SidelineIQ

March Madness is here! Learn basketball rules, pick-and-rolls, and bracket strategy before tip-off. Also: football + baseball. 3 sports, 129 lessons, 3 min/day.

Stop pretending you know what just happened.

Sideline IQ teaches you football in 3-5 minutes a day — so you can actually follow the game, understand the penalties, and know why everyone just cheered (or groaned).

BUILT FOR REAL BEGINNERS Whether you're watching with friends, joining your partner on the couch, or trying to understand your kid's games, Sideline IQ meets you where you are. No judgment, no jargon — just clear explanations that stick.

HOW IT WORKS • Take a 60-second placement quiz to find your starting point • Complete short daily lessons (3-5 minutes each) • Learn concepts you'll actually notice during games • Track your progress with XP, streaks, and achievements

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN • Downs, distance, and why teams punt • The most common penalties, explained in plain English • What the announcers assume you already know • Basic strategy so you can follow the flow of the game • Why plays get called back and when the defense "wins"

THREE LEARNING TRACKS • Fundamentals: Start here if you've never watched a full game • Game Day Ready: Know the basics? Learn to read what's happening • Strategy (Coming Soon): Go deeper with formations, play-calling, and the "why" behind the game

DESIGNED TO ACTUALLY WORK Sideline IQ uses the same learning science behind apps like Duolingo — short lessons, spaced repetition, and instant feedback. You'll remember what you learn because you'll see it immediately when you watch.

NO ACCOUNT REQUIRED Jump right in. Your progress saves automatically on your device. Create an account later if you want to sync across devices.

WHAT'S NEXT We're working on a Strategy track for fans who want to go deeper — formations, play-calling, and the "why" behind the game. It's coming soon.
