So, you've just volunteered to coach a youth sports team. Way to go! Here’s a super-simple way to manage your youth sports team roster and track play time, substitution, and rotations for equitable game time.
InTimer is the easiest equal playing time tracker and youth sports substitution manager designed for parent coaches. You can customize InTimer to track player game time across any youth team sport that runs on a game clock.

Stress-free Substitution Tracking for Volunteers, Parent Coaches and Newbies
The simple, intuitive interface lets you keep your eyes on the game rather than the clock. Automatic countdowns and haptics will let you know when and who to sub in and out.
Equal Playing Time for Kids to Learn, Have Fun and Grow
InTimer easily helps you align with 50% play time rules and tracks season-long playtime so you can make sure all kids get fair time on the field to build skills and love the game. (InTimer also helps reduce parent concerns by improving transparency.)
Flexible for Real Life Coaching
Easily build and organize your team roster. Injured player? Absent player? No problem. Once players are checked in for the game or real-time tweaks are made, InTimer helps you keep the game running smoothly.

The Design of InTimer
The Challenge
For volunteer and parent coaches, tracking playing time and managing fair substitutions during live games is tricky. Stopwatches and clipboards pull their attention away from what matters most—coaching the kids. These coaches needed a simple way to track equal playing time, not only for parent conversations, but ultimately to help young players get enough playing time to fall in love with their sport.
Our Approach
We designed InTimer around a simple philosophy: be useful in a coach's hand without consuming their attention. We started with large, readable type and substantial buttons that work even when coaches are focused on the field. Haptic feedback lets them feel interactions without looking down. We built automated substitution-pairings based on accumulated playing time, removing the mental burden entirely. The visual language needed to match the energy—bold and vibrant like the kids themselves.
The Result
An app so intuitive that coaches keep their eyes on the field, not the screen. InTimer now helps thousands of young athletes get equal opportunities to grow, while freeing coaches to do what they love: coach.
