carries one is refused.
Coach and family only
The player, their family and the coaches on their team. Never other families and never the public, and there is no share button.
Kept for a limited time
A clip is deleted after 90 days, or a year after a coach reviews it on the Team plan. A family can delete any clip sooner.
Right now the work between practices runs on this.
- A swing video sent to someone's personal phone.
- A drill you described at the end of practice.
- A text a week later asking whether they did it.
- A note about their footwork that nobody can find in March.
- And a sprint time written on the back of a lineup card.
None of it adds up to an answer to the one question a family asks: is my kid getting better? Skipper keeps all of it in one place, so the answer is a line on a chart.
One loop, four steps
Everything in Skipper hangs off this. The coach and the family see the same record, so nobody has to ask how it went.
Send the work, not a paragraph
Pick a drill, say how many reps and by when, and add the one sentence you would have said at the fence. It lands on the player's home screen, and their family sees it too.
- One player, or the whole team at once
- A drill library for every sport, plus your own drills
- Ask for a video of the rep when you want to see it

Reps at home, filmed on the phone
they already have
The kids who get better are the ones putting in reps in the driveway. Skipper tells them exactly what to do, and gives them a reason to come back tomorrow.
- Drills picked for their position, most doable alone or with one parent
- Film the rep in the app and send it with the work
- A rep counts once a coach or parent signs it off
- A streak for training on back-to-back days, and badges for the work
Feedback on the exact frame
where it went wrong
Clips wait in one queue. Step through a frame at a time, slow it to half or quarter speed, and draw on the moment that matters. The family sees your words when playback reaches that moment.
- Circles, arrows and lines on the paused frame, with a note at that second
- Talk over it instead of typing, on the Team plan
- Sign off the rep in the same step
An illustrative frame. The hitter is not a real person.
Measure it, and watch the line move
Bat speed, a 60-yard dash, free throws out of ten: whatever your sport tests. Record the whole roster in one sheet on testing day, and each player gets their own chart.
- A stopwatch and a tap counter built into the sheet, so the phone in your hand does the timing
- Coach-measured numbers are drawn apart from ones a family typed in
- A timeline of the work, the clips, your notes and every measurement
- Never on a leaderboard. Only the player, their family and their coaches see it
Everything else it does
The rest of running a team, in the same app. The pricing section below shows what each plan includes.
Roster
Every team and age group, season by season. Kids can play up across more than one team.
Schedule and RSVP
Games and practices on one calendar, with a live headcount.
Team messaging
A channel per team that follows the roster. In any conversation with a player in it, that player's parents are in it too, and the database enforces it.
Animated playbook
Draw a play across several frames and watch it run, with the routes and timing visible on any phone.
Practice plans and lineups
Plans built from your drills and reused all season, plus lineups and depth charts for the coaches.
Invite links
Each team has one invite link, and families who use it join the right team with the right role.
Notifications
A push when work, feedback or a message arrives. Quiet hours are respected, and a rainout still gets through.
Installs like an app
Add Skipper to your home screen without an app store. It still opens when the signal is poor.
Assign the first drill before your next practice
No onboarding call. No data migration. No sales engineer.
Create the org
Name it and pick your sport. About a minute, and no card.
Add players, send the link
Put in the roster and drop one invite link in the team chat. Families land on the right team.
Assign the first work
One drill, a rep count and a due date. Ask for a video if you want to see it.
Review and measure
Coach the clips that come back, and record the first measurement. The chart starts there.
No team? Train anyway.
You do not need a club, a coach or an invite code. Make an account and you get the same drill library and the same badges every rostered player gets, and a streak that counts every day you show up.
- Drills you can do on your own, or with one other person
- Ask Skipper when a word or a play makes no sense
- Badges for the work, and a streak for training on back-to-back days
- Join a club later and every rep you logged comes with you
Nobody to ask? Ask Skipper.
Not every kid has someone at home who played. Ask Skipper is a button on every screen that answers the questions a player is too far into the season to want to ask out loud — what the coach sent and how to film it, what a word means, and what to go and work on.
- It is not a chatbot. Every answer is a sentence a coach wrote, out of the same playbook glossary the app uses everywhere else — so it cannot invent one.
- You tap, you do not type. It narrows down from what you are stuck on to the work your coach sent, a word, the idea behind it, or a drill you can go and do right now.
- It works with no signal. The whole thing is already on the phone, so a garage with one bar is the same as the kitchen table.
- "What should I work on?" is built from the questions that player has been getting wrong — named by the idea, not by a percentage.
- Nothing is scored, and none of it reaches a leaderboard. When it has not got the answer, it says so and names a person to ask.
Free on every plan, including for players with no team.
