LOCKED IN is a game-day communication and coaching platform built specifically for fastpitch softball. It brings pitch and location calls, offensive and defensive communication, targeted player communication, Shared Coaching, opponent scouting, Playbook tools, and decision support into one coaching workflow.

No. Pitch and location calling is one part of LOCKED IN. The platform also supports offensive and defensive communication, targeted calls, Shared Coaching, team and pitcher management, Playbook tools, opponent scouting, and optional decision-support features.

LOCKED IN supports pitch and location calls along with supported offensive and defensive instructions, giving coaches multiple game-day communication tools within the same workflow.

Yes. Coaches can target all connected watches, specific field positions, or a custom group so an instruction does not have to be sent to every player.

No. Targeted communication lets the coach choose who needs a supported instruction.

Players receive supported instructions through the LOCKED IN watch app on connected watches using the same local game-day Wi-Fi network.

No. LOCKED IN is not a scorekeeping system and does not maintain the game’s ball-and-strike count. When using AI Situation Builder, the coach can manually enter relevant game information—such as the inning, outs, runners, and score situation—to provide context for the recommendations.

No. Continue using your normal scorebook, scoring app, or tournament system. LOCKED IN is focused on game-day communication, coaching coordination, and decision support.

No. Normal pitch, location, offensive, and defensive communication does not require you to maintain the game’s count or continually enter game state. Situation information is entered when you choose to use features such as AI Situation Builder that need that context.

As with any electronic game-day communication system, coaches should maintain a backup communication method and be prepared to use it if the local network or a connected device becomes unavailable.

LOCKED IN is designed for game-day communication over a local Wi-Fi network. An active internet connection is not required for normal in-game communication between the host device and connected LOCKED IN watches. Internet access may still be needed for certain account, licensing, update, voice, or other online services outside normal game-day communication.

No. Cellular service is not required for normal local game-day communication. Connected LOCKED IN watches communicate through the local Wi-Fi network used for the game-day setup.

No traditional Bluetooth-style pairing process is required for the normal LOCKED IN game-day workflow. Watches connect to the same local Wi-Fi network and run the LOCKED IN watch app.

LOCKED IN has been developed and field-tested using Samsung Galaxy Watch4-series watches. These are the watches currently used during LOCKED IN development and live game-day testing. Additional smartwatch compatibility will be evaluated and documented as LOCKED IN approaches public launch.

No. LOCKED IN licensing does not include hardware, and you are not required to purchase watches directly from LOCKED IN. Before purchasing equipment specifically for LOCKED IN, check the current compatibility recommendations.

LOCKED IN is being prepared for supported Android and iOS devices. An official compatibility list will be published as LOCKED IN approaches public launch. Check the latest compatibility guidance before purchasing equipment specifically for LOCKED IN.

LOCKED IN uses a local Wi-Fi network for game-day communication. Development and field testing have included a GL.iNet Flint 2 router/access point as part of the local game-day setup. LOCKED IN does not require that specific router, and additional recommended network configurations will be documented as testing continues.

LOCKED IN needs a reliable local Wi-Fi network for game-day communication, but it is not limited to one specific router model. The GL.iNet Flint 2 is one configuration used during development and field testing. Additional setup recommendations will be provided as testing continues.

Supported device counts can depend on the approved hardware and network configuration. Official supported configurations will be documented before public launch.

Yes. The LOCKED IN coach application includes English and Spanish interface support.

Yes. LOCKED IN includes English, Spanish, and bilingual vocabulary options for supported voice workflows, helping bilingual coaching staffs use the terminology that fits their game-day communication.

LOCKED IN includes a Hands-Free Mode for supported voice workflows. Once voice operation is activated, Hands-Free Mode can keep the voice listener available for continued supported commands, reducing the need to repeatedly interact with the screen.

Yes. LOCKED IN supports Spanish vocabulary for supported voice commands, along with English and bilingual vocabulary modes.

Yes. Voice operation is optional and can be stopped or disabled when the coach does not want to use it.

Voice functionality may depend on the speech-recognition services available on the coach’s device. Requirements can vary by device and operating-system configuration, so voice operation should not be represented as guaranteed to work offline.

Yes. Shared Coaching allows connected coaches to participate in the same hosted coaching session over the local game-day network.

The hosted session has a main host, and Shared Coaching responsibilities can be assigned so connected coaches can participate in the workflow without turning every device into an independent game host.

Shared Coaching is designed so connected coaches can participate with assigned responsibilities during the hosted session. The exact responsibilities available depend on the current Shared Coaching configuration.

Normal Shared Coaching communication is designed around the same local game-day network rather than requiring an active internet connection for the in-game session. Online account, licensing, update, voice, or other services may still have separate connectivity requirements.

LOCKED IN includes Team Center tools for organizing teams and preparing them for game-day use. Licensing determines which teams are authorized for hosting, so coaches and organizations should select the licensing option that fits their number of teams.

For your own team, keep player information limited to what is necessary for game-day use, such as a player’s name and jersey number. Avoid entering unnecessary personal information about youth players.

Yes. LOCKED IN includes pitcher-management tools so coaches can organize pitchers and the pitch options used within the coaching workflow.

LOCKED IN includes Backup & Transfer tools for supported app data so coaches can preserve or move information when needed.

No. AI Assistance is decision support. The coach reviews the information, decides what fits the game, and remains responsible for the final call.

No. AI Assistance does not replace the coach’s final decision or automatically send a recommendation as the game call. The coach remains in control of what is sent.

No. LOCKED IN’s core game-day communication workflow can be used without AI Assistance.

The coach can manually provide relevant game context such as inning, outs, runners, score situation, and other available situation details so LOCKED IN can provide decision support for that scenario.

No. Situation information is entered when the coach chooses to use AI Situation Builder. It is not required for normal pitch, location, offensive, or defensive communication.

No. Applications are personally reviewed, and submitting an application or receiving approval alone does not guarantee or reserve a Founding Coach number.

Rules for electronic communication devices can vary by sanctioning body, league, tournament, age division, and event. Coaches are responsible for confirming the rules for their specific competition before using LOCKED IN during a game.

If electronic communication is not permitted, LOCKED IN should not be used for in-game communication at that event. Always follow the rules and instructions of the applicable sanctioning body, tournament director, and game officials.

LOCKED IN should not require coaches to enter unnecessary player contact information for the normal game-day workflow. For your own team, keep player information limited to what is necessary for game-day use, such as name and jersey number.
