How CallHome works

Call the pitch.
Confirm it arrived.

CallHome sends the pitch and location one way from the coach's iPhone to the player's Apple Watch—then confirms the call was received.

One confirmed call.

Choose the active pitcher, select the pitch and location, then send. The player receives only the call, and the coach sees confirmation when it reaches the Watch.

RUN A PREGAME TEST

Confirm the Watch receives the calls before first pitch.

Use the pregame test from Settings. The coach app sends three test calls, waits for the Watch receipt, and confirms delivery.

  • Location lights up
  • Coach sees received

CALL THE PITCH

Select the pitcher, pitch, and location. Then send.

The player chooses how to receive the call: see the pitch and location grid on Apple Watch, hear a spoken call through connected AirPods, or feel distinctive Watch haptic feedback. The player, coach, and team can use the method that fits their game.

Rules reminder

In-ear audio may be limited to certain positions or prohibited by an event. Confirm AirPod use with the umpire or tournament director before first pitch.

STAY WITHIN THE RULES

Use only the receiver and game situation your rules permit.

One-way communication rules vary. Little League and current NFHS rules usually limit the receiver to the catcher, while PGF and USSSA rules differ. Device and in-ear audio permissions can also differ, so confirm both the receiver and receiving method with game officials.
