About Sideline Scout
Because we've lived them. Sideline Scout is the AI concierge that knows every venue, hotel, restaurant, and parking lot in youth sports.
Every tournament weekend, millions of families scramble through the same questions: Where should we stay? Where can 20 people eat together? Is there shade at the fields? Where do we park?
The answers exist — scattered across Facebook groups, team group chats, and the memory of parents who've been there before. But finding them is slow, unreliable, and stressful.
Sideline Scout collects that intelligence, organizes it, and delivers it instantly through an AI assistant that knows your specific tournament. Ask a question, get an answer backed by real parent experiences — not ads, not sponsored content, not generic search results.
What We Do
Sideline Scout combines AI with crowdsourced parent intelligence to give you everything you need for tournament weekend — hotels, restaurants, field conditions, parking, weather, and sideline gear rentals — all in one place.
Natural language AI that understands tournament context. Ask like you'd ask a friend who lives there.
Detailed guides for every tournament venue, built from real family experiences over time.
The Sideline Suites marketplace connects traveling families with local gear hosts near the venue.
Find restaurants that seat big groups, with real capacity info and reservation tips.
Our Story
We've hauled wagons through airport security, circled parking lots at 7am, and spent too many hours in team group chats asking the same questions everyone else is asking. Sideline Scout is the tool we wished existed.

Our Vision
Today, we're starting with lacrosse — the sport we know best. But the problem is universal. Every youth sport has tournaments, every tournament has traveling families, and every family needs the same answers.
Our vision is to be the platform every tournament family opens first. Not a search engine, not a booking site — a trusted guide that knows the venue, the area, the weather, and the setup better than anyone in the group chat.
Every family that uses Sideline Scout makes the intelligence sharper for the next one. That's the flywheel. More families, better data, smarter recommendations, happier weekends.
