Youth Sports
Sideline
Rotation coach for the sideline.
In development — iOS 26, iPadOS 26, watchOS 26
What it does
Sideline is a native iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch app for the parent or coach running youth soccer from the touchline. It handles fair playing-time and position rotations across 5v5, 7v7, 9v9, and 11v11 so every kid gets their minutes — without you tracking it on a clipboard mid-game.
A live game clock surfaces smart substitution and position-rotation suggestions as the half plays out. The field view is built for real conditions: a sunlight-readable, high-contrast layout with player photos you can read at a glance. Stats accrue across the season — minutes and positions per player — and everything syncs over iCloud so the phone, iPad, and Watch stay in step.

Who it's for
Volunteer coaches and team parents managing youth soccer rotations under pressure. Sideline is for the person who wants every kid to get fair minutes and the right positions — and would rather watch the game than do the math.
Built for Apple platforms
Sideline is a native app for iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and watchOS 26, written in SwiftUI with SwiftData for local persistence and CloudKit for cross-device sync. The Apple Watch app is a true sideline remote, not a mirror of the phone.
