Run your cross country club
from one app.
Cross country is a meet sport with a large squad and a short season, and almost all of the administration is logistics: who is running, who is traveling, and when the bus leaves.
Cross country scheduling
meet by meet.
Meets and training on one schedule, with calendar feeds that keep families current when a start time moves.
Varsity and JV see what applies to them
Rostered treats a meet as the event it is and attaches it to the teams it involves, so varsity and junior varsity families see what applies to them rather than the whole program’s fall. Subscribed calendars update when the schedule changes instead of leaving families with the printout that came home in August.
Where the bus parks, and the forecast
Each meet carries its venue, the address, whatever the coach wrote about where the bus parks and where spectators can actually watch from, and the forecast for that location. In a sport contested outdoors in October, the forecast is part of the plan rather than trivia, because it decides what goes in the bag.
Mute the Tuesday run, keep the meet
Training runs that repeat are held as a series, so a family can mute the Tuesday session they never need reminding about and still hear about the Saturday meet. A change to a meet sends one notification for that event rather than one for each adjustment the coach makes while sorting it out.
Who is running
and who is on the bus.
Per-athlete availability for each meet, with reminders that link straight to it, and attendance at practice.
The ask goes to each runner
The ask goes to each runner rather than to the squad, and families answer from a phone or a laptop. Reminders go only to the families who have not answered and link to the meet itself. The invitation is tracked as sent, viewed and answered, so a coach chasing a travel list on Wednesday can tell who has seen it from who has not.
The travel list builds itself
The coach sees confirmed, declined and pending with names against each, which is what the travel list and the bus count are built from rather than a headcount taken in the parking lot. Coaches can have that summary emailed instead of checking between classes.
Who is actually fit to race
Training attendance is marked present or absent from a phone at the trailhead, with excused reasons recorded and a guardian’s own check-in kept separately from the coach’s mark. Over a season that runs ten or twelve weeks, that is the clearest signal a coach has about who is actually fit to race.
Cross country rosters
and travel lists.
One squad, organized into the divisions the sport runs, with guardian contacts to hand.
A simpler roster, kept simple
Cross country rosters are simpler than most sports and Rostered keeps them that way: runners, organized into the varsity and junior varsity divisions the sport actually uses, with guardian contacts sitting on the roster where a coach can reach them from a course an hour from school.
Change the squad, move everything with it
Because rosters drive everything else, a change to the squad moves the schedule, the availability requests and the team Huddle at the same time, rather than leaving a coach to reconcile three lists and discover in week six that one runner has been missing the emails since September.
Graduating year does the age work
Athletes sit in a cohort by the year they graduate, which for a high school program means the roster knows who is a senior and who is a freshman without anybody maintaining a second column that goes stale every August. When the season rolls over, the whole squad moves up a year together and the graduating group is retired in one action.
Tell the squad
once.
Team and division Huddles that follow the roster, for the bus time and the course map.
A Huddle with the history in it
The squad gets a Huddle created with the team, with membership following the roster, so an athlete who joins in week three sees what was said in week one instead of asking a question that was answered twice. When a coach moves on, the history stays with the team rather than leaving on their phone.
Forty acknowledgments, one thread
Reactions let a large squad confirm they have read the departure time without burying the next message under forty replies, and announcement mode is available when the coach needs something read rather than discussed. Attachments keep the course map and the meet schedule with the message.
Coach Huddles, and email that stays findable
Coaches get Huddles of their own for the conversations that are not for the whole squad, and direct messages cover the rest. Club email can also be sent from Rostered and is listed inside the app, so the message about the bus is findable a week later.
