Reviews

Loved by coaches

From Sunday league to youth academies, coaches are using Starting Lineup to plan their matchday.

I used to scribble formations on the back of an envelope. Now I set up the whole team sheet on the bus to the game and share it to the group chat. Absolute game changer.

U14s Manager

The sub plans feature is brilliant. I set up three different formations before the match and just tap between them at half time. So much easier than trying to remember it all.

Sarah K.

Sunday League Coach

Simple, fast, and it just works. I love that I can customise the kits to match our actual strip. The lads love seeing the team sheet as a proper pitch image.

Mark D.

Grassroots Coach

Finally a lineup app that doesn't try to do a million things. Drag the players, pick the kit, share it. That's all I needed and this nails it.

Tom R.

Academy Coach

We use it for our weekly 5-a-side to sort teams. Takes 30 seconds and everyone can see the lineup before they turn up. No more arguments about who's playing where.

5-a-side Organiser

My daughter's team love it when I show them the lineup on my phone before a match. They get so excited seeing their name and number on the pitch. Great little app.
