Practice moved indoors, and everyone knows

Rain, a room change, a late pickup: a season is full of small updates that used to mean a phone tree. ClassDojo gives every coach one place to message families, post a photo from practice, and send a reminder the whole team sees, in the language each family reads.

Emre's been a great helper! He even stayed after today to help clean up.

Simple for every staff member

A new volunteer coach can be set up before the first practice, with no training day and nothing for your council to install.

Frequently asked questions

Is ClassDojo free for our council?

Yes — ClassDojo is free for your council, every volunteer coach on your roster, and every family on every team. ClassDojo offers optional services directly to families, like ClassDojo Plus and Dojo Tutor, and that's what keeps it free for everyone else. We never sell personal information, and we never share it with advertisers.

Which age groups does ClassDojo work for?

Councils use ClassDojo with every team they run, from the youngest runners through middle school. Coaches choose what each team's families see.

How do our staff get set up?

Each staff member creates an account and sets up their group in a few minutes — no IT project, no training day.

How do families join?

Staff share an invite link or code, and families connect from the free app on their phone. Many families already use ClassDojo with their child's school, so there's often nothing new to download at all.

How is our program's data protected?

Your program's information belongs to your program. ClassDojo is COPPA-compliant, never sells personal information, and never shares it with advertisers — see our privacy and security page for the full detail.

Can council staff see what coaches share with families?

Yes. Authorized admins can review communication records, helping directors stay informed and support their teams.

Our council runs teams at a lot of schools. How does that work?

Each team runs its own group, while council staff manage them all from one account. You can send an announcement to every family in the council or to a single team, and see a real-time feed of updates from across your sites. Most councils start with a few teams and add the rest once coaches have seen how it works.

Is ClassDojo affiliated with Girls on the Run International?

No. ClassDojo isn't affiliated with or endorsed by Girls on the Run International. It's a free app that council staff, coaches and families choose on their own to stay connected.

Our coaches are volunteers and they change every season. Is that a problem?

No. Coaches are added and removed in a couple of clicks, and the team's history stays with the council rather than walking out with the coach.
