For softball & baseball teams
Every sign.
Every player.
Every field.

How it works
One Tap. All Signs.
Your base station broadcasts
The base station sends the call out on your team's private, encrypted channel.
Every watch buzzes
Every player's watch vibrates and shows the sign — under a second from tap to wrist.
What you get
Built for a full season of abuse.
Meet the player watch
It isn’t a smartwatch and it isn’t a distraction. Each player wears a dedicated, one-way receiver — no apps, no texts, no notifications. It does one job: the moment you tap a sign, it buzzes and shows the call in big, bold letters a player reads in a glance.
- All‑day battery
- 500–1,000 signs per charge
- Buzz + big on‑wrist text
Under a second
Tap to buzz in well under 1 second. Fast enough for a pitch clock, fast enough for a steal sign.
Encrypted for your team
Every team runs on its own encrypted channel. Opposing dugouts hear noise; only your players hear the call.
No Wi-Fi, no cell service
CoachSigns runs on its own private radio. Hang the base in your dugout or drop it in your pocket — it works at any field or location.
All-day battery
Watches run all day on a charge. Pro watches go about twice as long for tournament weekends.
Three themes. Every player picks their look.
Each watch has three built-in display themes. A quick press-and-hold on the screen cycles between them, so every player can set their watch to the style they like — same instant signs, their style.

Straight answers
Questions coaches ask
How long does it take to set up?
The first time, about 15 minutes — unbox, charge, pair each watch, type in your calls. On game day, you power everything on and you're going in under a minute.
Do I need an app? How do coaches connect?
Yes — CoachSigns runs on a free app, available now for iPhone, iPad, and Android. Setup is a quick one-time pair: plug your phone or tablet into the base with a USB cable and the app pairs on its own. After that it connects automatically over Bluetooth whenever you open the app — no Wi-Fi network to join, no accounts, no subscriptions.
How many players can it handle?
Unlimited. The system has been tested with 24 watches running together and can support more — add as many as your roster needs. No per-seat licensing or software limit.
Can the other team steal our signs?
No. Every team runs on its own encrypted channel. Another dugout with the same gear can't read your calls. Opposing coaches with binoculars can't either — there's nothing to see.
How do players know which sign came through?
The watch buzzes and the call appears on the screen in large text. Players glance at the wrist like they would any smartwatch.
What if a watch breaks?
Send us a note through the feedback form. Replacements are available at the same price. We also help troubleshoot remotely before you need to send anything back.
How do I get firmware updates?
Free firmware updates roll out through the CoachSigns app — both base station and player watches. Open the app, head to Settings → Firmware, and tap Update when one's available. No cables, no developer tools, no manual downloads. Just keep each watch nearby and powered on while it updates, and do your watches before your base.
Can I try before I buy?
Yes — send us a note through the feedback form and we'll arrange a demo or put you in touch with a nearby team already using CoachSigns.
