## What is Kickd?

Kickd is the sports coach app for Australian community leagues. One app for ten
sports — soccer, rugby league, AFL, hockey, netball, basketball, rugby union,
touch football, oztag and water polo — your complete match-day coaching tool,
from U6 to Opens.

Running a team — junior or senior — means juggling substitutions, fair playing
time, recording scores, and keeping everyone informed, all while actually trying
to watch the game. Kickd is your sports team manager, substitution tracker, and
live match timer in one simple app. Works 100% offline, perfect for the park.

Ten sports. One app:
• Soccer — live field view, goal tracking, keeper rotation, playing time
• Rugby League — tries, conversions, tackles, plus senior possession,
  completion % and set tracking with interchange planning
• AFL — marks, goals, behinds, handballs, quarter rotations
• Hockey — goals, rotation alerts, sin bin, season leaderboards
• Netball — live court positions, quarter assignments, U6–Opens rules
• Basketball — starting five, quarter play, points, rebounds and fouls
• Rugby Union — tries, conversions, penalty goals, live lineup
• Touch Football & Oztag — unlimited rolling subs, touchdowns, fair rotation
• Water Polo — quarters or FlippaBall halves, live pool positions

For coaches — the complete sports coaching app:
• Live match timer with automatic team rotation alerts
• Substitution tracker — who's on and off with timestamps
• Live field and court view — see who's playing where, tap to swap positions
• Playing time tracker so every player gets fair minutes
• Halftime or quarter-time lineup summary
• Record scoring events in real time — undo if needed
• Player of the Match — you pick yours after the whistle, hidden until full time
• Awards your way, by sport and age:
   – Junior soccer & rugby league: parents vote on their own child's behalf
   – Junior AFL, hockey & netball: parents vote Player of the Match + Runner-Up
   – Seniors (U13–Opens): players vote 3-2-1 into a season leaderboard —
     ages 13–18 need a parent's consent to get an account, Opens just sign in
• Advanced senior match tracking — possession, tackle counts and set-by-set
   completion for rugby league U13+ and Opens
• Full season stats: minutes, scores, Best and Fairest awards
• Presentation night ready — every game feeds the season leaderboard
• Assistant coach support — your match tracker logs the action live so you coach
• Full iPad support — run the match from your iPad
• Works completely offline

For parents — completely free:
• Join your child's team with a unique invite code
• See the live lineup and who's on the field
• Vote in junior leagues — Player of the Match (and Runner-Up), never your own child
• In senior teams you follow the game live — for players aged 13–18 you give
  consent so they get their own account to vote 3-2-1 and view their stats
• Results revealed the moment the coach ends the game

Safe for everyone
Parents sign in with Google or Apple — no anonymous accounts. Parents can't vote
for their own child. Players aged 13–18 only get their own account — to vote and
view their stats — once a parent gives consent. Opens players are adults and sign
in themselves. Under-13s are always parent-managed.

Built for Australian sport — junior and senior
Age groups U6 to Opens. Autumn/Winter and Spring/Summer seasons. Age-specific
rules for every sport and age group.

Soccer team manager. Rugby league coach app. Netball team manager. AFL coach app.

### 5/5 — Best app for sport

*2026-07-16*

I have been using this app for the pass month for my Mini Rugby League team and has helped heaps with keeping tabs on attendance with training and game day. Keeps
all the stats and time played of all your players ( good for grumpy parents ).
I will be using this app as well for basketball.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2026-05-09*

Really like, as a parent, you can look at the team and vote for your player of the match and runner up. Great app! Wish we had this years ago for junior sport. Get on!

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.4.1 — 2026-08-28

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.

### 2.3.3 — 2026-08-26

AFL rebuilt around a real oval, rugby league sharpened, and a much better view for parents watching from the sideline.

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, whether that was the centre bounce, a kick-in, a turnover or general play.

A score logged without its Inside 50 still counts. Every score comes from inside 50, so Kickd fills in the entry rather than flattering your numbers.

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 OVAL
The AFL field is now a proper oval, with a curved boundary, goal squares in the ends, and position rows that follow the curve. On a coach's advice, 15-a-side now fields a Ruck and a Ruck Rover, with the centre half-back and centre half-forward out. Teams always field a ruck and a follower, whatever the count.

