Sub Manager is a free sideline toolkit for junior football: fair playing time and effortless subs, a tactics board that plays back, broadcast-style match capture, and a complete referee kit, all in one app, no account needed. Built for coaches, parents and volunteers who'd rather watch the game than a spreadsheet. FAIR PLAYING TIME, SORTED - Every player's field and bench time tracked automatically - Drag-and-drop subs, with your formation updating live - Gentle alerts when someone's been on the bench too long - Log goals and cards with a tap - From 5-a-side to full 11-player squads, with early futsal support THE TACTICS BOARD - Move any player with your finger. Bring the ball to someone and it sticks, move too fast and it runs loose - Your lines fade on their own, so the board clears itself between points - Show the ground each side covers, the shot that is on, the passes that are open, the offside line, and the space nobody is close enough to cover - Give the other team a way of playing and see what it costs you: high press, low block, park the bus, stretch and counter, total football - Set the scoreline you want to talk about, and watch a side chasing a goal come out at you GAMECAM - Film matches in up to 4K/60 with a broadcast-style scoreboard burned into the video - Automatic goal highlights, or save the last 30 seconds with a tap - Face blur for safe sharing of junior footage - On-device match analysis: possession, territory and momentum, nothing uploaded REFEREE MODE, A COMPLETE OFFICIATING KIT, FREE - Clock, cards, subs, coin toss and penalty shootouts from your phone or Apple Watch - Speak, don't tap: dictate an incident from phone or watch, transcribed on the device into structured match data - Movement heat map and fitness tracking from your watch (opt-in) - A full match report you can amend afterwards, and career stats across every match you officiate COACH TOGETHER - Co-Coach: share your live match with the bench over Bluetooth, subs, cards and score in sync, no internet needed - Broadcast a live score that nearby supporters can follow AFTER THE WHISTLE - Instant match reports and a shareable full-time recap - Season stats that tell the truth: playing time, net goal impact, goals per field minute - Player cards to share with parents, as an image or a print-ready PDF PRIVATE BY DESIGN - No accounts, no subscriptions, no internet required - 100% free and fully local, your data stays on your phone - Optional one-time purchase: the Apple Watch companion app - Connects with Club Manager for roster sync and backup, if your club uses it - Fully localized in 40 languages Made by coaches and parents who care about fun, fairness and development.
