Everything you need to run your baseball program — from registration to game day.

Collect season dues at sign-up through Stripe, then invoice for tournament entries, uniforms, and travel. Track who has paid per player.
Run 9U through 14U squads from one dashboard. Approved players land on the right age-group roster automatically.
Each coach sees only their own team's roster, registrations, calendar, and communications. Directors see the whole club.
Travel baseball is a different animal from rec. You are not running one Saturday league; you are running a club that carries a 9U team, an 11U team, and a 13U team at once, each playing a full tournament schedule from spring into the fall. Families are not paying a flat season fee and forgetting about it. They are committing to monthly dues, tournament entries most weekends, travel, and a uniform package that can run into the hundreds per player.
That level of spend changes what parents expect. They want to know exactly what they are paying for, when it is due, and where the money is going, and they will notice the moment a payment goes untracked. Most select programs still run this on a spreadsheet, a separate app for messaging, and a treasurer fielding Venmo notes at midnight.
Sideline gives the club one place to run tryouts, rosters, dues, and every per-tournament charge. The family sees a clear record of what they owe and what they have paid, and the board is not reconciling three teams worth of payments by hand the week before an entry deposit is due.
Travel baseball starts with tryouts, not sign-ups, and Sideline is built around that order. Point prospective players at a tryout registration first. A parent enters the player details, primary and secondary positions, batting and throwing hand, current age group, and years of experience, and you collect the tryout fee up front if you charge one. You are evaluating players, not committing roster spots, so nobody pays full dues yet.
Once you make offers, move accepted players into the paid team registration for the 9U, 11U, or 13U squad they made. That is where season dues, the uniform order, and waivers come in. Each team carries its own registration link, so a family accepting an 11U offer only sees the 11U team and the 11U fee, and an age cutoff never lands a kid on the wrong roster.
Youth mode keeps a parent or guardian on every registration, so the adult signing waivers and paying is always on record, and a family with two players in the program registers both without starting the form over. You add, remove, or reorder any field from your settings, so if you track a preferred number or a showcase graduation year, you ask once and every family sees it.
Nothing stacks up line items like travel baseball. There is a season or monthly dues commitment, a tournament entry most weekends, a uniform and gear package, and travel costs for the events that require a hotel block.
Sideline collects the season registration fee at sign-up through Stripe, so making the roster and paying the first commitment happen together. Everything after that runs through invoices. Bill the whole 13U roster for a weekend tournament entry, collect a uniform package deposit, charge each family their share of a hotel block, or send the next monthly dues installment, and parents pay online with a card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. Your dashboard shows who has paid and who still owes on every charge, per player, so you know the 11U team is fully funded before you wire an entry fee you cannot get back.
Money moves directly from the parent to your club bank account through your connected Stripe account, and Sideline never holds your funds. Against TeamSnap at 3.25% plus $1.50 per transaction, Sideline keeps processing fees low, which matters across a season where a single family might make a dozen separate payments.
A travel organization is really several teams sharing a name, a logo, and a board. Sideline runs all of them from one dashboard. The moment you approve a registration, that player lands on the right age-group roster with their positions, sizes, and payment status attached, so you are never rebuilding a 9U roster in a spreadsheet while the 13U coach texts you for his.
Filter the whole club by team, age group, or position to see your depth before you commit to an event. Every coach gets a login scoped to their own team. Your 9U coach sees the 9U roster, registrations, calendar, and messages, and nothing from the 11U or 13U squads, which keeps player contact details and medical info in front of only the staff who should have them. Club directors see every team from the organization view.
When players age up between seasons, their registration history, payment records, and signed waivers carry forward, so the family whose son played 11U last summer is a few clicks from your 13U roster this year instead of a blank form. That continuity is what lets a volunteer board run a multi-team select program without an annual scramble to rebuild every roster and every fee from scratch.
Point prospective players at a tryout registration first, where you collect their details, positions, and a tryout fee if you charge one, without committing a roster spot. Once you make offers, move accepted players into the paid team registration for the age group they made, and that is where season dues, the uniform order, and waivers are collected.
Yes. The season registration fee is collected at sign-up, and everything else runs through invoices. Send the next monthly dues installment, bill a whole team for a weekend tournament entry, collect a uniform deposit, or split a hotel block across the roster. Parents pay online through Stripe, and your dashboard tracks who has paid on each charge, per player.
Yes. Create a team for each age group, and each gets its own registration link so families only see the squad their player made. Approved players land on the right roster automatically, coaches get access scoped to their own team, and directors see every team from one organization dashboard.
A rec program usually opens one registration link and lets families sign up straight through. A travel program runs tryouts first, then moves accepted players into paid rosters, and layers monthly dues, tournament entries, and travel on top. Sideline supports both, and if you also run rec teams, our youth baseball setup covers that side. Both live in the same organization.
Yes. Each coach gets a login scoped to their own team, with access to that team's roster, registrations, calendar, and communications only. Your 9U staff never sees 13U contact details or medical info, and club directors see every team from the organization view.
To start, often yes. The free Starter plan includes 3 teams and up to 75 players with full online registration, payment collection, waivers, and coach dashboards, and no credit card is required. As you add age groups, the Club plan is $29/month for up to 15 teams and Pro is $79/month for up to 50 teams.
