Youth Basketball Team App | ClassDojo

When the gym time moves, every family knows

ClassDojo is free for your program, your coaches, and every family, and every message translates automatically. One post reaches the whole team, whatever language they read it in.

“It's really important that we're able to directly communicate in a way that aligns with our mission and vision with our families — and ClassDojo allows us to do that instantly.”
— Anthony Avery, Out of School Time Coordinator, Arts for Learning Maryland

80% of family messages are read the same day they're sent
190+ languages, translated automatically for every family
45M+ children, families, and teachers use ClassDojo in 180 countries
90%+ of US K-8 schools use ClassDojo, so families already know it

The gym shuffle, without the group text

Shared school gyms mean practice times move, sometimes the night before. Post the change once in ClassDojo and every family sees it on their phone, translated into their own language, with read receipts so you know it landed.

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

Love that!

Every season is full of moments worth sharing

Everything your program needs to keep families close

Gym changes that reach every family

Send practice moves, game times, and reminders in seconds, translated automatically into 190+ languages, so no family is left guessing which gym to drive to.

Game schedules, brackets, and sign-ups

Post the season schedule and tournament weekends, open volunteer and snack slots for families to claim, send reminders before tip-off, and sync it all to Google Calendar.

Team photos and game clips

Share photos and video from practices and games, so the families in the stands and the families stuck at work see the same moments.

Families are already here

Millions of parents already use ClassDojo with their child's school. Because so much youth basketball runs out of those same schools, your families almost certainly already have it.

Simple for volunteer coaches

A volunteer coach can set up their team between the roster email and the first practice. Nothing to install, nothing to learn.

Free accounts for coaches and team parents

Add every coach and team parent at no cost, set what each one can see, and keep a coach-only channel for gym assignments families do not need.

Practice check-in

Check players in at practice with one tap, and keep a record of who made it when gym slots are shared and sessions move.

Top of the class for privacy

We put privacy and trust first. We never share students’ information with advertisers, and we use the latest and best security practices to keep you safe at all times.

Frequently asked questions

Is ClassDojo free for our program?
Yes. ClassDojo is free for your program, free for your coaches, and free for every family, and no family ever has to pay to use it with your program. 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?
Programs use ClassDojo across every level they run, from first-time instructional squads through high school age teams. 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.

Our coaches are volunteers. Will they actually use it?
It works the way texting already does: type an update, add a photo, hit send. Most coaches are set up in a few minutes, with no training night and nothing new to learn.

What if families already use ClassDojo at school?
Then most of your work is done. It's the same app and the same login they already have, so your program shows up right alongside their child's class. Nothing new to download, and no password to reset.

We already use a registration system. Does ClassDojo replace it?
No. Registration, rosters and payments stay where they are. ClassDojo is the part those systems do not do well: the day-to-day messages, photos and reminders families actually read, in the language each family speaks at home.