LINEUP SCREENS THAT MATCH MATCH DAY
Your AFL and rugby league lineup screens now look exactly like the live field and fill the whole screen, so what you plan is what you see at the whistle. More room for the field and the bench on tablet, and the field stays full size at quarter time and half time breaks.

FOR PARENTS AND SUPPORTERS
The live view now shows every stat your coach is logging, including team-level counts and the opposition's tallies, not just a shortlist. Senior rugby league teams get a half-time card with set completion and errors for both sides.

RUGBY LEAGUE ON A PHONE
Undo the last event you logged without leaving the live screen.

CARNIVAL AND GALA DAYS
Match history is now cached on your phone, so a full day of games is still there after you close the app with no reception. Pre-planned lineups restore properly for every sport, a banner tells you when you are working offline, and a finished game can no longer reappear over the next one.

JOINING A TEAM
Parents who join twice now land in the right team instead of hitting an error, and coaches who already have a team can back out of the Create Team screen.

HANDS FREE WITH KICKD CALLOUT
Call the new AFL stats instead of tapping them. Say "inside fifty", "them 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.

### 2.2.8 — 2026-08-19

Rugby league:
Penalties are now logged the way you call them: tap Penalty, say who won it, done. Voice shortcuts included ("penalty us 4").
The sin bin countdown now starts when the player leaves the field, not at the referee's call.
New Penalties Won line in match stats and history.

Kickd Callout voice logging:
Pre-game mic check on the home screen, so a flat headset never surprises you at kickoff. Pass the check and the mic arms itself when the game starts.
Voice logging now works at every age group, across all 10 sports.

AFL:
Optional rotation alerts, team size options including 15-a-side, and 13-minute quarters.
Rotation pools to help plan fair game time.

Also in this update:
Carnival days: pre-plan several games in advance for oztag, touch football and water polo.
Clearer pass names: Team Pass and Team Callout.
Small fixes across the live match screens.

### 2.2.5 — 2026-08-13

AFL, rebuilt around your rotations. Plus carnival day planning, rugby league referee calls, and a fix for matches recorded out of signal.

AFL TEAM SIZE AND QUARTER LENGTH
Set your on-field count to 9, 12, 15, 16 or 18 to match your league, including the 15-a-side five-lines-of-three layout. Quarter length now offers 13 minutes.

AFL ROTATION POOLS
Tag your players as Forward, Mid or Back and Kickd pairs your subs within the zone, so the player coming on is matched to the player coming off. Auto-fill places tagged players in their own zone, the rotation card shows the field position on both columns, and a flag appears when a pairing crosses zones. Drag any player to override the pairing.

AFL ROTATION ALERTS
Timed rotation reminders are now available for AFL. New teams start with them on, and existing teams can switch them on from the Season screen.

CARNIVAL AND GALA DAYS
Oztag, touch football and water polo join netball with multi-game planning. Set the lineups for every game of the day before you leave home, then load the next game in one tap between matches.

RUGBY LEAGUE REF CALL
Sin bin, sent off and on report now have a button on the live screen: pick the call, then tap the player. On Report is new, and unlike the other two the player stays on the field.

RUGBY LEAGUE ON A PHONE
Good ball and yardage classification for the opposition, and their six again count, are now on the possession banner on phone as well as tablet.

WATER POLO AND TAG SPORTS
Your team's score now sits in its own cell on the field, matching the opposition cell.

MATCHES RECORDED OUT OF SIGNAL
Fixed a fault where a match logged with no reception could be dropped instead of uploaded once your phone reconnected.

ALSO IN THIS RELEASE
Season Pass is now called Team Pass. The parental consent card has been tidied so the withdraw option can no longer be tapped by mistake.

### 2.2.1 — 2026-08-10

The biggest Kickd update of the season:

• Try Kickd Callout free for 14 days — log the whole match by voice through a Bluetooth headset, eyes on the game, fully offline at the ground. The new Callout Coach Pass bundles Callout with your team season pass in one purchase.
