New Universal Version - Plan on your iPad, and take it to the game on your iPhone!
At Big Time Coach, we use our apps for each-and-every Game, Practice, Tryout, and Draft that we participate in. Our apps are continually used and refined to put the tools we've come to rely on in your hands.
Big Time Coach Baseball/Softball Game Planner brings you over 30 years of baseball management experience from the field to our latest app for the iPad. Each year coaches everywhere seek a better solution to managing the game experience, player experience and parent expectations. Game Manager delivers a great resource for coaches to assist you in managing your rosters before you even get to the game.
Game Planner also comes with built in reporting to track the number of innings each player plays by position. This is a great resource for league rules with position requirements for players by games and a great tool for coaches to share with parents concerned about playing time and player positions.
Big Time Coach Baseball/Softball Game Planner Features include:
- Game Roster Management.
- One touch communication to coaching staff on rosters before the game.
- Player inning tracking.
- Position tracking by player.
- Innings pitched by player tracking.
- Included in the Baseball/Softball Game Planner is the newly created Help Viewer developed by the Big Time Coach team. Making it easy for any user to quickly understand how to use and operate the app.
- TeamSnap® integration: Using TeamSnap®? Now create and update teams that you already have in Game Planner. This reduces setup time for a team to seconds.
- SportsEngine® integration: Is your league using SportsEngine®? Now create and update teams that you already have in Game Planner. This reduces setup time for a team to seconds.
- Not Just Baseball: We've added features for softball including 10 defensive players, softball field view, and now support for the DP/Flex rule used in Travel and High School Softball.
- AirDrop games between any iPad or iPhone with Game Planner UV.
- There so many more features in this app it's hard to list them all! Download the App today to get ready for the new season!
Use on your iPhone too!
All the features in our original iPad only version are available in the iPhone version. Now you can plan the game on your iPad, and AirDrop the game to your phone so that you will have the plan with you at the game.
If you need them, the iPhone version has all of the same functions available on the iPad, just scaled down for the iPhone format. However, the goal of the iPhone version is to be a complement to the iPad version rather than a standalone app. Still 100% functionality, just not as easy on the phone.
We are dedicated to providing coaches, parents and youth organizations everywhere the tools that they need to succeed.
Check out our family of apps: Practice Planner [Baseball, Soccer, and more on the way], Tryout & Draft, League Draft, Pitch Counter, and Injury Report on the App Store.

What's New in BB/SB Game Planner UV
1.3.0
May 19, 2022
Updated SportsEngine Integration!
Recently SportsEngine has changed the way Big Time Coach applications integrate with their API. Going forward, your Website Administrator must create a new API with the re-direct link from Practice Planner. Then the administrator can share the key with league Practice Planner users, and they may set up their integration.
This is based on policy changes for API usage at SportsEngine.
This new version now has views that allow you to use the API information from SportsEngine (Website Settings -> API Client Apps), and set up integration with SportsEngine.
This can be done in two ways on each device.
iPad:
1) Select "SportsEngine Integration" from the main Actions Menu in the Team Management view.
2) Select "Add Team", and choose "Import from SportsEngine"
iPhone:
1) Select "Help and Docs" from the navigation menu. Then select "SportsEngine Integration" in the Help and Information view.
2) Select "Add Team", and choose "Import from SportsEngine"
Note: Your SportsEngine website administrator must first setup the API entry for Game Planner and Game Planer UI in the website.
Full instructions for the API setup steps are provided in the Game Planner user Guide in the SportsEngine Integration chapter.
Once your Administrator has completed the API setup you will be able to integrate directly with your SportsEngine website.
Not use friendly, cannot move players to different positions in lineup
This is a poorly designed app. I paid money for an app that doesn’t work completely. I cannot assign multiple positions to one player. When attempting to create the lineup, the app doesn’t allow me to put players in other positions. Lacking a rhyme or reason, some players not assigned can be assigned a position where others cannot. For example, one player designated as a pitcher could not be placed as a pitcher where another player designated as a 3rd baseman and not a pitcher could be.
Very ooorly designed. Do not spend your money on this.

Response from developer
This review seems at odds with our feedback via the forum and emails. We have many, many coaches who have been using Game Planner since 2015 who have been extremely satisfied.
If you were to read the review, we would suggest trying it out first and if you are not very satisfied with with the app ask for a refund. Apple will process your refund immediately so no risk other than the time.
A good idea is to read the help documentation - included in the app - before diving too deeply into trying to use all of the app features. Finally, we have links in all of our applications for direct email feedback. We are happy to answer any and all questions, and of course we will address any bugs found by our users as quickly as possible.
