About

AFL Kickoff

Read full description

AFL Kickoff is built for the coaches who make grassroots AFL football happen — the volunteer parent, the community club coach, the person juggling a team sheet and a folding chair on a Saturday or Sunday morning. No complicated dashboards. Just what you need to get your team out on the oval and keep track of the season. Manage your squad Set up your team in 9-a-side or 18-a-side format, build your roster, and keep an eye on every player's minutes and stats as the season goes on — handy when parents ask how their kid's getting on. Get ready for match day in three steps Confirm who's available, set initial lineup and positions — done from your phone before you've even left for the ground. Run the match without missing a beat A live match screen keeps your team front and center, with simple substitutions, rotation timers so every kid gets fair playing time, and live goal, point and score tracking — so you can focus on the game, not the paperwork. Keep score from your pocket Live Activity and Dynamic Island support show the match clock and score right on your Lock Screen, so you're not stuck staring at the app the whole match. Wrap up properly Rate performances after the final whistle and build up a picture of how each player's developing over the season.
