Every kid plays. The team still wins. Magic Lineup is the sideline app for youth soccer and basketball coaches caught between two jobs: give every kid fair minutes, and still put out a lineup that competes. Other apps are stopwatches. This one does both. YOUR BEST LINEUP, FROM REAL DATA The Lineup Wizard builds your soccer starting lineup from the season you've actually had — time at position, practice effort, attendance. Slot by slot, it tells you who's earned it. Switch between 39 formations, 5v5 to 11v11, even mid-game. FAIR MINUTES, WITHOUT THE MENTAL MATH • One tap rotates the bench — the kids who've waited longest come on first • A heatmap on every player tile shows who's ahead and who's owed time • Set a target-minutes goal per team; the app tracks everyone against it • Mark a player injured and they auto-bench without wrecking the time math • Per-player history — minutes, court %, time by position, game by game — receipts for any parent who asks RUN THE SIDELINE WITH ONE THUMB • Drag a sub straight onto the field or court • Five-second undo for fat-fingered taps • Game clock and score on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island — the clock survives a locked phone • Dictate sideline notes without leaving the game STATS THAT TRACK THEMSELVES Soccer: goals, shots, fouls, yellow and red cards. Basketball: 2s, 3s, free throws, fouls, steals, turnovers — with foul badges right on the player tiles. Every event lands in a timestamped game journal. No halftime data entry, ever. COACH WITH YOUR STAFF Invite an assistant with a QR code in seconds. Subs and stats stay in sync between phones. No extra charge — your whole bench staff is included. YOUR SEASON IN ONE PLACE Schedule games and practices, take attendance, and grade practice effort — which feeds straight back into lineup suggestions. Already on GameChanger? Paste one calendar link and your season imports. FULL GAMES, FREE No game-length caps. No per-coach fees. Free. Built by a youth coach who got tired of doing fairness math on a notecard. Made in California.
