For parents

Know what your kid is playing in.

Sports Safe tells you when lightning is close to the field your kids play on and how hot it really is there, so you are never the last to know, whether you're on the sideline, in the stands, or still in the car.

What matters to you

Built for how you work

Lightning you can't see coming

If you can hear thunder, you are likely within striking distance. Sports Safe alerts you when a strike lands inside the radius you set, and tells you when 30 minutes have passed without one.

Heat that feels worse on the field

Heat index is measured in the shade. WBGT accounts for sun and wind too, which is why many athletic programs use it. Sports Safe estimates it for each field.

A new field every weekend

On any paid plan, monitor wherever you are standing for 3 hours at a tournament or away game.

What you get

The parts that help most

A critical Sports Safe notification: Clear the field now: Baseball Field2. Lightning 4 miles away. Get everyone to shelter. Wait 30 minutes after the last strike inside 15 miles.

On iPhone, once you allow them, clear the field alerts can sound even on silent or in Do Not Disturb.

FAQ

Common questions

My kid's coach already uses Sports Safe. Do I need a plan?

Can I use it at tournaments?

Yes. On any paid plan, Monitor my current location watches wherever you are standing for 3 hours.
