GamePlanLab is the pregame planning toolkit for youth baseball coaches. Build a complete game plan, batting order, defensive rotations, and pitching assignments in five minutes, then run it from the dugout with the rules of your league enforced automatically. Built by a 10U coach who got tired of nightly spreadsheet sessions. Designed for first-time managers, travel ball staffs, and high school coaches who want the right answer, fast. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Generate balanced batting orders weighted by age, OBP, contact, and speed with automatic high-K separation • Place defensive rotations that remember position history and balance premium positions across the season • Track pitch counts under Little League, USSSA, Cal Ripken, Perfect Game, PONY, or Dixie Youth rules, with automatic rest-day and catcher-conflict warnings • See exactly when the next game starts, who's absent today, and whether your lineup is ready, all from the home screen • Run a phone-first dugout with one-tap ball / strike / foul / out buttons that update pitch counts in real time • Use the voice pitch counter to call balls and strikes hands-free while watching the team • Mark players absent with a single tap from the roster (works offline; syncs when reception comes back) • Snap a GameChanger screenshot of your next opponent, and AI parses the stats and writes a one-page scouting report • Share the team schedule and per-game snack signup links with parents via the native iOS share sheet • Read AI-generated practice plans on the field; review past game results and season-long fairness WHO IT'S FOR • Rec ball coaches who want every kid to get a fair shot • Travel ball staffs who need professional-grade planning • High school coaches managing complex pitching rotations • Volunteer parents handed the team manager role for the first time PRIVACY & DATA GamePlanLab stores your roster, game plans, and season data on your account.
