Dad Sports Network Dad Sports Network

For iPad and iPhone

Film every game
like a pro.

One iPad or iPhone becomes a broadcast booth: a real scoreboard burned into the picture, instant replays, extra cameras, and your own clips — intros, player highlights, sponsor spots — rolled in live. Yeah, I know. This is awesome.

Do it all on the iPad — or run up to 4 devices — 3 cameras and 1 remote

Dad Sports Network running on iPad: a youth hockey game live, the scoreboard burned into the picture with a power play on the clock, and two aux camera feeds — a behind-the-net angle and two parents calling the game on DSN microphones.
The Dad Sports Network remote on iPhone, connected, showing both scores, shots, a penalty, the clock, Grab Replay, and the replay, clip, B cam and aux cam buttons.

One person can run it. More devices, more show. Up to four devices, one broadcast: this one films, a phone runs the scoreboard while you stay on the play, and two more become AUX 1 and AUX 2 — you cut between angles live. Pair a device once and it finds the game on its own after that, and any phone can switch between camera and remote. No iPad? An iPhone runs the whole booth on its own.

Call the game like it’s on TV.

Live to your YouTube channel at 1080p — scoreboard, replays, commentary and all.

See it

Choose your sport, create your teams, customize your board…
…then press record.

Pick from six sports, load your team's names, colors and logos, and pick one of five board designs. Replays and clips at the touch of a button. Every frame below came straight out of the app with the scoreboard already burned into the picture.

Across the top

Clips and Replays open their bins. Grab Replay takes the last ten seconds, and any replay in the bin can go straight to a group text, with sound. Go Live starts the stream, Board hides the scoreboard for a moment, Setup is everything else. The recording timer and the live mic meters sit to the left, so you can see the audio is really arriving.

Down the sides

Score for each team, big enough to hit without looking. Under them, whatever that sport actually tracks — shots, penalties and the power play for hockey and lacrosse, downs and timeouts for football, timeouts for basketball, and the bases, the count and the pitch count for baseball.

Along the bottom

The clock, with −5 and +5 for when you were late on the whistle, the period button, and record. Nothing is more than one tap away, because a menu during a game is a goal you missed.

The clip bin

Intros. Players. Sponsor spots.

Load your own video before the game — a player card for every kid, a season intro, the sponsor's spot — and roll it live in one tap. The scoreboard steps aside while it plays and comes back when it's done.

File clips into groups you name yourself — Players Show Sponsors — and they stay on the iPad all season. A grid when you find things by looking, a list when you find them by name.

The clip bin open over a live hockey game: a grid of thumbnails filed into Players, Show and Sponsors groups, each with a one-tap ROLL button.
The bin, mid-game — thirty clips filed, one tap from air

How it stacks up

The most features, for the least money.

Priced against the other apps that put a scoreboard on youth sports video. Same job, on the iPad or iPhone you already own, for a quarter of what the closest one charges to unlock everything.

Competitor pricing checked August 2026 from each company’s own published material and App Store listings. Each figure is the cost to unlock everything that company offers for a year: ScoreCam’s Branding + Live Stream tier, GameChanger’s Premium tier, sidelineHD’s sidelinePRO. All three have a free or cheaper tier that does less. Blank cells mean we could not confirm the feature either way, not that it is missing. If any of this goes out of date, tell us and we will fix it.

On purpose

What it doesn't do.

A camera app that films children has no business collecting anything. So it doesn't. Everything below is a design decision, not a feature we haven't gotten to.

Why this exists

Built by a hockey dad, for hockey dads…
…(and all sports parents).

Kyle on the ice in a Dad Sports Network jersey, with his son in Jr. Kings gear.

I've stood in a cold rink at 6 a.m. holding a phone sideways, and what I got back was two hours of shaky video where you can't tell who's winning, what period it is, or whether that goal was the one everybody stood up for.

That's not a game. That's footage. So I built the thing I wanted in my hands: one iPad, one tripod, and a broadcast that a grandmother in another state can watch and follow. Youth sports has been filmed like an afterthought for twenty years. It deserves better than a phone held sideways.
