For parents & families

Your kid's football, without the group-chat chaos

The Blueprint is the app your club runs. You join with a QR code, answer “is she playing Saturday?” in one tap, follow the match live when you can't be there — and it never costs your family a cent.

Clubs run the Blueprint; families join free. Send your committee to thefb.au/for/clubs — it answers everything they'll ask.

Availability

“Is Ella playing Saturday?” — answered in a tap

No more scrolling a 200-message thread to find the poll. When a match needs an answer, you tap Available, Maybe or Out — and you're done. Got kids in different teams? Respond for all of them from one account.

  • One tap per child, straight from your phone
  • All your children in one account — no juggling team apps
  • One combined reminder instead of a nudge per team
Tap. Done.

Your answer saves instantly and the coach sees it live — no reply-all, no “did anyone see my message?”

Live match

Can't be at the ground? Follow it live

When the club shares its “follow the match” link, the score and key moments update live in your browser — from the sideline to grandma's couch. No login, no app, and player names are kept to a safe minimum on the public page.

Live score & events

Goals, cards and subs appear as the coach records them at the ground.

Just a link

Opens in any browser on any phone — share it with the whole extended family.

Safe by design

The public page shows the match, not your child's details.

Announcements

Never miss the message that matters

When the coach changes the meet time, it arrives as a clear broadcast — not message 147 in a busy thread. You tap “Got it”, the coach sees you've seen it, and nobody turns up at the wrong ground.

  • Announcements stand out from everyday chat
  • One tap — “Got it” — tells the coach you've seen it
  • Everyday messages stay in-platform, so nothing important lives in someone's SMS

Development

Watch them grow, season after season

Coaches set development goals for your child and record feedback against them — and you can see it, so the car ride home is about what they're working on, not guesswork. Nothing gets lost between seasons or left behind with last year's coach.

  • See your child's development goals and progress
  • Coach feedback recorded in one place, not lost in a notebook
  • Goals carry across seasons as your child grows
More than a team sheet

Fixtures and availability get you to the game. Development goals show why your child keeps wanting to go back.

Safeguarding

Built with kids in mind, from the start

A limited view, on purpose

Parents and players see a simple, role-appropriate surface — never the club's admin tools or other families' details.

Medical info stays gated

Your child's medical details are visible to coaches and admins only — not the whole team.

Messaging stays in the platform

No coach ever needs your child's phone number. Every conversation lives inside the club.

Data hosted in Australia

Everything is stored in the Firebase Australia region.

No ads, ever

No popups, no sponsored feeds — your family's attention isn't the product.

Built for juniors and seniors

The same platform runs under-6s to senior teams, with extra protection wherever children are involved.

Free for families

Free for families. Nothing to install.

The club pays one subscription — players and parents are always free. There's no separate app to hunt down in a store: scan the club's QR code or tap the invite link and you're in, on any phone.

  • Free for players and parents — the club's plan covers everyone
  • Join by QR code or link in minutes
  • Works in the browser on any phone — add it to your home screen if you like
