Integrated match calendar with lineups and statistics recording

Match day involves more than just showing up and playing. You need to plan lineups, record what happens during the game, and capture statistics for player development. With Holdsport's integrated match calendar, you get all these tools built directly into each match activity – no need for separate apps or paper forms on the sideline.

Create your lineup visually on a pitch diagram, record match statistics in real-time, and save everything automatically to the activity. Coaches, players, and parents can see the lineup before the match, and statistics are available immediately after. It creates transparency and gives valuable data for analyzing performance and planning training sessions.

Visual lineup creation and match statistics in one system

When you create a match in the calendar, you can build your lineup directly on an interactive pitch. Drag and drop players into their positions, add substitutes on the bench, and adjust formations to match your tactics. The lineup is saved to the match and visible to everyone on the team.

During the match, you can record key events and statistics. Track goals, assists, yellow and red cards, substitutions, and other important moments. The system keeps everything organized and linked to the specific match, making it easy to look back at performance data from previous games.

After the match, you can create a complete match report with the final score, goalscorers, man of the match voting, and detailed statistics. Everything is stored in the calendar, so you have a complete history of all your matches throughout the season.

Why use integrated lineup and statistics tools

Keeping lineups and statistics in separate systems creates extra work and increases the risk of losing data. When a coach uses a notes app for lineups, a spreadsheet for statistics, and the calendar for match times, important information ends up scattered across multiple places. With everything integrated in one system, you save time and ensure nothing gets lost.

Players appreciate seeing the lineup before match day. It helps them prepare mentally and understand their role in the team. Parents can see if their child is starting or on the bench, reducing the number of questions you receive before each match. The transparency builds trust and sets clear expectations.

Recording statistics isn't just about having numbers – it's about player development. When you can show a player their progress over the season, backed by actual data, it becomes a powerful coaching tool. You can recognize improvement, identify areas for development, and have concrete discussions about performance.

For clubs that compete in leagues or tournaments, having organized match data is essential. You can quickly reference previous results, track your record against specific opponents, and provide documentation when needed for league administration or club reports.

The integrated approach also means better data quality. When everything happens in real-time within the same system, you're more likely to capture accurate information. There's no delay between the match and data entry, and you don't have to rely on memory to recall what happened days after the game.
