Batches, attendance, fees, and the parents asking about all three. Skipper takes the running of a cricket academy off your notebook and out of your WhatsApp.
The only cricket app that runs the academy too. Free for your first three months.
Attendance in a notebook that lives in a kit bag. Fees chased one parent at a time, on a Sunday. A register that nobody can find when a parent asks how many sessions their son actually attended last month. New enquiries arriving as a phone number on a WhatsApp status.
None of it is coaching, and all of it takes your evenings.
Skipper handles it, so you can go back to the nets.
Not a scoring app with a coaching tab bolted on. The operations of an academy, built properly, next to the cricket.
Set up your batches with their days and timings, put students in them, and let coaches mark attendance in one tap from the ground.
Put students on a fee plan, add a discount where you need to, raise a bill, and let parents pay in the app. The money reaches your bank account.
A public page in your own words, listed in a directory parents can search by city. Enquiries land in one inbox instead of a phone number in a status.
Your students are Skipper players. Every match they score builds a record you and their parents can actually look at.
Build your batches once and the week runs itself. Coaches mark the session from the ground, and it is done before the warm-up finishes.
The part every academy owner dreads. Fees now collect themselves, and you can see where you stand without opening a bank app.
Written by you, not guessed at by us. No invented ratings, no made-up student counts, and no coach listed until they have agreed to it themselves.
The things that sit around the batches, handled in the same place rather than in three different chats.
This is the part no academy software can match, because it is the rest of Skipper. Your students are players, and everything they do on a Sunday is already here.
An afternoon to set up, and you are running the next session from it.
Parents get their own view of the academy, so the questions you used to ask on WhatsApp answer themselves.
Skipper is newer than the apps you have heard of, and it is moving faster than all of them. New grounds, new leagues and new academies join every week, and the app ships something new most weeks to keep up.
District cricket associations run their official tournaments and leagues on Skipper, from player registration and fixtures through to live scoring and the points table.
The Headlight Cricket series at Turf 39 in Tiruppur has crossed its 310th edition. Late-night box cricket, every week, scored on Skipper.
Matches and auction nights go out live on YouTube from the app, overlay and all. You can watch them yourself rather than take our word for it.
Built offline-first because grounds have bad networks. A full innings scores with no connection at all and syncs itself when the phone finds one.
Every number on our home page is counted ball by ball from matches actually played. No install counts, no vanity metrics, nothing rounded up.
The cricket itself is always free.
Scoring is free. Player stats and analysis are free. Streaming to YouTube is free. Running a tournament is free. Everything your students do on the field costs nothing, today or ever.
The academy side, batches, attendance, your public page, announcements, one-to-one bookings and fee collection, is free for your first three months, and a monthly fee after that. Three months is a full season of batches, so you will know whether it saves you your evenings before you pay for it.
Separately, if you collect fees from parents in the app, a small platform fee covers what the payment gateway charges, and it is shown before any money moves.
Tap-on-field scoring. Live broadcasts. Insights pros pay for. Skipper is the cricket app cricketers actually want to use.
