## What is Coach's Clock?

Keep track of your players' time on the field with Coach's Clock.

Designed with input from a youth soccer coach who manages multiple teams each season, Coach's Clock is a very simple application that runs on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. It keeps track of all of the players on your team, where they are supposed to be on the field, and how long they've been playing since they were last substituted into the game.

Just enter in your team name and your player roster. Drag your players on and off the field and tap the clock to start it running. Players on the field accrue elapsed time. Players off the field do not. It's that simple.

What Coach's Clock does:

* It tracks how much time has elapsed in the current play period.
* It tracks the position of every player on your team.
* It keeps track of how long each player has been on the field.
* It helps you plan player substitutions.
* It has field backgrounds for basketball, field hockey, football, hockey and soccer but it could also be used for any similar sport.
* It supports an unlimited number of teams.
* It has detailed usage instructions right inside the app.
* It's a "universal app" so one purchase is good for all your iDevices!

What it doesn't do:

* Coach's Clock doesn't force you to keep the app running throughout your game. You are free to close it, open other apps, take phone calls, or whatever you like. You only need to run it when you want to refer to it or when you need to make a change. The clocks keep time even when the app isn't running.
* Coach's Clock is not a replacement for your whiteboard or playbook. (There are plenty of other fine apps which can do that for you.)

Coach's Clock may seem like a pretty simple app, and it is! But that's the beauty of it. It doesn't try to do everything for you; instead it tries to do a few essential things very well. It doesn't try to change the way you coach your team; it just makes your job a little easier.

### 1/5 — App crash

*2024-04-03*

Absolutely terrible. Paid for the app and downloaded. Opens and then immediately closes again. Deleted and reinstalled, same problem. Deleted, shut down the phone, reinstalled, same problems

### 5/5 — Top app for sub management

*2021-09-16*

I’ve tried all the soccer/coaching apps, and this one is the very best for managing substitutions in youth soccer games. Here’s why:

* Simple interface
* Fast performance
* Multi-player subs are easy
* You can show parents the playing time stats at the end of the game if they complain about their kid’s playing time.

### 5/5 — Thank you!

*2020-09-27*

I coach without assistants a 9v9 side with 16 ten and eleven year olds. Thank you for saving my sanity with this app!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2019-11-17*

Love this app. Makes life so much easier to arrange positions and to manage subs. I use it several times a week to manage both junior and senior squads of field hockey.

### 5/5 — Simplicity is beauty

*2019-10-26*

One of the easiest apps to use that does what I need.  If you want to keep track of players’ on field time and make substitutions with ease, this is the app you want.  Even the instructions are well written.

### 5/5 — Simple, straightforward, even helpful for the players.

*2018-08-17, version 1.3.2*

I’ve been using this app for years. Even just recommended it to the Parks and Rec director to pass on. I highly recommend this for game positioning, substitutions and play time. Very simple and straightforward. Can be used for other sports and teams sizes, also, so nice. The players really like it too because they can actually see their positions/substitutions like on a white board, for those who are more visual. 

I definitely give it 5-stars. Although nearly perfect, I do wish it could keep score. Silly, but it would still be nice. Also, available in the Android store would make it universal to any assistant coaches. And yes, I take my iThings out in the rain. My pocket has done fine drying so far, and Apple hardware is awesome, but they make a good point about carrying a ziplock bag with you. One more thing in the coach’s bag.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2018-05-05*

Thanks for building a simple easy to use app. I coach 2 soccer teams and this has been a lifesaver, especially when I don’t have an assistant to help with clock and sub management.

### 4/5 — Great for 2 things

*2017-04-29*

Works well for tracking time played and remembering the assigned positions which can be tough with younger players. Adding the ability to track goals would be a nice simple addition so a coach could see who scored and when.

### 5/5 — Really cool

*2017-03-25*

Love this app! It makes it so easy keep kids' playing time equal and keep track of who I need to sub.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2016-11-04*

Want an auto substitution app
