The problems TheCrib solves
Common obstacles volleyball coaches face, and how TheCrib fixes them
Not sure if you have enough players for weekend tournaments
Send an availability request through TheCrib before each tournament. Players respond Yes, No, or Maybe. Based on responses, you can confirm your 12-player roster, build a reserve list for extras, or send a call-to-action to fill gaps. All from one screen.
Explaining rotation systems over WhatsApp never works
Draw your 6-rotation system and serve-receive patterns on TheCrib's interactive volleyball court. Share the diagram directly to players' phones before practice. Everyone sees the same drawing. No more hand-drawn photos with illegible arrows.
Kill and dig counts tracked by hand don't survive the season
Log kills, digs, aces, and blocks per player during or after each game. Season totals accumulate automatically. You can see which attackers are performing, how your libero is handling serve-receive, and which setters are distributing evenly.
Coordinating volunteers and parent helpers at tournaments is chaos
Create helper roles for your tournament in TheCrib (scoreboard operator, libero tracker, water station) and parents or players can sign up directly in the app. No separate signup sheet, no forgotten commitments.

TheCrib handles your entire volleyball season schedule (league games, practices, and tournaments) with automatic notifications to your players. RSVP tracking shows you your confirmed roster for every session. For tournaments with multiple matches in a day, you can add each game separately with its court number and time.

Frequently asked questions
FAQs
Can I track rotation statistics in TheCrib?+
You can log per-player stats (kills, digs, aces, blocks, and attack percentage) for each game. Rotation-level tracking (which players were on court together) can be noted in game notes. Season stats accumulate automatically and can be exported.
Does TheCrib support beach volleyball teams?+
TheCrib works for any volleyball format: indoor 6s, indoor 4s, and beach volleyball. The roster, schedule, and communication features work the same way. The tactics board is configured for indoor volleyball court dimensions.
How does the tournament bracket feature work?+
You can create a tournament schedule with multiple games per day in TheCrib. Each game has its own time, court, and location. Players receive individual notifications for each match. Brackets can be managed as a series of scheduled games.
Can I manage multiple volleyball teams under one account?+
Yes. If you coach multiple teams (a senior women's team and a U16 team, for example), you can manage both from the same TheCrib account. Each team has its own roster, schedule, and communications.
How do parents get access to the volleyball schedule?+
Parents can be added to the team as parent-view members. They see the schedule, their child's attendance record, and payment status. They receive the same game notifications as players, including weather updates for outdoor practices.
