What is CoachBob?

CoachBob is an application for the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch that assists youth soccer coaches in assigning positions to players (including automatic assignment based on percentage of the game played, if desired), as well as tracking game scores for your team.

CoachBob supports several different field layouts and formations, and we will be adding more as requested by our users. If you already have CoachBob and would like to see a different layout/formation, email us the details, and we can add it!

Features

When setting up your team information, CoachBob allows you to:

  • Create one or more teams, each with its own field layout, and mark that team as active or inactive for the current season
  • Create a list of players for each team
  • Specify for each player whether they play offense, midfield, defense, or goal

On game day, you can enter "Today's Game" for your team (or you can set it up ahead of time, if desired), and use the following features:

  • Specify attendance for each player
  • Create position assignments using any of the following:
    • Manually selecting a non-assigned player for each position
    • Automatically filling all open positions with players who play that kind of position
    • Substituting a specified number of players not currently on the field into the game (randomly, but subbing out players who have been in the game the longest)
  • View all previous position assignments
  • View the current "bench" (those players not currently assigned to the lineup)
  • View the history of assignments for a particular position
  • eMail a list of the configured lineups (e.g., to assistant coaches)
  • Track the score of the game
  • Enter which player scored each goal for your team
  • Monitor the time elapsed in the game (to assist in knowing when to make substitutions)
  • Use the "team whiteboard" feature to hand-draw on a field diagram
