🏑 About the App
Field Hockey Tracking (NCAA) is an iOS app built for field hockey parents, fans, and coaches who want more than a score notification. Add any NCAA program running on the Sidearm Sports platform and get direct access to schedules, results, player statistics, goalkeeper performance, and penalty corner data — pulled automatically from each school's official athletics site.
Two home screen widgets keep you up to date between app opens: one for your team's next game, and a goalkeeper stats card that shows season and last-game numbers at a glance.

🕷️ Spiders and ants...or, BUGS ›
- GK widget requires the school to publish goalkeeper-specific stats (GA, GAA, SV%). Some D1 programs don't — widget will remain empty for those schools.
- A small number of D1 schools use JavaScript-rendered stats pages the app cannot yet parse — schedule and results load normally.
- Backup goalkeepers with limited minutes may appear in the field player list at some D1 schools.
- Historical game results (schedule tab in Season History) cannot be retrieved through the app's data source — Sidearm's schedule pages are JavaScript-rendered and can't be parsed directly. Tap Open in Browser to view past schedules on the school's website.
🗺️ Planned Features ›
