At 24 minutes of a U10 7v7 match, a defender needs a break and one bench player is still short on minutes. Check the rotation, tap the substitution, and keep equal playing time and player-minute totals accurate from the sideline.
Pitch Planner is a free soccer substitution tracker for youth coaches. It combines a soccer rotation planner, live player minutes, equal playing time targets, match events, and a post-game recap from one phone.
Set a playing-time target before kickoff, start the match clock, and tap each substitution as it happens. Pitch Planner works as an equal playing time tracker, showing who is on target, short, or over.
Yes. The soccer substitution tracker is built for mobile browsers, big tap targets, screen wake-lock, and offline match flow. Coaches can use it during a real game without downloading an app or managing a spreadsheet.
Spreadsheets and rotation charts can work before the match. They break when a player arrives late, gets hurt, needs a rest, or a coach has to make a quick tactical change.
