Throw it up on the clubroom projector and the room does the rest. The wall cycles the featured lot, counts down each wave, tracks the goal and streams every new bid as it lands — no one has to refresh a thing.

Yes, it really moves — this is a recording of a live wall, running on its own.

Born on the sideline.
Built for the crew.

Hi — I'm Simon, an Auckland dad with sons in rugby. And if you know rugby, you know the drill: every season a tour, every tour a fundraising target, and between you and that target a mountain of BBQs, bake sales, car washes and raffles.

I ran those fundraisers the way everyone does — a spreadsheet, a group chat, and a phone that never stopped. Chasing the same five parents. Refilling shifts at 10pm. Copying names between tabs and hoping nothing got lost. After doing it season after season, I decided the sideline deserved better tools.

So I built SidelineCrew: one app where the roster lives, parents grab and swap their own spots, and a little friendly XP competition keeps the whole crew in the game. It started as a fix for one team's fundraiser — now it's how whole clubs hit their goals, with less admin and more time actually watching the kids play.
