PlayPodium

Every kid gets a fair run. Every coach has a blinder.

You put your hand up for the kids - and got handed the subs, the stopwatch and the sideline politics too. PlayPodium runs game day so you can actually coach.

Why coaches quit

Love the coaching.
Lose the chaos.

Fair time lives in someone's headFair game time is a league rule - but the volunteer tracking it has a whistle in one hand, a bleeding nose to deal with, and no tool beyond memory.
Fairness becomes a planSet the lineup, plan the swaps - PlayPodium forecasts every kid's minutes BEFORE kick-off and flags anyone getting short-changed. Every kid gets a fair run.
Parents notice minutesMost sideline blow-ups start with "my kid sat too long." The coach has nothing to point to, so it becomes their word against a feeling.
Show, don't argueEvery kid's minutes, live on the screen. The worst conversation in junior sport becomes a ten-second glance and a nod.
Sub chaos wrecks the dayWho's on? Who was coming off at 12? Who hasn't had a run? Every interchange is a small panic nobody signed up for.
The app watches the clockThe timer runs the halves, the next interchange sits right there on screen, and you tap Done when it happens. That's it. That's the job.
On the screen

The whole game day, handled.

Time on Field forecast: every player's planned minutes before kick-off, with a low-game-time warning
Fairness, before the whistleEvery kid's minutes forecast from your lineup and swaps - with a warning if anyone's short. A fair go you can show, not just promise.
Running match timer with the next interchange shown in a sticky bar
The clock, watched for youThe timer runs the halves and every planned swap sits below it with its minute - the next one always in view. No more "who was coming off again?"
Game Day Set Up: duration, checklist, interchange planning, lineup
Set up before you leave the carLineup, game length, checklist and planned swaps - minutes of work, one-handed. Carnival day? Pre-plan every game before you arrive.
Home dashboard: players, events, games and season at a glance
The season in one placeRoster, games, training and records - kept automatically while you do what you already do. Phones die. Seasons don't.
A player's season card: games, minutes, tries, position
Every kid's season, worth keepingAt season's end, every player gets a card - their games, minutes, meat pies and story. It lands in the family group chat, and it's the kind of thing that keeps a kid signing on next year.
Non-negotiables

Built like it matters.
Because it does.

/ 01Works with no reception

Fully offline at the ground. Every bush oval has a dead spot - the app doesn't care.

/ 02Free for coaches this season

No ads, no card details, no trial that blows up mid-August. Founding coaches get looked after.

/ 03Nothing to set up

No account, no setup wizard. Open it, add your team, coach. Nan could run it at half-time.

Your team's records live on your phone, not our servers. No child data is sold, shared, or even visible to us - ever. That's by design.

The Founding Edition

Get it before the app stores do.

This is the Founding Edition. It's not in the app stores yet - founders get it straight from us. You add it to your home screen yourself - twenty seconds, steps just below - and from then on it opens like any other app and works out where the reception dies.

Open PlayPodium then add it to your home screen - steps below
