Less guessing

Player minutes, bench status, and substitution decisions in one view.

The app keeps the rotation picture visible, so you can make a calm call without reconstructing the last ten minutes from memory or paper notes.

Know who needs a rest

See player time at a glance instead of trying to remember who has been on longest.

Position-aware decisions

Sub 'Em! can group field players by role and recommend subs from the group you need next.

Protect key players

Lock non-rotational players on field, then long-hold to unlock them when plans change.

Fast player actions

Use one Control Centre button to make a paired substitution or move a player straight off. With add-ons, use the same flow for scoring and match events.

Clearer field groups

Switch the live field list between ordered view and grouped view when player positions are enabled.

Document key moments

With Match Report Pro, record custom player, opposition, or match events and include them in the report.

For clubs and competitions

Annual access that helps every team start match day calmer.

Give volunteer coaches a faster path from signup to first whistle. Club-provisioned setup links preload the sport, match profile, organization name, and season label, while each coach keeps control of their own team and member list.

Less match-day pressure

Coaches can keep player minutes, bench status, and substitution prompts in one phone view while play keeps moving.

More consistent onboarding

Club-issued setup links preload the sport and match profile so each team starts from the same approved baseline.

Managed add-ons included

Provisioned access can include the add-ons a club wants to support, such as multiple sports, player positions, squad sharing, or Match Report Pro for scoring, event notes, and reports.

Clearer volunteer handover

Parent managers still add their own team and members, but they are not starting with a blank setup screen.

Club annual pricing

Plans built around active match profiles.

Start club setup

An active match profile is one configured profile actively used by one team in a season. For example, 20 teams using two profiles each is 40 active match profiles. Teams and members remain coach-managed in the current club setup, while the club can preload sport and match-profile setup.

One team?

Coaches can still start small.

Individual add-ons stay available inside the app as one-off purchases. Clubs choose annual access when they want to fund setup across multiple teams and keep add-ons managed centrally.

Coach add-ons start at USD 3.99, or unlock everything for USD 19.99.No subscription is required for individual coach add-ons. Read the terms and privacy notes.

  3. Send coaches their links

    Coaches open their link, add team members, and start match-day rotation tracking from their own phone.

Custom player groups

Use the role names your team already uses.

With the Player Positions add-on, create fully customizable groups for any sport or team style. Name them shooters, backs, centers, forwards, or whatever makes sense to the person running the sideline. During a match, switch the field list into grouped view so each role has its own visible container.

Group-aware sub suggestions

When a change needs a specific role, Sub 'Em! can prioritize suggestions from that selected group, helping coaches make faster calls while still keeping fair playing time visible. Bench players can also be marked available, injured, or unavailable without leaving the match screen.

Coach questions

Sports substitution app FAQ

What is a sports substitution app?

A sports substitution app helps coaches track who is playing, who is on the bench, and how much game time each player has had so substitutions are easier to manage.

How do I track player minutes during a match?

Start a match, mark players as on field or on bench, and let Sub Em keep the running player minute totals visible while the game is live.

How can coaches manage substitutions fairly?

Use live minute totals and bench status to see who has played longest, who needs a rest, and who is due to come on next.

Does Sub Em work for different sports?

Yes. Sub Em can support team sports that use player rotations, including basketball, soccer, netball, rugby, and other junior sport formats.

Can I use my own player group names?

Yes. With the Player Positions add-on, coaches can create custom groups such as shooters, backs, centers, or forwards, view field players grouped by those roles during a match, and prioritize substitution suggestions from the group needed next.

What does Match Report Pro add?

Match Report Pro adds scoring, custom sport-specific event buttons, player or opposition event tagging, and report export so coaches can document more than substitutions and minutes.

How does club-provisioned setup work?

A club or competition can give coaches a setup link that preloads the sport and match profile, plus club or season context. Provisioned access can also include the add-ons the club wants to support for coaches or members.

Does the annual club product include a full club portal?

The current club setup is focused on annual organization access, coach setup links, and preloaded sport and match-profile templates. A broader self-serve club portal is planned separately.
