For U.S. softball families

Introducing OpenDugout

A clearer path to the next coach.

Softball recruiting, made more affordable for every family.

OpenDugout is being built to help players and parents manage profiles, video, college matches, and coach outreach in one family-led place.

Parent approval is required; profiles stay private until a parent publishes them.

Designed for parent-approved recruiting. No scholarship promises.

The recruiting work

One season.
Fewer loose ends.

The planned toolkit follows the real work families do, from a first stat sheet to the next coach reply.

See how families stay in control
  1. 01

    Build a clear player story

    Bring position-specific stats, academics, and recruiting interests together in a parent-approved profile and printable stat sheet.

  2. 02

    Find programs worth a closer look

    Explore about 2,000 college softball programs across NCAA divisions I, II, and III, NAIA, and NJCAA, with reach, target, and likely matches.

  3. 03

    Make the video work harder

    Plan highlight reels from phone clips with trims, title cards, stat overlays, and filming guidance for each position.

  4. 04

    Keep coach outreach organized

    Prepare personal emails from the player’s Gmail or Outlook, send only after parent approval, and keep replies, follow-ups, and next steps together.

  5. 05

    Give teams a way to help

    Planned Team and Club tools are designed to help coaches support athletes without taking the family out of the lead.

Family in the lead

Good recruiting keeps a parent in the dugout.

OpenDugout is designed around the fact that most players are minors. The rules are part of the product, not fine print.

  • Parent-created or parent-approved accounts. OpenDugout is for players 13 and older.

  • Private by default. A profile stays private until a parent chooses to publish it.

  • Player data is never sold. Stats should stay honest and self-reported measures should be labeled.

  • No scholarship or roster guarantees. Planned outreach caps new coach emails at 25 per player each day, allows up to two follow-ups per coach, and stops when a coach declines.
