Rotation Coach
Read full descriptionHide full description
Rotation Coach is a volleyball rotation planner for coaches who need answers on the bench, not on a laptop at home. Build your lineup once. Step through all six rotations and see exactly where every player stands in serve, in serve receive, in attack and in defense. The moment a formation breaks an overlap rule, the app tells you which two players are wrong and why, in plain language: "OPP #15 (Z4) must be in front of H2 #5 (Z5)". No more discovering it from a referee's whistle. WORKS WITHOUT A SIGNAL Gyms have terrible reception. Rotation Coach never needs any. Your rosters, your formations and your substitutions all live on your device, and they are there whether or not you have bars. There is no login, no sync, no spinner, and nothing to go wrong on a Saturday morning in a school basement. BUILT FOR THE SYSTEMS YOU ACTUALLY RUN The 5-1, 6-2 and 4-2 each arrive with real serve-receive, serving, attack and defense charts drawn from coached lineups, not generic diagrams. Or build your own from scratch. The 6-2 and 4-2 come with the substitutions that make them work, so a new team is ready to look at immediately. CATCHES WHAT COSTS YOU POINTS - Live overlap checking in serve and serve receive, naming both players - USAV and NFHS rule books, with the substitution counting each one uses - Libero tracking, including which rotation they serve in - Substitution planning per rotation, counted against your allowance FOR THE BENCH, NOT JUST FOR PLANNING Print one-page lineup sheets with every rotation at a glance, or a card per player. Terse on purpose, so you can read one mid-match. SHARE WITH YOUR PLAYERS (PRO) Send a player their own view by QR code. They scan it, and they see the court from their position, with where they start and where they move in every rotation. No account for them either. You can pass a whole team to another coach the same way. Nothing is uploaded and nothing is downloaded. The code carries the team itself, so sharing works in a gym with no bars, and your assistant coach is never left in the dark. WHAT IS FREE, WHAT PRO ADDS Free: one team, all six rotations across serve, receive, attack and defense, live overlap checking, libero and substitution tracking, and a printed card for each of your players. PRO: up to five teams, printed rotation sheets, team export, and player QR sharing. YOURS TO KEEP Buy it once and own it permanently. There is also a yearly option if you prefer a smaller number, but the one-time purchase is a real one. It does not expire, it does not phone home to check, and it keeps working whether or not this app is still being updated. NOTHING IS COLLECTED No account. No analytics. No advertising. No tracking. No servers. Your roster is your team's business, not ours, and it never leaves your device. The camera is used only to read a team's QR code when you point it at one, and never otherwise. Built by a coach. SUBSCRIPTION AND PURCHASE TERMS PRO is sold two ways: a one-time purchase that never expires, or a yearly subscription. The subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the period ends, and your account is charged within 24 hours of the period ending. You can manage or cancel it in your Apple account settings at any time after purchase.
