At practice, fully with the team
Practice, match day, swimming lessons: wherever your child does sport, TaskBlue can lock the apps. You set the pitch or the gym as a place once. Games and social media disappear on arrival and come back when they leave.
Sound familiar?
There's scrolling in the changing room and on the bench, and half the team is missing from the warm-up because a video is still playing. Some coaches now collect the phones. Your child actually wants to play. They just need a limit that isn't up for debate every time.
How to set it up
- 1
Set the pitch or gym
Search for the club on the map. A radius between 150 and 300 metres usually covers the pitch, the changing room and the car park.
- 2
Add more places
Up to 20 places can be active at once. Regular away grounds or the swimming pool are set up the same way.

Before practice via the calendar
If practice is in the calendar, focus can start beforehand. Then homework is done by the time the bag is packed. The BlueTag comes with both plans.
What works well
Talk to the coach
If the team knows the apps lock by themselves at the ground, nobody has to collect phones anymore.
Keep the phone app open
Leave Phone and Messages out of the selection. Then your child can let you know when they need picking up.
Away games start at the venue
If your child rides to an away game with others, focus only starts at the saved place. On the way, nothing changes.
Ask after the game
Ask your child after the game whether anything felt different. That way they notice for themselves what the rule does.
And the sea?
Two practices and a match a week easily add up to five hours at the ground. That funds the recovery of about 500 g of ocean plastic.
Frequently asked
Does my child have to open TaskBlue before practice?
No. As soon as the iPhone reaches the place, focus starts, even with the app closed. For that, TaskBlue needs location access set to "Always".
What if practice ends early?
When your child leaves the place, focus ends by itself.
Can I see whether my child is at practice?
No. TaskBlue shows you no location; it only uses the place on your child's iPhone. If you're looking for location sharing, our comparison with Family Link helps.
