Features

Built for the day of the carnival

Every feature in MySportsDay exists because a PE teacher asked for it, or because we watched them work around the problem.

The killer feature

Parents love it. Schools switch for it.

Share one link before the carnival starts. Parents open it on any phone — no app download, no login required.

  • Live house leaderboard, updating automatically
  • Latest race results as they're entered
  • Upcoming event schedule
  • "Find my child" — search by name, see all their events and results
  • Coordinator announcements pushed instantly to all viewers
Available on all plans including Free — this is the feature that gets parents asking which software the school is using.
