SideOut is a phone-first volleyball stat tracker for the parent or assistant coach standing in the bleachers. Large, thumb-reachable buttons log each player's serve aces and errors, attack kills and errors, digs, blocks, assists, and receptions as the rallies happen — no iPad and no cloud login required.
Every tap recomputes the box score on screen in real time, so the totals you see always reconcile with the events you logged. Sets, rotations, substitutions, and libero swaps are handled by the match model, so a mid-set switch never scrambles the numbers.
When the match ends, SideOut renders a clean per-player line score as an image or PDF that you can AirDrop, text, or email — even with no signal in the gym. Matches are stored on the device, with no account and no sign-in.
Big per-player buttons for kills, digs, aces, blocks, assists, and errors, laid out for one-handed use on a phone.
Totals update on every tap and always reconcile on screen — the number you announce is the number that was logged.
Set-by-set structure with substitutions and libero swaps built into the match model, not patched around it.
Export a clean per-player line score as an image or PDF for the team group chat, straight from the gym.
Logging, box scores, and export all run on the device. A gym with no reception changes nothing.
See scoring runs rally by rally after each set, so the story of the match is visible, not just the totals.
Enter your team, the opponent, and the roster with names and jersey numbers.
During each rally, tap the player and the event — kill, dig, ace, block, error. The box score updates instantly.
Between sets, check per-player lines and the momentum chart to see who is carrying the scoring runs.
Export the final per-player box score as an image or PDF and send it to family or the team chat.
The key is an input layout built for a phone: large per-player buttons within thumb reach, so you can log a rally in one tap without looking away from the court. SideOut is designed phone-first around exactly that grid, with the live box score pinned above it.
The core line for most club and school teams is kills, attack errors, aces, serve errors, digs, blocks, assists, and serve receptions. That set is enough to compute hitting efficiency and see who is producing. SideOut logs all of these per player with one tap each.
Record each terminal action of a rally against the player who made it, then total by player and by set. Doing this on paper during fast rallies is where errors creep in. SideOut recomputes the box score after every tap, so the totals always match the events underneath.
A side out is when the receiving team wins the rally and takes over the serve. Under rally scoring it also scores a point, which makes side-out percentage a key measure of how well a team converts serve receive. The app is named after that moment — the rally-by-rally events it logs.
Yes. SideOut is built for the iPhone first — the tap grid, the live box score, and the export flow are all sized for a phone held in one hand in the bleachers. There is no iPad requirement and no second-class phone layout.
With SideOut, yes. All logging, scoring, and export run on the device with no account or server involved, so a concrete gym with zero bars doesn't interrupt the match. You can share the game card later, or by AirDrop right there.
After the match, export a game card — a clean image or PDF of the per-player line score with the final result. SideOut renders this on the device, so you can text it, AirDrop it, or drop it in the family group chat straight from the gym.
The libero replaces a back-row player without a formal substitution, and their digs and receptions must be credited separately from the player they replaced. This is where many stat apps tangle. SideOut models libero swaps as part of the set structure, so credits land on the right player.
Hitting efficiency is kills minus attack errors, divided by total attack attempts — a measure of how much an attacker actually produces per swing. It needs accurate kill, error, and attempt counts, which is exactly what one-tap logging in SideOut captures rally by rally.
Absolutely — many club teams rely on a parent or assistant for the stat line. The tool just has to be fast enough for live rallies and readable without training. SideOut uses one job per screen, large type, and a tap grid that a first-time scorer can run by the second set.
Track the score rally by rally and look for runs — several consecutive points by one team. SideOut draws this as a momentum line after each set, so you can see the 5-0 surge that decided the set rather than inferring it from the final score.
Yes. SideOut writes every event to local storage as it is logged, so an interruption — a phone call, an app switch, a dead battery moment — does not lose the match. Reopen the app and the box score is where you left it.
Log the match with one thumb — leave with a box score worth sharing.
