Starting lineup in the sports club – overview for coaches and teams

A clear starting lineup gives everyone on the team peace of mind. Players know if they're starting, which position they're playing, and who they're playing with. The coach has an overview of the formation and can communicate tactics clearly. With SportMember, the entire club gets a tool to create this overview.

The lineup builder is designed to be simple to use, yet powerful enough to handle all the team's needs – from youth teams to senior teams, from friendly matches to tournaments.

Overview for the coach

As a coach, you need to see the big picture. Who's available? Who fits best in which position? With SportMember, you only see players who have signed up for the match, so you know exactly who you have to work with.

You can build the lineup visually by dragging players onto the pitch. The formation displays immediately, and you can adjust positions until you're satisfied. Everything saves automatically, so you can return and make changes later.

Overview for players

Players see the lineup directly in the app. They can check if they're starting or on the bench and prepare for their role in the match. The visual presentation makes it easy to understand where they fit in the formation.

You decide when the lineup becomes visible. Maybe you want to wait until the day before the match, or maybe it should only be shown in the locker room. The flexibility gives you control over communication.

A tool for the entire club

SportMember's lineup builder works across all teams in the club. Each team has its own system, but the administration is the same. This makes it easy for the club to have a uniform approach to lineups and tactics.

New coaches can quickly get started because the tool is intuitive. Experienced coaches get a professional tool to communicate their visions. And players get a clear message about what's expected of them.

With overview for both coaches and teams, the match starts with clarity instead of confusion. Everyone knows the plan and can focus on performing.
