Safe Messaging for
Youth Sports Clubs
TeamGuard keeps coaches, parents, and athletes connected with real-time messaging where nothing happens in private. Safeguarding by design, not by chance.
The way clubs communicate today is a liability.
Coaches texting athletes on personal phones, no oversight, no trail
Club owners with no way to prove compliance during an audit
Other messaging apps only stay compliant through perfect discipline
Enterprise compliance tools priced for national bodies, not your club
TeamGuard fixes all of this, without asking anyone to change how they message.
Safeguarding that can't be skipped.
Other apps make compliance your job. TeamGuard makes it the system's job. The rules are built into how it works, so they hold up on your busiest day and during your toughest audit.
Automatic parent inclusion
Any time a minor is in a thread, their guardian is added automatically, and cannot be removed.
No private coach-to-minor messaging
Blocked automatically. The app never even presents the option.
Complete audit trail
Every message, login, role change & group edit logged with actor, target, timestamp & detail.
7-year retention
Records held for the full required window, ready whenever you need them.
Date-ranged CSV export
Admin-only, audit-ready exports you can hand to investigators in seconds.
Compliance by design
Rules live in the system, not a policy binder. Discipline can lapse, the system doesn't.
What this looks like on a Tuesday night at practice.
A coach tries to DM an athlete directly
There's no "private message" option between a coach and a minor to begin with. Any thread that includes the athlete includes their parent from the first message, automatically.
An assistant coach leaves mid-season
An admin deactivates their account and access is revoked immediately, everywhere. Their message history stays intact in the audit trail; it isn't deleted with them.
A board member asks for records during a review
The club admin pulls a date-ranged CSV export in seconds, no digging through phones or personal texts, no coach having to self-report.
These protections mirror the minor-athlete communication requirements clubs already work under federal law, including the Protecting Young Victims from Sexual Abuse and Safe Sport Authorization Act of 2017. TeamGuard doesn't replace your club's policies, background checks, or training; it's the messaging layer that makes the technical side of those policies hold up automatically. See how this lines up with SafeSport's own rules and MAAPP in our FAQ.
Everyone gets exactly what they need.
The club admin is the only buyer. Coaches, parents and athletes never pay a cent.
Club Admins
Prove compliance in minutes, not weeks.
Coaches
Message your athletes without watching your back.
Parents
Never miss a thing, with zero setup.
Athletes
Talk to coaches naturally, inside the guardrails.
Every plan includes everything.
There's no feature tier to climb. Every plan gets the full platform, the only thing that changes is how many athletes your club has. Every plan includes a 30-day free trial, no credit card.
Included on every plan
Counts only the athletes you actually add to TeamGuard. These are typically your older, competitive-level athletes who coaches message directly. Most clubs only need this for a portion of their roster.
