Features
Everything the booth needs.
Sideline DJ is a one-tap soundboard built around a real youth hockey game. Here's every part of it, from the roster you set up at home to the song after the final buzzer.
Roster and announcements
A call for every player.
Add your team once. Every player gets a voiced announcement, created automatically.
- Add players
- One at a time or in bulk. Reorder to match your lineup.
- In or out
- Mark who's playing tonight. Only those players show up in the scorer picker.
- Hear it first
- Tap play next to any player to hear their call, and record it again if it needs another take.
- Ready check
- See at a glance that every announcement is ready before you leave for the rink.
Team identity
Sounds like your team.
Your team name on the PA, said the way your team says it.
- Announced as
- Use a nickname like T-Birds on the PA, with a pronunciation hint.
- Goal horn
- Eight horns: Classic, Arena, Ship, Truck, Ferry, Boat, Industrial and more. Hear each one and pick yours.
- Home or away
- Tell the app whether it's your rink before the game starts.
- Call wording
- Five team-first goal calls and two assist calls, rotated through the game, the same for every player.
Music by moment
The right song, right now.
Connect Apple Music, pick at least three genres, and Sideline DJ chooses songs for each moment from a library curated for youth sports. You can also play your own music files.
- Hype song
- Warm-up energy before puck drop. Tap again for another.
- Goal song
- Plays after the horn and the call. Change song swaps it without a second horn.
- Penalty
- A short penalty song while the player heads to the box.
- Faceoff
- A short song until the puck drops.
- Breaks
- One song per tap between periods. Back to play fades it out.
- Final
- A victory song for a win. A mellow good-game song for a loss, a tie or a big win.
Game flow
Follows the game.
The screen moves through Pre, P1, Break, P2, Break, P3 and Final. Each phase only shows its own moments.
- Thumb zone
- Goal, Opponent, Penalty and Faceoff sit where your thumb rests during play.
- Fade & Stop
- One button to bring the music down when play restarts.
- Live score
- The score counts itself from your taps. Undo sits under each team's score.
- Assists
- One more tap after the goal call credits the assist, or mark it unassisted.
Youth protections
Safe for kids' games.
Locked clean filter
Youth divisions lock the explicit filter on across the app, search and custom playlist.
Silent opponent goals
The other team's goals are counted and nothing plays. The music fades.
Blowout mode
At a four-goal lead the horn and call-outs switch off by themselves. One tap turns them back on.
Same call for all
Five rotating goal-call wordings, the same for every player. No one is singled out.
Age groups
Pick birth years or a division like U7 to U18. The right protections turn on.
Handshake song
A loss or tie gets a mellow song for the handshake line, never a victory anthem.
Reliability
Built for the rink.
Offline horn and calls
Saved to your phone, so they play without a connection.
Do Not Disturb check
A reminder before the game so notifications don't hit the speakers.
Test run and reset
Practise, then reset to 0-0. Test games stay out of your history.
