Rizzler for Travel Ball Assistant Coaches
Travel ball assistant coaches do more than fill a roster spot. You're charting pitches, scouting the opponent's pitcher, warming up relievers in the bullpen, running the scorebook, and relaying signals — sometimes all in the same inning. Rizzler keeps you organized so you can focus on coaching instead of paperwork.
Your Role on a Travel Team
The head coach makes strategic calls — pitching changes, lineup decisions, game-time adjustments. You handle the operational layer. On a travel team playing 40-60 games a year, that operational layer is the difference between a professional organization and a disorganized one.
Rizzler gives you the tools to run that layer from your phone: in-game scoring, pitch charting, bullpen tracking, and real-time access to the game plan the head coach built.
How Rizzler Helps Travel Assistants
During practice: Chart bullpen sessions for every pitcher. Record pitch locations, types, and results. When the head coach asks "how did Marcus look in the bullpen Tuesday?" you have data, not a vague memory.
Before the game: Review the game plan on your phone. Know the pitching rotation, the fielding assignments, and the matchup data if your team uses in-game intel.
During the game: Score each at-bat, track pitch counts, and monitor playing time from the dugout. When the head coach turns to you and asks "how many pitches has he thrown?" — you answer instantly.
Between tournament games: Check updated pitcher availability. If the game-one starter threw 58 pitches, Rizzler shows the rest day impact and who's available for game two. Relay that information to the head coach so the next game plan adjusts.
Tournament Weekend Execution
During a tournament weekend, the assistant coach is the information hub. Between games, you're the one who knows:
- Cumulative pitch counts for the day (back-to-back game tracking)
- Which pitchers are available for the next game
- Which players haven't played enough to meet minimum requirements
- Where defensive fatigue is building up (especially catchers)
All of this is in Rizzler, updated in real time from the scoring and pitch counting you did during the game.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I join the head coach's team in Rizzler?
The head coach sends an invite from their Rizzler account. You accept it, and you're in — full access to the roster, schedule, game plans, and scoring tools.
Can I score the game while the head coach plans the next move?
Yes. That's the most common workflow on travel teams. The head coach focuses on strategy and player management. The assistant scores, tracks pitches, and manages the data layer. Rizzler supports both roles on the same team simultaneously.
Do I need my own subscription?
If the head coach has a Pro or League & Club plan, you access all features through their team. You don't need a separate paid subscription.
Can I chart bullpen sessions on my own?
Yes. Bullpen tracking is available from your account. Chart a bullpen session, and the data appears in the team's pitch history — the head coach can review it from their device.
