Improved

Accessibility Upgrades β€” WCAG AA Contrast

Better contrast on role selectors and improved tap targets for mobile. Easier to read in bright sunlight, easier to tap when you're multitasking on the sideline. Small polish, big difference.

Shift Lock β€” Hold a Player in Place Mid-Game

Sometimes a kid is in the zone and you don't want to pull them. Shift Lock lets you freeze a player in their current position for the next shift. The auto-assign logic routes around them. Tap the lock icon on any shift card. Done. Coaching instinct stays in control.

New

Variable Side Counts β€” 5v5 through 11v11

SquadRotate now handles any game format. Pick 5v5, 7v7, 9v9, or 11v11 and the rotation math adjusts automatically β€” field positions, bench sizing, shift calculations, all of it. No more mental gymnastics when your U8 plays small-sided and your U12 plays full field.

Session Management β€” Rename and Delete Games

Game history was getting cluttered. Now you can rename sessions ("vs. Blue Lightning" instead of "Game 5/13") and delete old ones you don't need. Tap the session dropdown, hit the edit icon, clean up your list.

New

Magic Link Login

No passwords. Enter your email, tap the link we send, you're in. Works on any device β€” start on your laptop at home, pick up on your phone at the field. Your roster and sessions follow you.

New

Practice Tab β€” Coach Availability + Editable Routines

Mark which coaches are at practice and the drill plan adjusts. Edit your daily routine on the fly β€” warm-up, scrimmage, skills work β€” and save it for next time. Game day gets the attention, but practice prep matters too.

June 7th, 2026

New

Formation Picker

Tappable formation cards instead of number inputs. See your shape at a glance β€” 2-3-1, 3-2-1, 4-3-3 β€” and switch with one tap. The chalkboard updates live so you know exactly how kids will line up.

Export Locked Lineup

Lock your lineup when it's set, then export it. Share with assistant coaches or keep a record. The export captures your final rotation so nothing gets lost.

Coaching Staff Roster

Add your assistant coaches and helpers to the Team Info tab. Know who's on deck for game day.

New

Initial release

Named Game Sessions

Save and switch between games. Start a new game, lock it when you're done, come back to it later. No more losing your lineup when you close the app.

Fatigue Warnings

Kids who've played too many consecutive shifts get flagged. Yellow means watch them. Red means sub them out. The app tracks it so you don't have to count in your head while managing the game.

Smart Swap Suggestions

Need to make a substitution but not sure who's the best swap? Tap a player and see ranked suggestions based on rest time, position fit, and equal-play balance. Takes the guesswork out of sideline decisions.

Chalkboard View

See your formation laid out visually with player names in position. Updates live as you make changes.

Dynamic Shift Calculation

Set your half length and minutes per shift β€” the app figures out how many shifts you have and adjusts the rotation grid automatically.
