Sideline: Grassroots Football

Free to start: build your squad, set formations, and run your first 3 matches with the live matchday cockpit. Unlock Pro for the full season.

Sideline is the matchday companion for grassroots football coaches. Prepare your squad, build formations, and run the game live — all from one app that works fully offline, pitchside, with no signal required.

PLAN • Build your squad with shirt numbers, positions, availability and a club captain. • Create formations for 5, 7, 9 and 11-a-side — start from presets or drag your own, and save custom shapes. • Line up both teams on one pitch with the Matchup board.

RUN THE MATCH • A live matchday cockpit: per-period clock, start/pause, half-time and full-time. • Tap-off / tap-on substitutions with live per-player minutes. • Record goals (scorer + assist), cards, and an optional pitch view where you position players by formation and drag them live. • Cup extra time and penalty shootouts when a game is level. • A post-match summary with the result, goals, cards, minutes and a coach's note.

REVIEW THE SEASON • A season record — W/D/L, goals for/against, form, top scorers — and a per-player table of appearances, minutes, goals and assists.

YOUR DATA, YOUR DEVICE • Everything is stored locally and works offline. No accounts, no tracking, no ads. • Back up or move your data with a single export file, and import it on another device.

FREE & PRO Free includes one team, the full squad and formation tools, the matchup board, import/export, and your first 3 matches on the full Match Runner. Sideline Pro — a one-time unlock — adds unlimited match running, season history & stats, fair-play automation, and multiple teams.
