Soccer Coach Timer

Adding players and substituting them in the field map is fantastic drag and drop. Simple as it should be (no selection menus). The killer feature that this app does that I could not find elsewhere is that is shows the players time stats broken down by position (DF, MF, FWD). Thus for versatile players you can se where you have utilized them the most. Fantastic option. But it just lacks a few simple options that would really elevate its usefulness: 1. Able to pause or manually set the timer. If you miss the kick off, you’re out of luck. 2. Too limited for positions. I’d like to differentiate between wide, attacking and defensive midfielders. What about wingbacks. As far as positional stats go, it’s all just a flat MID line. Even if I could just name the slots on the field map (eg make one midfield slot an AM) may help add that simply. 3. Like to be able mark players as not available (long press) to remove them from cluttering up the sub bench.

The UI is really cool. It’s great how you can see player time and whether they have played a position. But, there are a few critical things missing. First, there are only options for 1 period or 2 halves. Many youth games have 4 quarters. I could make that work with two halves, but there’s no way to stop the clock. A pause function is needed. Last, I wish for the ability to plan the game and subs in advance. It’s too difficult to manage equal playing time during the game. Without a plan, you can end up with very awkward mixes of players on the field as you try to balance time, position, and player skill during a match.

Excellent app! Keeps track of playing time for me so I can focus on actually coaching the game. Extremely easy to use. Preparing the subs makings calling out players a breeze. Wish it had the ability to track individual player goals, assists, and saves. Also need to be able to adjust the score mid-game in case of a miss click.
