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
