Kickd: Sports Coach App

Rotation pools arrive for every sport, senior netball gets rolling substitutions, and AFL gets the Inside 50 numbers serious teams track. ROTATION POOLS, EVERY SPORT Tag each player with the positions they play, from your Team tab, and substitutions pair within them: a winger comes on for a winger, a front rower for a front rower. Now on soccer, hockey, netball, oztag, touch football, rugby union and water polo, joining AFL. Rotations and auto-fill meet a tagged preference first whenever that position is up, specialists get their spot ahead of utility players, and the bench shows each player's tags so manual picks are easy too. The rotation alert lists the exact swaps it is about to make before you tap Rotate Now, with a clear flag when nobody on the bench covers a position. Pools never block a substitution: a short bench still rotates, and fairness still decides who comes on. Players who share a name are now easy to tell apart on every screen. NETBALL ROLLING SUBSTITUTIONS Senior and Opens netball comps that play rolling subs can now switch them on from the Season screen: rotation alerts, a next-rotation card built on bibs rather than shirt numbers, and rotation pools on the three thirds, Shooter, Midcourt and Defender. Junior netball keeps its quarter-by-quarter planner exactly as it was. WATER POLO KEEPERS Senior goalkeepers no longer appear in automatic rotations; a keeper change is always your call. Junior teams still take turns in goal, FlippaBall included. AFL ADVANCED STATS Log an Inside 50 for either team with one tap from the live field, and Kickd works out your scoring rate per entry, so you can see whether you are using your supply or bombing it away. After every goal it asks who won the centre bounce, and one tap credits the winner. At every quarter break, on Results, and in match history you get the INSIDE 50s card: entry differential, scoring rate for both teams, the per-quarter split and your centre clearance record. Tap it for an entry by entry breakdown showing where each one started: the centre bounce, a kick-in, a turnover or general play. A score logged without its Inside 50 still counts, so your numbers stay honest. On by default for U13 and above. Coaching a rep pathway junior team? Switch on EXTENDED STATS on the Season screen to unlock it for U10 to U12, along with marks, kicks, handballs, possessions and tackles. The AFL lineup screen now matches the live oval and uses the full screen. HANDS FREE WITH KICKD CALLOUT Call the new AFL stats instead of tapping them: say "inside fifty" or "centre clearance seven" and Kickd logs it while you keep watching the game. Callout is an add-on and needs a boom microphone headset.
