Questions coaches ask

Yes — Scrimmage Games is completely free for coaches. There is no subscription, no per-game fee and no paid tier: download the app on iPhone (iOS 16 or later) or Android, set up your team profile, and post or book as many scrimmages as you want at no cost.

Yes. Both coaches use the free Scrimmage Games app — that is what keeps scheduling private. You find each other in the app, message inside the app, and confirm the game inside the app, so neither coach has to hand out a phone number or chase a text thread.

Scrimmage Games covers baseball and softball teams across travel, school, adult and rec leagues. Every team profile lists an age group and a skill level, so you can filter to exactly your bracket and either match your own competition or deliberately play up to challenge your team.

All messaging happens inside the Scrimmage Games app. Your phone number is never shown to the other coach — you chat, agree on a field and a start time, and confirm the game without sharing any personal contact details, unless you later choose to share them yourself.

Coaches post scrimmages on Scrimmage Games across the United States, with the deepest coverage today in the Northeast and North Carolina. Set your distance filter to see every open game near you, or widen it to line up opponents around a tournament trip or travel weekend.

Once the other coach accepts on Scrimmage Games, you agree on the date and field in the in-app chat and confirm the game. The scrimmage is saved to My Schedule, where your whole season lives in one place and can be emailed to parents in a tap.

Yes — widen the distance filter in Scrimmage Games and you will see open games as far as you are willing to travel. Every game card shows how many miles away the field is, which makes it easy to line up scrimmages around a tournament trip.

There is no limit. Scrimmage Games lets you book one preseason tune-up or build out a whole calendar — one coach quoted on this site scheduled his entire season in a single evening. Post your open dates once and keep accepting matches as long as your team wants to play.

Yes. Scrimmage Games supports both baseball and softball, across travel, school, adult and rec leagues. Adult teams use the same filters as youth teams — age group, skill level and distance — so a Sunday rec club can find opponents just as easily as a travel squad.

Yes. Every confirmed game lands in My Schedule inside the Scrimmage Games app, so your season lives in one place instead of a group chat. From there you can save the schedule and email it to parents in a tap — no retyping dates into a spreadsheet.

Nothing. Scrimmage Games is free on iPhone (iOS 16 or later) and Android, with no hidden fees, subscriptions or per-game charges. The app was built by a coach to fix his own scheduling problem, and keeping it free is what grows the network of teams for everyone.

We read every note. Post ideas and bug reports on the public Scrimmage Games feedback board, where you can also vote on other coaches' suggestions — the roadmap is steered by what coaches actually ask for. Prefer email? Write to coach@scrimmage.games and a person will answer.
