The best part
The grandparents can watch from four states away.
Text the families one link at the start of the season. Every game you keep shows up on
their phones live: the score, the down, the plays and the box score. Results and each
game's stats stay there all season. It costs them nothing and they don't need an account.
Last names stay offWatchers see jersey numbers and first names. Full names only if you deliberately turn them on. These are children, and that is the default we chose.
One link, and it's yoursOnly people with the link can see the team, and nobody can browse a list of teams. If it ends up somewhere it shouldn't, make a new one and the old one stops working.
A bad signal is fineYou keep recording either way. The plays catch up when the sideline gets a bar back.
A parent can keep the bookHand the stats to someone in the stands while you coach. They don't pay anything either.
