Built By A Coach, Backed By Fairness

Build your lineup, adjust your assignments, and prepare your game-day printouts.

Fairer lineups for every player — on the web and on game day.

The Rec Ball Coach's Dilemma

Every rec ball coach faces the same challenges. You want to win, but you also want to be fair. The problem? There's no tool designed specifically for your unique needs.

Unfair Playing Time

Parents complain that their kids aren't getting enough playing time, and you struggle to keep track of who played where and for how long.

Position Favoritism

Parents pressure you to put their kids in "premium" positions like pitcher or shortstop, making it impossible to give everyone equal experience across all positions.

Manual Lineup Creation

You spend hours before every game trying to create fair lineups with pen and paper, only to have to redo everything when players are absent.

Parent Complaints

No matter how hard you try to be fair, parents still think you're playing favorites. You need proof that you're giving everyone equal opportunities.

No Performance Tracking

You can't track which positions each player has played, making it impossible to ensure balanced experience across all positions.

Outdated Technology

You're stuck using paper lineup cards and spreadsheets while other coaches have modern tools, making you look unprofessional and disorganized to parents and players.
