Every kid's season, on one page.|

Never. The Fieldhouse is always free for parents, players, and students. Only the organization running the team pays — and only if they want the paid features.

Nope. Sign up on the Family tier and you can immediately add up to eight personal schedules — soccer practice, chess club, music lessons, whatever your kids do. Free, private by default, no organization required. If a coach later invites you to a real team, that team's events show up alongside your personal ones in the same calendar.

Yes. On any game-type event, the coach (or a parent the coach delegated as score-keeper for that game) gets a Game stats card with one row per rostered player and a sport-aware set of number fields — soccer shows goals / assists / shots / saves / cards, basketball shows points / rebounds / assists / steals / blocks / 3-pointers, baseball + softball cover hits / RBIs / home runs / stolen bases plus pitcher fields, volleyball has kills / digs / blocks / aces, hockey has goals / assists / +/- / PIM, football covers passing / rushing / receiving + defense, lacrosse has goals / assists / ground balls / caused turnovers. Save and the box-score lands inline on every parent's event detail screen, plus rolls up into per-sport season totals on each kid's Family-tab season dashboard. Sports without stat tracking yet (chess club, music, dance) hide the card.

No. Tap a kid's name on the Family tab and you get a per-kid season dashboard — every team she's on (school soccer + club basketball + Saturday lacrosse + the personal calendar you keep for tennis lessons) rolled up into one calendar, color-coded by team. Next-up surfaces the three nearest events across all of it, past events tuck behind a disclosure, and you RSVP per kid right from the row. iPhone's Schedule tab gets a kid-filter pill too so you can scope the cross-team view down to one kid in two taps.

We run a full COPPA-compliant consent flow. Parents create the account, grant consent, and manage their child's profile. Children under 13 don't log in directly.

No. We store the things needed to run a team calendar — schedules, locations, RSVPs, and the names parents and coaches provide — and nothing else. We are not an education data platform.

Nowhere. No third-party advertising on this site or web app, no ads in the iPhone app, no ads on any team's calendar page — ever. The only paid placements anywhere in The Fieldhouse are sponsors that the team's admin or coach explicitly approved for that team's own page. Nothing goes live without sign-off, and we don't sell remnant inventory to ad networks.

All of them. The Fieldhouse doesn't care whether you're running soccer, volleyball, chess club, or dodgeball — if it meets on a schedule, we'll keep it.

No — sign up and you're in immediately. We send a verification link to your inbox so you can confirm at your convenience; a banner on the dashboard reminds you until you do. Verifying keeps password-reset and invite emails flowing reliably (some mail providers throttle unverified senders). On iPhone with the app installed, tapping the link opens Fieldhouse directly via Universal Link — no detour through Safari.

Per-team thread for parents, coaches, and opted-in org admins. Co-parents and co-managers join automatically (anyone with manage rights on a kid on the roster); read-only viewers like grandma stay out by design. Sender can edit within 5 minutes; coaches can delete any message. 90-day rolling history (older purges nightly). Push fan-out has a 30-second per-recipient debounce so a coach posting four messages in a row produces one alert + three silent badge bumps, not four buzzes. Long-press anyone's name → identity card explains why you're seeing them ("Coach on Varsity Soccer; you have a kid on the team"); phone and email are intentionally not shown there — they live on the team roster page.

Only if you flip the share toggle on the kid's profile. Default is OFF — coaches can't read either field until you opt in. Even after opting in, coaches read but never edit, and every read is logged so you can see who looked at what (with team + timestamp). Allergies do surface to OTHER parents on the team via the snack-volunteer banner — that's intentional so a parent doesn't bring cookies forgetting another kid's peanut allergy. Emergency contact stays parent-only regardless.

A two-way handshake. Once a coach saves jersey or position once, those fields are coach-locked. To change them, the parent files a request (with an optional note) from the kid's profile; every coach gets a push and can approve or deny. Approval grants the parent a 24-hour edit window — they get a deep-linked push and a countdown banner. Past 24 hours, the lock comes back and a fresh request is needed. Coaches stay free to override anytime and the lock resets; the parent then needs the next handshake.

Several, all parent-controlled. (1) Every photo a parent uploads has GPS, timestamps, and camera metadata stripped server-side before we store it — your kid's headshot doesn't broadcast where it was taken. (2) When someone long-presses your name in team chat, the resulting card explains the exact association ("You're both rostered on Varsity Soccer.") and limits kid mentions to the chat's team only — never your full household. (3) Per-kid toggle to render names as "First L." on the public team page. (4) Per-account toggle to hide your kids entirely from chat identity cards (display name + role still show; kid names don't). (5) Coach reads of allergies or emergency contact are logged — every parent can see who's been looking on the kid's profile page. Defaults are conservative: coach view of allergies + EC is OFF until the parent flips it.

Yes — coaches can import a CSV for their team, and parents can do the same per-kid for a family schedule. One row per event, with date and start time required and end time, type, opponent, location, notes all optional. We fuzzy-match locations against your saved list (so the Tualatin Hills Park you typed last season gets reused, not duplicated), flag rows that look like duplicates of events already on your calendar, and surface anything that didn't quite parse so you can fix it before committing. CSV-only for now — export to CSV from Excel or Google Sheets first. Web has the inline-edit table; iPhone files-picks the CSV and commits the ready rows.

Yes. Every paid sponsor tier includes a promo code field and a click-through link that shows on the team's public calendar page.

Yes — native SwiftUI iPhone app, against the same API as the web. Schedule tab with month + week views, push notifications for event changes and RSVPs, a home-screen widget for the next event, lock-screen Live Activities for live game scores, and an offline-cached calendar so the sideline works without signal. Universal Links open invite + share URLs straight into the app. It's currently in TestFlight beta — email support@thefieldhouse.app from the Apple ID on your iPhone and we'll send you the invite link.

Yes. A parent can mint a household-wide read-only link and hand it to a grandma, aunt, or neighbor — they see every kid's schedule, the widget, and the game-day Live Activity, with no RSVP or edit power. Coaches can also invite a non-roster fan to follow a single team's calendar the same way.

Yes. From the event page a coach can delegate score-keeping to a parent on the roster for one specific game. They get the same Go-live, +/-, and End-game controls a coach has — for that game only.

On any upcoming game or practice — on the iPhone app or the web event page — parents see a Snack Volunteer card and a Carpool card. "I'll bring it" claims snacks (with optional notes for what); the team's coach + every parent who RSVPed Going gets pinged. The Carpool card lets a parent offer a ride — seats, meeting place, departure, optional return trip + car-seat flag + phone — and other parents claim a seat in one tap. Need a ride instead? Post that and any active offer's driver gets pinged immediately. Phones are private until a seat is confirmed, then they're a tap-to-call link.
