Click here for Detailed How to Use the App Instructions
Create a Regular Team or Tournament Team, then add players and identify the defensive positions where each player is Ready or Developing.
Choose a coaching strategy to generate a suggested batting order. Use the defensive rotation planner to select available players, set the number of innings, and create an editable rotation. Review every assignment before using, printing, or sharing the plan.
After each game, record the actual batting results, defensive positions, score, and Tournament pitch counts. Saved results contribute to player statistics, game insights, Fair Play information, and pitching workload records.
Tournament coaches can also create a multi-game weekend plan of up to 50 innings. Print the weekend plan, then record each completed game separately so the app reflects what actually happened.
Use Player Profiles, Saved Games, and the Fair Play Dashboard to review season progress and playing opportunities. Export a team backup regularly and store the file securely.
An active subscription unlocks team management, player editing, defensive planning, and game recording. If the subscription ends, existing rosters, games, statistics, and pitching history remain available in read-only mode.
Coaches Workflow:
Create Team:

● Press Save then press open team
Enter Player Roster:
● Press Add Player
● Enter Player Name and Pitching Age
● Enter coaches ratings. Scale 10= Great to 1=Not Great. These are editable and can be adjusted as the season progresses. For example: Keep all at 5 when you don’t know… when you work out the stronger kids from the weaker kids, adjust by clicking on edit player. Batting Strategies reference these Coaches Insights first, before then referencing season batting stats.
● Enter applicable Ready Positions. Ready positions are the players who are confident to play in these positions. When developing defensive positions, only players tagged ‘eligible’ to play the positions will be suggested.
● Enter applicable Developing Positions. Developing positions are positions that players are weak at, but they would like to improve. (Eg. you have a wanna be catcher but you only want to use them in an ‘easier’ game so they don’t loose confidence. Choosing developing positions when building defense rotation will now suggest these players for these positions.
