GameCall automates your recurring sports group — signups, reminders, waitlists, and substitutes. Players just reply to a text.
The problem
Every week it's the same — 40 messages to get 8 confirmations. You're the organizer, not the secretary.
You send a message. Half the group reads it but doesn't reply. You send a follow-up. Another half. Now it's the night before and you're still counting heads.
Someone bails 2 hours before the game. You scramble through your contacts looking for a sub. The group chat erupts. Someone misses the game anyway.
Organizing a recurring group takes 20–30 minutes of your time every single week. That's over 24 hours a year just to answer "who's in for Thursday?"
Features
GameCall handles the logistics so you can focus on the game.
Players reply YES or NO to an SMS. GameCall tracks who's in, who's out, and keeps the roster current automatically.
Spot opens? The next person on the waitlist gets an instant text. No manual work. The roster fills itself.

Player drops last minute? GameCall instantly alerts the next sub or waitlisted player. The game stays full.
Set your house rules once. Every new player gets them automatically by SMS when they join — no onboarding calls needed.
Tennis, padel, basketball, soccer, pickleball, and more. Or create a custom sport. GameCall adapts to your game, not the other way around.

Zero weekly effortFrom organizers
That's kind of the point.
"I was spending 20 minutes before every game just confirming who was showing up. Now I check the app once and it's done. I don't know why I waited so long."
"The waitlist feature alone is worth it. My Thursday tennis group runs itself now. Someone drops, the next person gets a text instantly. I'm not even involved."
"Finally an app that works for players who don't want to download anything. My group is all in their 50s. They reply to texts. GameCall speaks their language."
