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.

Youth coaches shouldn't have to run a spreadsheet at 10pm the night before a game. READY builds a fair fielding rotation and batting order for you — and remembers every inning your players have already played, so the fairness actually holds up across the whole season, not just one game. HOW IT WORKS 1. Build your season roster once. Add each player, and lock out any position a kid shouldn't play. 2. On game day, uncheck whoever didn't show up. 3. Tap Suggest Fair Lineup. Done. The rotation is built from your real season history — innings played, positions covered, time on the bench. Everyone rotates through the field. Nobody sits two innings in a row. Nobody gets buried in right field all year. WHAT YOU GET - Fair fielding rotations, every inning of every game - Batting orders that rotate fairly too - Season-long tracking: innings, positions, and bench time per player - Printable lineup sheets for the dugout — no phone in your hand mid-game - Full manual control: tap any cell to change it before you log the game - Position lockouts that carry through the whole season - Your roster and season history sync across your devices — start on your laptop, finish on your phone at the field BUILT FOR YOUR LEAGUE, NOT JUST BASEBALL - Softball, including Rover / Short Fielder as a 10th fielder - Tee-ball mode with no pitcher - Coach-pitch and no-catcher setups - Middle Infield as a 5th infielder for younger divisions - 3, 4, or 5 outfielders - Any number of innings PROOF, NOT PROMISES The Season Log shows every player's innings, positions, and bench count across every game you've logged. When a parent asks whether their kid is getting a fair shake, you have the answer on your phone — and you didn't have to track it by hand. FREE TO TRY Build your first 3 lineups free. After that, READY Premium unlocks unlimited lineups for the whole season. READY Premium: $9.99 per year, auto-renewing. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
