About This Tool

🎯 Why This Tool Exists

Click to expand

The problem: Four years into coaching, I've learned that one of the biggest challenges isn't just managing the game but managing fair playing time.

Kids have boundless energy, but what happens more than them getting tired is them getting restless on the sidelines. It's incredibly tough to keep up with substitutions in your head while coaching, and that's where kids can accidentally get forgotten.

Every child deserves those moments of joy that come from being part of the action. This tool was born from that responsibility I feel as both a coach and a parent.

👥 Who Should Use This

Perfect for:

  • Recreational soccer coaches (any age group)
