What changed in Ramp Up Athlete, newest first.

Workouts that plan themselves, and the whole game on game day
- This week’s workouts. Practice › Drills › My week builds a plan from your schedule, age, positions, arm feel, sleep, injuries and school: strength, speed and agility, light days and rest, never heavy legs within two days of a game. Mark a test week and it gets shorter. Change any day by hand and the rest of the week adjusts.
- Fitness library. 46 exercises for agility, speed, strength, holds, mobility, jumps, core and arm care, each checked for your player’s age.
- Game-day routine. A checklist from the night before to the post-game meal, timed back from first pitch.
- Game day: hitting and fielding. Next to the pitch clicker: one tap per at-bat, runs, steals, putouts, assists, errors and catcher stats, straight into the box score.
- Coach’s eye. Video checks the camera can’t measure now ask a plain coach question, show what good looks like, and accept “Can’t tell”.
- Schedule from a picture. Snap a printed schedule, a flyer or a tournament bracket. Or pull games from a calendar already on your phone.
- Trim video in the app. Pick a long video, even a whole game, and the app marks every swing or pitch it sees. Tap one to cut it at full quality, or save them all as clips.
- A better start. New accounts are asked how they’ll use the app (parent, coach, both, or joining their family), and the other parent can join with a family code from Menu › Invite a parent. Invite links fill in the code.
- Your team’s usual week. Travel, Little League, school or other: the app asks when games and practices usually happen, can fill in the weekly practices, and plans workouts from it when the schedule is empty.
- Coaches: “Add a team”, put your own player on a team you start, and “Start next season” to carry families over. Imports now also read iScore stats and Stalker radar files.

Less typing, smarter video
- The schedule fills itself. Paste your team’s GameChanger, TeamSnap or SportsEngine calendar link, or connect GroupMe, and games and practices appear and stay up to date. You can also paste a coach’s message.
- Logs fill themselves. A new game takes its date and opponent from the schedule and its pitch count from the Game day clicker. Practice has “Same as last time”.
- Coach-ready score. Each swing, pitch or play gets a 0–100 score from what the camera could measure, with how sure it is.
- Better video reading. The app finds the real swing in a long clip, fixes the AI mixing up left and right legs, corrects for filming at an angle, and works through cages and fences.
- Weather at the field. Forecasts for games in the next 3 days, with plain tips for storms, heat and cold.
- Calendar button on every game, Continue with Google to sign in, a Hide guide option when recording, and Help & FAQ inside the app.

A new look, and safer by default
- Night game look. Dark by default with one bright accent, scoreboard-style titles and numbers, and a Day option for bright sun.
- Log from anywhere. The + button in the middle of the bottom bar logs a game, practice, pitch count or video.
- Pitching status first. “Can pitch today?” is now the first card on Today and always shows the strictest of every rule you use.
- Player mode locked down. Kids can do their tasks, rate their arm and film clips, but can’t change or delete entries. Wrong PINs pause, and there’s a Forgot PIN option.
- Camera zoom. Pinch or slide to zoom, and “Fit to line” puts the player’s feet on the guide line.
- Stronger team privacy. Longer team codes, and only the family can change what a coach sees.

Teams, game day and Player mode
- Teams across families. Coaches start a team; families join with a code and choose what to share.
- Coach tools. Who-can-pitch board, schedule with calendar export, fair lineup builder and practice plans with homework.
- Game day. A live pitch counter with the limit on screen, the weather where you are, and a 30-minute lightning timer.
- Whole-practice logging. Hitting, throwing, fielding, bullpen, base running and more, each with quick counts.
- Daily check-in, streaks and badges, plus bat and glove sizing and season costs.
- Highlight reel made on the phone, drawing on video in Compare, and Pocket Radar / Blast / Rapsodo imports.
- New name: Ramp Up Athlete.

Video checks that hold up on real parent video
- Record with guide. A head-to-toe box, ground line, level check and a live outline of the player.
- Better key moments on slow-motion, panning and from-behind clips, with automatic clean-up for dark, far-away or through-the-net video.
- Share with the coach. A report card image, clip links and season exports.
