Download The MOJO App

We are excited to share a great resource for coaches (or aspiring coaches!) to utilize!

We’ve partnered with a youth sports coaching app called MOJO. MOJO is a one-stop coach-in-a-box app that will simplify practice plans, for those of you coaching, or provide inspiration for drills in the driveway. The app includes hundreds of activities designed by top coaches and child development experts, along with videos. For coaches, it will automatically build your team’s practice at the tap of a screen — customized to age, skill level and more.

Coaches (and families) can download the MOJO app for free, through our partnership with the platform. Once you create a profile, you can use MOJO's coaching tools for free, which includes an extensive library of practice activities and plans (if you would like, you can also choose to purchase a MOJO+ subscription to unlock at-home training).

Download MOJO for FREE

After you’ve set up a profile, please affiliate with Mudsock Youth Athletics on the app by following these instructions:

1. On the “Practice” tab, select “Team” in the top right corner of the app

2. Tap the gear wheel in the top right corner of the app

3. Under “Org Affiliation” search for “Mudsock”

4. Select “Mudsock Youth Athletics”

We believe this will be a game-changer for our coaches and players and we can’t wait to see it in action.

It is the policy of the Mudsock Youth Softball League that kids are not to play up or down an age group for the safety and enjoyment of the child and other children in the program. In the event that a parent believes that their child is developmentally at a competitive level above or below that of his/her age group and that it is in the best interest of the child and our program that that child play up or down an age group, Mudsock Youth Softball will grant such a request with the parent taking full responsibility for this decision and signing the waiver below.
