Coach taps the call
Open the free CoachSigns app — on iPhone and iPad now, Android coming soon. Tap the sign you want.
For softball & baseball teams
Every sign. Every player. Every field.
Tap a call from the free CoachSigns app on your iPhone or iPad. Every player's watch buzzes with the sign in under a second. No Wi-Fi, no cell service, no wristband cards, nothing for the other team to steal.
How it works
One Tap. All Signs.
2
Your base station broadcasts
The base station sends the call out on your team's private, encrypted channel.
3
Every watch buzzes
Every player's watch vibrates and shows the sign — under a second from tap to wrist.
What you get
Built for a full season of abuse.
Under a second
Tap to buzz in well under 1 second. Fast enough for a pitch clock, fast enough for a steal sign.
Encrypted for your team
Every team runs on its own encrypted channel. Opposing dugouts hear noise; only your players hear the call.
No Wi-Fi, no cell service
CoachSigns runs on its own private radio. Hang the base in your dugout or drop it in your pocket — it works at any field or location: remote tournaments, cell-dead parks, high-school backstops. Tested past 500 feet of range.
All-day battery
Watches run all day on a charge. Pro watches go about twice as long for tournament weekends. The base runs off any USB battery and has an optional built-in backup.
The gear
Two pieces — plus the device already in your pocket.
A base station for your dugout and a watch for each player. Send calls from the free CoachSigns app on your own phone or tablet. No subscriptions, no licensing, no seat counts.

By the book
Cleared to play wherever electronic signs are allowed.
CoachSigns is one-way — coach to player only. Players can't talk back. That's exactly what the rulebooks allow.
| Level | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Travel & club ball | Allowed | Unrestricted in most travel organizations. |
| High school softball (NFHS) | Allowed | One-way dugout-to-player approved as of 2025. |
| High school baseball (NFHS) | Allowed | One-way coach-to-catcher and coach-to-player. |
| NCAA softball | Allowed | One-way from coach / coach's box to offensive players. |
| NCAA baseball | Allowed | Audio and visual devices approved. |
| Little League | Allowed | One-way coach-to-catcher, defense only, from dugout. |
| USA Softball (ASA) | Allowed | One-way permitted. CoachSigns is legal. |
| Alliance Fastpitch | Allowed | One-way from the dugout permitted for offense and defense (adopted for the 2024 season). |
| PGF (Premier Girls Fastpitch) | Defense only | One-way permitted on defense. Batters may not view a device while at bat. |
| Triple Crown Fastpitch | Allowed | One-way from the dugout permitted. Consumer iOS/Android smart watches are banned — CoachSigns is a dedicated one-way receiver, not a smartphone-class watch. |
Always confirm the current rulebook for your specific league and season. Rules evolve — we do our best to keep this page current.
Questions coaches ask
How long does it take to set up?
The first time, about 15 minutes — unbox, charge, pair each watch, type in your calls. On game day, you power everything on and you're going in under a minute.
Do I need an app? How do coaches connect?
Yes — CoachSigns runs on a free app, available now for iPhone and iPad, with Android coming soon. Setup is a quick one-time pair: open the app and scan the QR code on your Coach Base's screen. After that it connects automatically over Bluetooth whenever you open the app — no Wi-Fi network to join, no accounts, no subscriptions.
How many players can it handle?
Unlimited. The system has been tested with 24 watches running together and can support more — add as many as your roster needs. No per-seat licensing or software limit.
Can the other team steal our signs?
No. Every team runs on its own encrypted channel. Another dugout with the same gear can't read your calls. Opposing coaches with binoculars can't either — there's nothing to see.
How do players know which sign came through?
The watch buzzes and the call appears on the screen in large text. Players glance at the wrist like they would any smartwatch.
What if a watch breaks?
Email us. Replacements are available at the same price. We also help troubleshoot remotely before you need to send anything back.
How do I get firmware updates?
Free firmware updates roll out through the CoachSigns app — both base station and player watches. Open the app, head to Settings → Firmware, and tap Update when one's available. No cables, no developer tools, no manual downloads.
One exception: some watch updates are installed by CoachSigns in person as a quick, one-time setup. After that, you can do all future watch updates yourself from the app. Contact us to schedule.
Can I try before I buy?
Yes — contact us and we'll arrange a demo or put you in touch with a nearby team already using CoachSigns.
