## What is Sideline?

Sideline is the matchday companion for grassroots football coaches. Prepare your
squad, build formations, and run the game live — all from one app that works
fully offline, pitchside, with no signal required.

PLAN
• Build your squad with shirt numbers, positions, availability and a club captain.
• Create formations for 5, 7, 9 and 11-a-side — start from presets or drag your
  own, and save custom shapes.
• Line up both teams on one pitch with the Matchup board.

RUN THE MATCH
• A live matchday cockpit: per-period clock, start/pause, half-time and full-time.
• Tap-off / tap-on substitutions with live per-player minutes.
• Record goals (scorer + assist), cards, and an optional pitch view where you
  position players by formation and drag them live.
• Cup extra time and penalty shootouts when a game is level.
• A post-match summary with the result, goals, cards, minutes and a coach's note.

REVIEW THE SEASON
• A season record — W/D/L, goals for/against, form, top scorers — and a
  per-player table of appearances, minutes, goals and assists.

YOUR DATA, YOUR DEVICE
• Everything is stored locally and works offline. No accounts, no tracking, no ads.
• Back up or move your data with a single export file, and import it on another
  device.

FREE & PRO
Free includes one team, the full squad and formation tools, the matchup board,
import/export, and your first 3 matches on the full Match Runner. Sideline Pro —
a one-time unlock — adds unlimited match running, season history & stats,
fair-play automation, and multiple teams.
