Is Orange Slice a coaching app?
No. I built it as a soccer dad, not a coach. It doesn’t rate players, rank them, or tell anyone what to fix. A season is a thousand small moments — the first goal, the game a group of strangers finally became a team, the quiet car ride home — and by spring almost all of them are gone. Orange Slice catches them as they happen and turns them into the true story of that season: something your family keeps, season after season, long after the scores are forgotten.
Can I really get video of the big moments?
Yes — this is the part parents love most. A dad next to me once said “I hope you got that on video” after a breakaway, and of course nobody had: by the time you find your camera app, the moment is over. So there’s one big “Capture the moment” button right on the game screen. Tap it and you’re recording in about half a second. Tap again and it stops, and the clip is ready to save straight to your camera roll. No switching apps, and no losing your place in the game. The video is yours alone — it goes to your phone and never touches our servers.
How does tagging a game work?
One thumb, big buttons, while you’re still watching your kid play. Tap who did it, then what happened — goal, shot, save, defensive win. I built it to use from a cold sideline with one hand, and it keeps working when the signal drops.
How is the season story written?
From what you actually logged — every game you tagged and every moment you wrote down — and nothing else. An AI does the typing, but that’s the least of it. What makes it your season’s story is everything around the writing: rules I worked out line by line on my own daughter’s team’s season. Real names and real numbers. No invented feelings, no made-up quotes, no drama that didn’t happen. No ranking one kid against another, and nothing critical about a child, ever. Where the stats can’t see something — the heartbreak, the almost, what she said in the car afterwards — it asks you. You can correct it in plain conversation until it sounds like your season. And under every story is a list of exactly what it was built from, so you can check that it’s true.
What does it cost?
Tagging, stats, video and the season timeline are free for every game, all season. So is your story’s opening chapter, written from your first three games — or, if you only write Moments and never tag a game, from your first three days of them. The full season story, and a story of their own for each player, take a pass: a Season Pass is $39 for six months, and an Annual Pass is $69 for twelve — enough for a club team’s whole year, fall through spring. A pass is for one team, and either one is a single payment that simply ends, never a subscription. If it isn’t for you, I’ll refund it in full within 14 days, no questions asked.
What if my kids are on two different teams?
Then it’s two passes — two Season Passes are $78, or two Annual Passes are $138 for the year. I’ll be straight with you: there’s no family discount. Each team’s story is written and kept up to date from that team’s own games, and that writing is what a pass pays for, so the price follows the team. Everything free stays free on every team, including each team’s opening chapter. And if both kids play on the same team, that’s one pass, with a story of their own for each of them.
Is my child’s information private?
Yes. These are our kids, and I built it the way I’d want it for mine. Your season is visible only to you and the people you choose to share it with. No ads, nothing sold, and you can delete everything from Settings at any time.
Do I need to download an app?
No. It runs in your phone’s browser, and you can add it to your home screen like an app. You sign in with your Google account.
