Freeball

Volleyball statistics for high school and club programs

Score the match on the bench. Get the stats before the bus leaves.

Freeball is a volleyball statistics app built around one tablet scorer on the bench. A student manager taps the rally as it happens, offline, on gym wifi or none at all. The box score, the rotation numbers and the season reports all fall out of that same record.

Sign up takes a couple of minutes. We will email you as soon as your program is open.

See it in action

Real screens from a demo program. Names are made up; the numbers are what the scorer produced.

Scoring on the bench. Every player on court carries her own six buttons, so a pass, a dig or a set is one tap. What ends the rally takes two: the player, then Kill, Ace, Block, an error or a fault. The score, the rotation and the box score follow on their own.
Reports overview with record, hitting percentage, receive average, side-out and point-scoring tiles, and a Where to look next row
Season reports. The overview puts the season on one screen, then names the one number worth chasing in each part of the game. Rotations, attacking, serving and passing, errors and players each get their own page, filtered by season, team, opponent or date range, printable and downloadable as CSV.
Freeball Live on a phone: live score, sets, how the set is trending and who is on court
Freeball live for families. Score, set count, how the set is trending and who is on court, with the play-by-play and the box score below, updated as the bench scores. Follow a team and get a push when a match starts.
The scorer screen mid-set: score, rotation, the six on court, bench, and the action buttons
Built for a 7 to 8 inch tablet. Large touch targets, portrait or landscape, and it keeps scoring with no wifi at all; everything syncs when the tablet is back online.

What you get

Everything below is built for one job: keeping a real season's numbers without a spreadsheet and without a second scorer in the stands.

Offline-first bench scorer

A touch layout for Android tablets and iPads, installed to the home screen. It keeps scoring with no signal at all and syncs when the wifi comes back, so a dead hotspot in the third set costs you nothing.

Stats derived from the rally log

Every tap is an event in an append-only log, and the box score, per-set lines and rotation splits are projected from it. Fix a misrecorded rally and every number that depended on it is rebuilt.

live pages for families

Share one link and parents watching from work follow the score, the court, and the play-by-play as it happens. No account, no app install.

Reports a coach can use Monday

Season leaderboards, hitting and passing rates, side-out by rotation, trends match over match, and starting-lineup comparisons. Printable, and downloadable as CSV.

Voice calls Beta

Hold the Talk button, say "kill twelve", let go: the tablet records the same stat the taps would have, so a scorer can keep her eyes on the court. It listens on the tablet itself, so it works with no signal and nothing is sent anywhere, and every button still works by hand. Turn it on under More on the tablet, where it is still marked experimental. How voice calls work.

AI set summaries

Between sets, read a short written summary of what just happened. The prompt carries jersey numbers and stats only, never an athlete's name.

Exports and imports

MaxPreps stat files and Hudl tagging XML come straight out of the event log. Coming from SoloStats or Rotate123? Import those matches and keep your season history.

Fast roster setup

Build a program roster once from a roster photo or sheet, then pull players onto Varsity and JV with their jersey numbers. The same athlete can play on both.

Privacy first, by default

These athletes are minors. Public pages show jersey numbers only unless your school turns names on, and that switch is an athletic department decision, not ours.

One account per program

Head coach, assistants, student managers and front office each get the access they need: admins manage settings and people, coaches correct the rally log and import old matches, managers score, viewers read reports.

How a season runs

  1. Step 1

    Set up the program

    Add your season, teams, players and jersey numbers, pick a rule set, and pair the bench tablet with a scan of one QR code.

  2. Step 2

    Score the match

    Set the lineup, then tap the rally: serves, attacks, blocks, digs, subs, liberos, timeouts, and undo when the whistle says otherwise.

  3. Step 3

    Read the numbers

    Box score on the bus, reports during the week, exports to MaxPreps and Hudl when the week is over.

Your numbers stay yours

If Pro lapses, every match, report and export stays right where it was. Only the Pro extras switch off.

One price for the whole program

$49 a year covers every team, coach and scorer in your program.

Careful with athletes' names

Set summaries see jersey numbers and stats only. A roster photo is read once to fill in your roster and is never kept or used to train anything.

Common questions

The four we are asked most. The help center's questions and answers covers the rest.

Does the scorer work without wifi in the gym?

Yes. The tablet records every tap as you make it and shows how many are still queued; when it finds a connection it catches up on its own. A crash or a flat battery loses nothing, and you come back to the same score, rotation and lineup.

Read the full answer

Does Freeball run on an iPad or on an Android tablet?

Both. The scorer is a web app you install to the home screen of a 7 to 8 inch iPad or Android tablet, with large touch targets and portrait or landscape scoring. There is nothing to install from an app store.

Read the full answer

Can families follow the match, and do the live pages show player names?

Families open a link and follow the score, the court and the play-by-play with no account and no app. Public pages show jersey numbers only. An admin can turn names on for your own players, and even then it is a first initial and a last name, never the opponent's.

Read the full answer

Can I get the stats into MaxPreps or Hudl?

Yes. A scored match exports a MaxPreps stat file you upload through the MaxPreps stat import as the coach for that team, and Hudl tagging XML, both built straight from the rally log.
