BenchApp
BenchApp helps sports teams manage schedules, rosters, attendance, communication, player stats, and team finances. It is aimed at coaches, captains, commissioners, parents, and players, and supports hockey, soccer, baseball, basketball, football, volleyball, lacrosse, pickleball, golf, and other sports. Teams can collect RSVPs by email or text and set automatic reminders. Communication tools include team, group, and private messages, polls, bulletins, line-ups, photos, and GIF sharing.
