Sound familiar?

Athletic Directors at small schools wear too many hats. The tools shouldn't make it worse.

Schedules live in 5 different places

Spreadsheets, email threads, a coach's notebook, a whiteboard in the gym, and someone's head.

Parents text you at 10pm

"Is practice cancelled tomorrow?" You answer the same question 15 times across WhatsApp, text, and email.

Two teams, one field, zero warning

You find out about the conflict when both teams show up. Scrambling ensues.

There's a better way.

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Six powerful tools, one simple platform. Built specifically for small school athletics.

Master Calendar

Every practice, game, and tournament in one view. Automatic conflict detection catches double-bookings before they happen. Color-coded by team, filterable by sport, facility, or date range.

Smart Scheduling

Set recurring practice patterns once. Handle exceptions, cancellations, and rescheduling without recreating everything from scratch.

Role-Based Access

Admins see everything. Coaches see their teams. Parents see their kids' schedules. Everyone stays informed, nobody sees too much.

Team Chat

Replace the WhatsApp/text/email chaos with organized, team-specific conversations. Announcements reach the right people instantly.

AI Assistant

Ask questions about your program in plain English. “What games do we have this week?” “Any schedule conflicts on Friday?”

See which fields, gyms, and courts are booked at a glance. The schedule matrix shows every team, every facility, every day — so conflicts are visible before they happen.

Up and running in under an hour

No complex onboarding. No consultants. No multi-week rollout.

Upload a CSV or add teams manually. Students, coaches, and parents are linked automatically.

02

“We went from managing 10 teams across spreadsheets, email, and WhatsApp to having everything in one place. I'm saving at least 10 hours a week. The parents love that they can just check the app instead of texting me.”

Athletic Director
Waldorf School of the Peninsula
Trusted by Silicon Valley's most privacy-conscious schools

Privacy-first. By design.

Private schools protect their communities with care. In an era of AI and digital transformation, your athletics platform should hold itself to the same standard.

Row-level security

Every database query is scoped to the authenticated user. Coaches only see their teams. Parents only see their children. No exceptions, no shortcuts.

No student data sold. Ever.

We don't monetize your data. No ads, no third-party analytics on student information, no selling contact lists. Your school's data belongs to your school.

Encrypted everywhere

All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Hosted on SOC 2 compliant infrastructure with automatic backups.

Chalkboard is trusted by schools that take student privacy as seriously as academic excellence — communities where protecting families isn't a checkbox, it's a core value. We built Chalkboard to meet that standard, not the other way around.

Simple pricing. No per-team gouging.

One price per school. All features included. No surprise fees.

Example: A school with 150 students, 10 sports, and 4 admins (AD, school director, parent relations, MS/HS admin) → Professional $149 + 1 extra admin $29 = $178/mo for the entire school. Parents, coaches, and students are always free.

Need more than 10 admin seats or multi-campus support? Contact us for a custom plan.

Most schools spend $300–500/mo cobbling together separate tools for scheduling, communication, and team management. Chalkboard replaces them all with one platform — starting at $99/mo.

Frequently asked questions

How long does setup take?

Most schools are fully up and running in under an hour. You can import your teams and schedules via CSV, or add them manually. We handle the data migration for you if needed.

Is our data secure?

Absolutely. We use row-level security built on PostgreSQL, meaning each user only sees data they're authorized to access. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. No student data is ever sold or shared.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. Chalkboard is fully responsive and works great on phones and tablets. Parents and coaches can check schedules, chat, and get notifications from any device.

What sports do you support?

All of them. Chalkboard is sport-agnostic — soccer, basketball, volleyball, track, swimming, cross-country, you name it. If your school offers it, Chalkboard manages it.

Can we switch from our current tools?

Yes, and it's painless. We can import your existing data from CSV files — whether you're coming from another platform or spreadsheets. Most schools are transitioned within a day. No data gets left behind.

Is there a contract or commitment?

No long-term contracts. Month-to-month billing with a 14-day free trial. Cancel anytime — but we don't think you'll want to.

What makes Chalkboard different from other sports tools?

Most sports management tools were built for recreational youth leagues. Chalkboard is purpose-built for school athletics departments — with facility management, a unified master calendar across all teams, per-school pricing instead of per-team, and a privacy-first approach designed for the schools that care most about protecting their community.
