The problems TheCrib solves
Common obstacles lacrosse coaches face, and how TheCrib fixes them
Generic sports apps don't understand lacrosse positions or stats
TheCrib is configured for lacrosse: attack, midfield, defense, and goalie positions are built in. Stats tracking covers goals, assists, shots, saves, and ground balls. Face-off wins are logged per player. Box and field lacrosse have separate configuration modes so your roster and stats always match the format you're playing.
Gear lists for away tournaments require a new message thread every time
Create a tournament event in TheCrib and attach a gear checklist directly to it. Players see the list when they open the event. No separate thread, no "what do I need to bring" questions the night before. Update the list once and everyone sees the latest version.
Face-off stats and ground ball counts are never tracked
Log face-off wins and ground ball recoveries per player directly in TheCrib after each game. These are two of the most impactful stats in lacrosse and almost no general sports app tracks them. TheCrib does, and season totals accumulate automatically.
Collecting fees for travel tournaments is always the hardest part
Set up a payment request for tournament travel costs in TheCrib and parents pay through the app. You see who has paid and can send one-tap reminders to those who haven't. All payments are in CAD and deposited directly to your account.

Frequently asked questions
FAQs
Does TheCrib support both box lacrosse and field lacrosse?+
Yes. TheCrib has separate configuration modes for box and field lacrosse. Position labels, court/field dimensions on the tactics board, and stat categories adjust automatically based on the format. You can run a box team and a field team as separate groups in the same account.
Can I track face-off statistics in TheCrib?+
Yes. Face-off wins and losses can be logged per player after each game. Ground ball recoveries are also tracked individually. These are two of the most important stats in lacrosse and TheCrib is one of the few apps that tracks them properly.
How does the tactics board work for lacrosse?+
The tactics board includes an interactive lacrosse field canvas. You can draw plays, mark positions, and show movement patterns for attack, midfield, and defense. Diagrams can be saved and shared directly to players before a game.
Does TheCrib work for youth lacrosse clubs?+
Yes. TheCrib is built for coaches at every level from youth recreational to senior competitive. Parent-view accounts let parents see the schedule, their child's stats, and payment status without having coach-level access.
Can I manage a tournament schedule with multiple games in one day?+
Yes. TheCrib supports multi-game tournament schedules with different start times and field locations. Players are notified of each game separately. Weather is fetched automatically for outdoor tournament games.
