Build your starting lineup straight from the team calendar
Drag players onto the tactics board, see who has signed up, and share the lineup with the squad before kick-off.
More than a tactics board – linked to who is actually coming
Before a big match you’ve probably been racking your brain all day trying to work out who starts. Keeping the names in your head is one thing, but you need a complete overview.
The lineup builder is part of SportMember’s team management system. Drag and drop players from the team sheet onto the tactics board, build your preferred lineup – and it is visible to the whole squad.

Starting XIPlan, share and evaluate the lineup
Everything around the starting lineup – before, during and after the match.
Drag, drop and adjust until it’s right
Drag players onto the board and move them around to specific positions. Play with fast wingers in a classic 4-4-2, or go 4-3-3 – it’s up to you, and you can always adjust and change the lineup.
Shirt numbers are shown whether a player is starting or on the bench, and the board adapts to the sport your team is registered with.

SavedPick from the players who are coming
A lineup requires people to turn up. Players sign up for the match in the shared team calendar, so as a coach you can always see how many are attending and which ones.
Don’t bother going through the whole squad when only half the team is showing up on Saturday – build the lineup from the players who have said yes.
- See who has signed up
- Build from attending players
- Every lineup saved to its activity

16 attendingNotes and a coaches-only dialogue
Every activity has a coaching dialogue that keeps the conversation between the coaches, without the players knowing. Discuss the lineup before the match and agree on the plan.
During the match you can attach notes to individual players – things to raise at half-time – and after the match you can note down the key evaluations for next time. Notes are only visible to coaches.

- Notes attached to players
