How it works
Free tools for grassroots coaches. No account. No subscription. Your data stays on your device.
The Tournament Planner
The Tournament Planner generates a fair squad rotation for a full tournament. You add your players with a position and ability rating, set up the tournament format, and hit Generate. The algorithm balances playtime, position coverage and ability across every game - then lets you edit manually if you need to.
- Works for 5v5 through to 11v11
- Handles mixed-position players (e.g. DEF/MID)
- GK always plays - handled automatically
- Manual override on any game slot
- Live sharing with a co-coach via session code
- Print-ready output for the touchline
The Football MatchDay Planner
The MatchDay Planner is for managing a single league or cup match. Set up your squad, generate fair lineups for halves or quarters, make substitutions, and log goals, assists and the final score. Currently in beta.
- Supports halves and quarter-game formats
- Priority player flags for players who need game time
- Saves lineups locally so you can refer back
- Match log: goals, assists, key moments, final score
- Export and import your squad between devices

Free session plans for U7–U16 grassroots football coaches. Each guide covers a full training session - warm-up, technical drill, small-sided game, free play and cool down - with pitch diagrams and coaching points. Each guide also has a print-to-PDF button for the touchline.
