Description

I coach a kids’ sports team and was constantly juggling who should sub on/off, making sure everyone got fair playtime. Most apps I tried were either clunky, expensive, or not made for grassroots games.

So I built Switch Play – a simple app that automatically rotates players based on your team setup (e.g. 5 on field, 3 on bench), and lets you lock key players (like goalkeepers), drag-and-drop lineups, and manage late arrivals. You can even set quarter/half-time timers and see who played where.

It works great for soccer, netball, and other team sports where fair time matters – especially with young kids.
