Coaching youth soccer and want every kid to get fair playing time? Benchly builds an equal-playing-time rotation for your roster and turns it into a printable lineup PDF, right on your iPhone. Add your players, pick the field size and how the game is split, and tap Make Lineup PDF. Benchly works out who plays and who sits each rotation, rotates the goalkeeper and checks the result for fairness. • EQUAL PLAYING TIME — shifts are spread as evenly as possible; with an odd-sized roster the extra shifts are shared fairly, and the app shows the play-time spread. • 7v7, 9v9 OR 11v11 — halves or quarters, with 1 or 2 rotations per period. Rosters up to 30 players. • THREE KEEPER MODES — rotate everyone through goal, share goal among your dedicated keepers, or keep one fixed keeper all game. • ROTATION GRID PDF — a printable US Letter PDF with the full rotation grid plus a lineup for each period, labeled 1st Half, 2nd Quarter and so on. • MINUTES SUMMARY — enter the game length and each player's approximate minutes are included in the fairness summary. • GAME DETAILS — team name, opponent and date on the sheet; drag to reorder the roster. Print it with AirPrint, share the PDF with parents and assistant coaches, or save it to Files. Benchly plans who is on the field and in goal — it doesn't assign outfield positions. Everything stays on your iPhone; no account needed. Your first 3 lineups are free. A one-time $4.99 unlock gives you unlimited lineups. No subscription, no ads. Questions: overlapmarr@gmail.com
