How to Track Fair Playtime: A Coach's Guide

Fair playtime is one of the biggest challenges youth soccer coaches face. You want to develop all your players, but you also want to win. How do you balance both?

The Problem with Manual Tracking

Many coaches try to track playtime manually—writing down minutes on a clipboard, trying to remember who played when, and hoping they didn't accidentally favor certain players. It's easy to make mistakes, and players notice when playtime isn't fair.

Why Fair Playtime Matters

Fair playtime isn't just about being nice to your players. It's about:

• Developing all your players' skills
• Keeping all players engaged and motivated
• Building team chemistry
• Complying with league rules
• Creating a positive team culture

How Futbol Coach AI Helps

Futbol Coach AI automatically tracks every player's minutes during the match. You enter your lineup at the start, and the app does the rest:

• Tracks minutes in real-time
• Shows which players need more playtime
• Recommends fair substitutions
• Generates reports after the match

Best Practices for Fair Playtime

1. Set a target playtime - Decide how many minutes each player should get
2. Use the app's recommendations - Trust the AI to suggest fair swaps
3. Review reports after matches - See how close you came to your targets

Real Coach Story

Coach Maria used to spend 30 minutes after each game trying to figure out if she'd been fair with playtime. "I was always worried I'd missed someone," she says. "Now Futbol Coach AI does it for me. I know every player got fair opportunities, and my players know it too."
