I coach a team. I ship the app.

I'm Patrick Gill. I coach a U10 boys team in St. George, Utah. I built GoalKickr because I couldn't find a team app I actually wanted to open on a Saturday morning.

The big platforms cost too much for what a volunteer coach needs. The cheap ones are checklist apps. None of them felt like they were made by someone who has stood on a wet sideline at 8am trying to text fifteen parents about a field change while corralling ten-year-olds.

So I made my own. It runs my team. It runs my club. It's live on the App Store, and it ships an OTA update most days.

Here's the wedge, and it isn't features. It's cadence.

When somebody at TeamSnap files a bug, it goes into a queue. It gets prioritized against a roadmap that has nothing to do with your Tuesday practice. Maybe it lands in six months. Maybe never.

When you tell me something's broken, I fix it that week. Sometimes that night. I know what a missed RSVP costs you, because I coached last night too.

What I believe

• Parents should never pay. They already give up their evenings driving to practice. Don't nickel-and-dime them on top.
• Pricing goes on the page. No demos. No “Contact sales.” If you can't publish a price, you don't know what your software is worth.
• Coaches are the customer. You put in the time. The tool should make that time count.
• Trust is earned in small moments. An app that quietly works every Saturday for a season earns more than one that ships something shiny and dies at kickoff.

What I want from you

Try it. Coach a season on it. Tell me what breaks. Tell me what's missing. I read every note, and most of them turn into commits.

If you like what you see, bring your club. The club plan is one flat price, unlimited teams, and every coach on your roster gets the paid experience through the club.

If you're a coach who has been told to “just deal with” whatever your club picked, and you know it's holding your team back, let's talk. This was built for you.
