Build fair lineups in a minute

Lineups are the hardest admin job in youth soccer

Working out who plays where in each quarter, and making sure no child sits out more than their share, is a puzzle most coaches solve on the back of an envelope the night before. Then two players do not show up and the plan falls apart.

A pitch, four quarters and your roster

In SOXY a lineup belongs to a game. Pick the game size, from 5v5 up to 11v11, choose a formation, and you get a pitch with a jersey for each position and a bench underneath. Tap a position to pick a player, or drag one jersey onto another to swap them. Tabs along the top take you through the four quarters.

Next to every benched player is a count of the quarters they have played, so you can see at a glance who is due a turn.

Auto-fill that shares playing time

Tap Auto-fill and SOXY builds all four quarters for you. It uses the players available for that game, makes sure nobody sits a second time before everyone has sat once, and rotates the goalkeeper. Change anything you like afterwards, or refill a single quarter and leave the rest alone.

For the next game, "same as last game" copies your previous lineup as a starting point.

Print it for the sideline

One tap opens a print-ready sheet with all four quarters, the bench for each, the field and both coaches. It prints on a single landscape page. Head coaches decide whether lineups are visible to the whole team or only to coaches.

How it works

1. Open a game and tap Game Lineup.
2. Choose the size and formation.
3. Tap Auto-fill, then adjust by tapping or dragging.
4. Save, and print the sheet if you want paper on the sideline.
