What It Is

Skipper is a management SaaS for youth sports teams and multi-team sports programs, currently marked as Beta on its website. With the tagline “Run Your Program. Not Your Inbox.”, its core goal is to centralize the day-to-day tasks coaches handle—lineups, depth charts, practice plans, and player/parent communication—into a browser-based product. It is suited to scenarios such as youth baseball, travel softball, club basketball, and soccer academies.

Core Capabilities

The product’s features are built around coaching workflows. Lineup Builder supports drag-and-drop creation of batting orders and defensive lineups, with one-click publishing to players. Depth Charts lets coaches maintain depth charts by organization or team and by position; coaches can view full details, while parents and players see read-only views. Practice Plans allows training content to be organized by section, with descriptions and YouTube video links added, then published to the whole team, specific positions, or individual players. Its multi-team organization capability is a key highlight: one organization can manage multiple age groups and teams, coaches only see their own teams, and organization admins can view everything.

Pricing

Starter costs $9/month and is designed for a single team with up to 25 players. It includes lineups, depth charts, practice plans, and invite links, with a 14-day free trial and no credit card required. Program costs $29/month and supports unlimited teams and unlimited players, adding multi-age-group views, an organization admin dashboard, priority support, and a custom organization subdomain. Enterprise is custom-priced for large associations, leagues, or multi-sport programs, offering multi-sport support, white labeling, SSO/SAML, and dedicated support.

Pros and Cons

Its strengths are its focused use case and straightforward functionality. Invite links can be configured with roles, teams, expiration times, and maximum uses, making it well suited to reducing manual account creation. It also requires no app store installation and can be used directly in the browser. Its limitations are that public information does not disclose security details such as data encryption, privacy compliance, or backup policies, and there is no visible API, webhook, or integration capability beyond YouTube links. The Beta status means stability and feature completeness still need to be validated in real-world use.

Who It’s For and Access from China

Skipper is better suited to youth training clubs, school or community sports teams, and sports programs spanning multiple age groups, rather than general-purpose enterprise collaboration. Access from mainland China is not mentioned in the available text and would need to be tested; the current assessment is unknown.
