TheCrib started from the frustration of coaching with tools that don't match how coaching actually works.
I coach basketball in Montreal. For years I juggled spreadsheets for the roster, WhatsApp groups for communication, separate payment apps to collect fees, and paper notes for practice plans.
The apps that existed were either too expensive, too complex, or designed for professional teams with budgets and support staff. Nothing for a community-level coach doing everything themselves.
So I built TheCrib. One app that does everything a coach actually needs. CAD pricing, and every feature comes from a real problem coaches told me about.
Whether you coach a neighborhood team or an academy, you deserve the same tools as a professional team at a price you can actually afford.
A few requests, the way they came in, and what we did about them.
"Missed threes show up as a blank."
Shipped: A missed shot now counts: 0/3 instead of a blank, and the season percentage is right.
"I need the score of each quarter for the league sheet."
Shipped: End of Q1, right under the score. Every quarter is saved with the game.
"I want to see every play, not just the total."
Shipped: Play by play, with the score after every basket.
"I can't send a player back to the bench on the whiteboard."
Shipped: Tap them again and they go back to the roster. And any single play prints as a PDF.
"Light mode is hard to read."
Shipped: Every page checked, and darker lines everywhere.
