Sound familiar?
Volunteer coaching comes with a second job nobody mentioned.
You signed up to teach kids soccer. Somewhere along the way you also became the scheduler, the statistician, the snack coordinator and the person who has to explain playing time.
Saturday, 8:40 AM
Kickoff is at nine and I still don't have a lineup.
Auto-Lineup builds a balanced rotation for every period in one tap. Swap anyone with a drag.
After the game
“Why did my kid sit out again?”
The rotation grid shows exactly who played where, every period, all season. The fairness argument ends before it starts.
Tuesday, 5:15 PM
Practice is in an hour. What are we even doing?
Pick a template or let the AI planner build a session around tonight's goal. Diagrams, timings and coaching points included.
Lineups
A fair lineup for every period, in one tap.
Mark who showed up, pick a formation, tap Auto-Lineup. The app spreads minutes evenly across the match, keeps players in positions they like, and shows the whole rotation before kickoff.
- Auto-Lineup balances playing time across every period and respects each player's preferred and avoided positions
- A rotation grid shows who is on the field, on the bench or out, period by period
- Formations for 4v4 through 11v11, plus your own custom shapes
- Drag any player to override; save the result as a template for the next match
- Share the lineup as a PDF with your assistant or the parents' group chat
Practice
A real session plan in minutes, not a Sunday night.
Start from a template built for your age group, build your own from the drill library, or tell the AI planner what you want to work on. Every drill comes with a diagram and what to say.
- 100+ drills with diagrams, setup, coaching points and progressions
- Templates by age group, or generate a plan with AI from a session goal
- Session goals follow the U.S. Soccer Grassroots Roadmap: attacking, defending, transitions, by zone
- Classic or Play-Practice-Play structure; blocks resize to fit your time
- Coach mode runs the session one drill at a time from your phone
- A two-minute reflection afterwards tells the next session what to train
Season
Your season, one place.
Schedule, scores, scorers, snacks and reminders live together, so the Sunday-night text thread can finally retire.
- Import a whole schedule at once, or add matches one at a time
- Scores, scorers and a season record that updates itself
- A snack signup link parents can use without creating an account
- Reminders before you need a lineup and before kickoff
Phone and web
Plan at the kitchen table. Coach from the sideline.
The web app gives you the room to build a season on a real screen. The phone app puts the lineup, the rotation grid and the practice plan in your pocket. Change something on one and it’s on the other in seconds.
On the web
Import schedules, upload rosters, browse the drill library with a mouse and a big screen.
On the phone
Game-day lineups, coach mode for practice, reflections on the drive home.
How it works
Ready before the first whistle.
Most coaches have their first lineup built the same evening they sign up.
- 01
Add your roster
Type the names, upload a file, or take a photo of the league sheet and let the app read it.
- 02
Add the schedule
Paste the season in once. Every match gets a date, time, place and a snack slot.
- 03
Tap Auto-Lineup
Mark who's available, pick a formation, and walk onto the field with a fair plan.
For clubs
Every coach on the same page. Literally.
Name your club once, create its teams, and invite each coach by email. Everyone gets the same lineup tool, the same drill library and the same way of talking to parents, and your club's name sits on every team.
7 days free, then $60 a month, $250 every 6 months or $450 a year. A card starts the trial; cancel before it ends and you pay nothing. Set up on the web in a few minutes; coaches download the app from their invite.
Unlimited teams, one bill
Every age group under one club. No subscription per coach, no spreadsheets per team.
Invite coaches by email
Each coach gets a link, creates an account and lands on the teams you assigned. Resend or cancel any time.
Two coaches, one team
A head coach and an assistant work on the same roster and lineup, and see who else is editing.
Your name on every team
The club's name shows on each team in the app and on the web. Team names stay the team names.

- What is MatchDay Coach?
- MatchDay Coach is a team management app for youth soccer coaches. It builds fair lineups and substitution plans, tracks playing time across the season, plans practices from a library of 100+ drills, and keeps your schedule, scores and snack signups in one place. It runs on iPhone, Android and the web, and everything stays in sync.
- What age groups and formats does it support?
- Any youth age group from U4 to U18. The lineup builder handles 4v4, 5v5, 6v6, 7v7, 8v8, 9v9 and 11v11, and you can define your own formations. Drill and template recommendations adjust to your team's age.
- How does fair rotation work?
- Auto-Lineup assigns players to positions across every period of the match, balancing minutes so each player gets roughly equal time while respecting the positions they prefer and avoid. The rotation grid shows the result at a glance, and you can override any spot with a drag.
- Can I use it on my laptop?
- Yes. The web app at app.matchdaycoach.app has the same account, roster, schedule and practice plans as the phone app. Plan on a laptop at home, then coach from your phone at the field. Changes appear on the other device within seconds.
- Is it really free?
- Yes. One coach, one team, every feature, no subscription and no trial. Clubs that run several teams use the Organization plan, which starts with a free 7-day trial and is then billed monthly, every six months or yearly.
- Do parents need the app for snack signup?
- No. You share a link or a short team code. Parents open it in a browser, pick a game and add their name. You see who is bringing snacks on each match.
- Can I coach more than one team?
- The free plan covers one team, with its whole roster, schedule, lineups and practice history. A club that runs several teams uses the Organization plan: as many teams as you need, coaches invited by email, and two coaches can work on the same team.
- What does the Organization plan include?
- The Organization plan is for a club, or any organization that runs several teams, and you choose how to pay for it: $60 a month, $250 every six months (the one we recommend, about a season) or $450 a year. All three include the same things. Set it up on the web: name the club, create its teams, and invite each coach by email. Every coach gets everything in the free plan, sees the club name on their teams, and can work on the same team as another coach. One plan covers every club its owner owns. Running a whole league? Get in touch and we will set it up with you.
- How is the Organization plan billed?
- You pick monthly ($60), every six months ($250) or yearly ($450) on the billing page of the web app, and pay by card. Whichever you pick renews automatically for the same period until you cancel, and a receipt is emailed to you for every charge. You can cancel any time from Manage subscription, in Settings or on the club's billing page, and the club keeps everything until the end of the period you have paid for. If the plan lapses, nothing is deleted: the club's teams become read-only until it is active again.
- Can I change how I pay later?
- Yes. The club's owner can switch between monthly, every six months and yearly from Manage subscription, in Settings or on the club's billing page. The plan itself is the same on all three.
- Can I get a refund on the Organization plan?
- You can cancel at any time and the club keeps the plan until the end of the period you have paid for. A period that has started is not refunded, except where the law requires it. If a renewal went through by mistake, write to support@matchdaycoach.app within 7 days and we will look at it. During the 7-day trial nothing has been charged, so cancelling then costs nothing.
- Is there a trial for clubs?
- Yes. Name your club, pick how you'd like to pay (monthly, every six months or yearly) and start a free 7-day trial: add every team, invite your coaches and run a week of practices and matches. You enter a card to start the trial and nothing is charged for seven days. Cancel before then and you pay nothing; otherwise the plan you picked begins. If you cancel, nothing is deleted: the club's teams become read-only until a plan is active again.
