More info & how-to videos: http://intellicoach.tech The perfect app for youth recreational sports coaches. Say goodbye to frantically reworking your paper-and-pencil lineup on the sideline, and instead spend the game coaching your players and helping them improve. intelli.coach does more than keep track of substitutions, it uses artificial intelligence to suggest optimized and customizable substitutions based on the skill level of the players. These suggestions provide a strategic advantage throughout the game, while also ensuring fair playing time. Suggested lineups balance the skill level of players on the field throughout the game, and also finish the game strong (maximizing the strength of players in the game during the last portion of the game). Players are ranked by offensive and defensive skill, with the ability to change these rankings throughout the season based on player performance. Players who arrive late or leave early seamlessly fit into the lineup. If a player gets injured or tired mid-period, intelli.coach recommends a strategic replacement from the bench. The information-rich, readable in-game screen shows time elapsed, current lineup, and recommended next lineup. Color coding enables easy identification of players entering and leaving the game during substitutions. Mid-game notifications (sent 1 minute before and at the time of each substitution) ensure you always know when your next substitution is approaching. For soccer games, intelli.coach creates optimal positional lineups based on player skill level. Switch between three different lineup modes based on game circumstances. Start on balanced mode to spread your players evenly across the field, then switch to offensive mode when you need a goal, and defensive mode when you’re trying to control a lead. intelli.coach supports all sports by using the IntelliCoaching algorithm, which has multiple modes based on coaching preference. Low mode gives all players in attendance relatively equal playing time, and high mode plays everyone at least half the game while giving higher skilled players more playing time. Let intelli.coach revolutionize your coaching experience: making substitutions easier, providing a strategic advantage, and keeping playtime fair. Terms of Use: http://intellicoach.tech/terms

SubCav (Substitution Cavalry) takes the hardest part of coaching youth soccer — fair playing time — and handles it for you. Build your roster, pick a formation, and SubCav generates a complete substitution schedule automatically: every player gets equitable minutes, nobody sits two blocks in a row, and goalie rotations are handled. Prefer full control? Place every player yourself with manual positioning. Then coach the whole game from one screen: a live dashboard with the field layout, upcoming substitutions, real playing-time tracking for every player, score and penalties, and a substitution chime so you never miss a change. It even works offline at the field and syncs when you're back online. Parents never miss a moment. Share a live game link they can open in any phone browser — no app, no login — to watch the score, the field, and who's playing right now. Text the link straight from the game (with parent consent), share your season schedule with arrival times and a subscribe-to-calendar option, and share season statistics. Between games, browse your team photo gallery, review season stats built
