New: a tactics board you can draw on mid-match, with an opposition that plays back. Still free, still offline, still no account needed.
Sub Manager is a free sideline toolkit for junior football: fair playing time and effortless subs, a tactics board that plays back, broadcast-style match capture, and a complete referee kit, all in one app, no account needed.
Built for coaches, parents and volunteers who'd rather watch the game than a spreadsheet.
FAIR PLAYING TIME, SORTED
- Every player's field and bench time tracked automatically
- Drag-and-drop subs, with your formation updating live
- Gentle alerts when someone's been on the bench too long
- Log goals and cards with a tap
- From 5-a-side to full 11-player squads, with early futsal support
THE TACTICS BOARD
- Move any player with your finger. Bring the ball to someone and it sticks, move too fast and it runs loose
- Your lines fade on their own, so the board clears itself between points
- Show the ground each side covers, the shot that is on, the passes that are open, the offside line, and the space nobody is close enough to cover
- Give the other team a way of playing and see what it costs you: high press, low block, park the bus, stretch and counter, total football
- Set the scoreline you want to talk about, and watch a side chasing a goal come out at you
GAMECAM
- Film matches in up to 4K/60 with a broadcast-style scoreboard burned into the video
- Automatic goal highlights, or save the last 30 seconds with a tap
- Face blur for safe sharing of junior footage
- On-device match analysis: possession, territory and momentum, nothing uploaded
REFEREE MODE, A COMPLETE OFFICIATING KIT, FREE
- Clock, cards, subs, coin toss and penalty shootouts from your phone or Apple Watch
- Speak, don't tap: dictate an incident from phone or watch, transcribed on the device into structured match data
- Movement heat map and fitness tracking from your watch (opt-in)
- A full match report you can amend afterwards, and career stats across every match you officiate
COACH TOGETHER
- Co-Coach: share your live match with the bench over Bluetooth, subs, cards and score in sync, no internet needed
- Broadcast a live score that nearby supporters can follow
AFTER THE WHISTLE
- Instant match reports and a shareable full-time recap
- Season stats that tell the truth: playing time, net goal impact, goals per field minute
- Player cards to share with parents, as an image or a print-ready PDF
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
- No accounts, no subscriptions, no internet required
- 100% free and fully local, your data stays on your phone
- Optional one-time purchase: the Apple Watch companion app
- Connects with Club Manager for roster sync and backup, if your club uses it
- Fully localized in 40 languages
Made by coaches and parents who care about fun, fairness and development.
Searched around a lot for a nice soccer game management app but this is by far the best app I have used. No sign-ins, no premiums, and it just does everything you need.
Developer Response
Thanks a lot for the feedback and support!
The tactics board
Stop describing the shape and show it. Open the board mid-match, draw with your finger, then put it down and get back to the game. It stays clear of buttons so you can read it at arm's length, and you choose what it shows once, before the whistle.
- Move any player with your finger. Bring the ball to someone and it sticks; move too fast and it runs loose, like a real dribble.
- Your lines fade on their own, so the board clears itself between points.
- Switch on the ground each side covers, the shot that is on from where the ball is, the passes that are open, the offside line the defence is holding, and the pockets of space nobody is close enough to cover.
The other team plays too
Give the other team a way of playing and see what it costs you: swarm the ball, high press, low block, park the bus, stretch and counter, total football, or world class. Leave them as statues if you would rather place them yourself.
- Say how much they should respect any one of your players, from "let them have it" to "never let them turn".
- Set the scoreline you want to talk about, and watch a side chasing a goal come out at you.
It is all worked out from where the players are standing, so the same picture always plays the same way.
Plus fixes and polish across stats and charts.
All of it free, all of it offline. Thanks for playing with us!
