Find subs instantly, post your availability as a free agent, and get matched with nearby players by position and skill. Lets use this app like a softball community.
Need a sub for tonight's game? Looking to get in on a pickup softball game nearby? SubHook connects team managers who need last-minute substitute players with players looking for games to join — instantly.
Whether you're a manager scrambling to fill a roster spot or a player itching to get on the field, SubHook makes it effortless to find your match.
HOW IT WORKS
Managers post a broadcast when they need a sub — just set the date, time, position needed, and location. Players browsing the feed can respond in seconds. Flip it around: players can broadcast their availability so managers know exactly who's ready to play.
It's a two-sided marketplace built specifically for recreational softball and baseball.
FIND PLAYERS FAST
Search the full player directory filtered by position, skill level, and distance from your location. See who's online and available right now with the Active Now feature — a real-time signal that auto-expires after 30 minutes so you always know who's genuinely ready.
ROSTER & WAITLIST MANAGEMENT
Stop juggling group texts. When players respond to your broadcast, add them to the roster or waitlist with a tap. If a rostered player drops out, the next person on the waitlist gets promoted automatically and notified instantly.
ATTENDANCE CONFIRMATION
Reduce no-shows with built-in attendance confirmation. Rostered players confirm they're coming, and managers can see exactly who's locked in before game time. Send a game reminder push notification to the entire roster when it's time to head to the field.
IN-APP MESSAGING
Chat directly with managers or players without sharing your phone number. The Messages tab shows all your conversations with unread counts so nothing gets missed.
YOUR GAME CALENDAR
Every game you've created or accepted lives on your Calendar tab, organized by date. See status at a glance — open, confirmed, closed — so you always know what's coming up.
MAP & DIRECTIONS
Each broadcast includes an interactive map with the game location. Get one-tap directions through Apple Maps or Google Maps to get to the field on time.
BUILD YOUR PLAYER PROFILE
Set your positions (all 9 field positions supported), skill level (Recreational, Intermediate, Competitive, or Elite), travel radius, and home ZIP code. Add a profile photo so managers and players can put a face to the name. Toggle Free Agent Mode to get discovered by managers looking for available subs.

Get notified when:
• A new game is posted nearby
• Someone responds to your broadcast
