Sideline SaveFollow the shape of the play
Keep Sideline Save open and frame enough of the field to see the ball, passing options, and space ahead.
Youth soccer video for parents
Press record when the play heads toward goal. Your video will still have the pass that started it.
You don’t have to record the whole game to catch the best moments. Keep Sideline Save open and follow the action, then press record when an attack becomes worth saving.
Press record as the chance develops
The saved video can still begin with the pass or run that created it.
Catch a goalkeeper’s save
Keep the camera on your keeper. When the shot comes, press record and keep the buildup that made the save matter.
Keep the assist with the goal
Press record after the finish and the video can still include the pass or run that opened the defense.
The camera-roll problem
A goal lasts seconds. Recording the whole game lasts much longer.
With the built-in Camera app, you either start early and save long stretches of midfield play or wait and risk losing the pass, run, or turnover that created the chance.
Sideline Save lets you follow the game with the camera ready and decide later. When an attack moves toward goal, press record. If the buildup is still within your selected 5-, 10-, or 20-second window, the finished video begins with it. Keep recording through the shot, save, rebound, or celebration, then press stop.
One attack, three actions
Keep the buildup and the finish together.
Press record as the chance opens
The video starts with action already held by Sideline Save, including the earlier pass or run when it fits your selected window.
Press stop after the moment
Keep the shot, goal, save, rebound, and reaction, then save the finished video to Photos.
More than goals
Save the soccer moments that make the sideline react.
Goal or near miss
Press record as the attack becomes dangerous and keep the pass, run, shot, and reaction.
Big save
Press record when the shot develops and keep the buildup that shows why the save mattered.
Through ball or assist
Keep the decision and pass that opened the defense, not only the final touch.
Recovery tackle or clearance
Press record when danger appears and continue until the defense safely ends the play.
Game-day setup
Frame the space, not only the ball.
Soccer develops across a wide field. A little context makes the eventual shot or save much easier to understand.
- Start wide.Keep the ball carrier, likely passing option, and goal direction visible whenever your sideline position allows it.
- Use 20 seconds for developing attacks.The Soccer preset starts there so the video can retain more of the buildup before you press record.
- Keep recording through the reaction.The celebration, goalkeeper recovery, or teammates arriving often completes the story.
- Stay outside the technical and playing areas.Follow club and venue rules and never block a coach, official, player, or spectator for a better angle.
Common questions
How soccer recording works.
Does Sideline Save record the whole soccer game?
No. While the app is open, it keeps a short rolling window ready. A video is saved when you press record, continue through the play, and press stop.
Can the video include the pass before I pressed record?
Yes, when the pass falls within the 5-, 10-, or 20-second window you selected and Sideline Save was open with the camera ready.
Why does the Soccer preset start at 20 seconds?
Soccer attacks often develop through several passes or a long run. The longer starting window keeps more context, and you can switch to 5 or 10 seconds whenever you prefer smaller videos.
Where does the finished video go?
Sideline Save saves finished videos locally to your Photos library and organizes them in its Saved Videos view. It does not upload your sports footage to a Sideline Save account.
Keep the pass, the finish, and the reaction.
