Built by a grassroots coach

I'm Alex Bowell, and I built Pocket Gaffer because I was doing the maths in my head on the touchline every Sunday — who'd played, who hadn't, and who was due on next, while trying to actually coach the game.

Grassroots football is run by volunteers. Nobody signs up to be cornered in the car park about minutes. Pocket Gaffer counts every player's time live, tells you who's next on, and keeps it fair across the whole season, so you can focus on the kids.

It's a small, independent UK app. If something's not working for your team, email me and you'll get a reply from me, not a bot.
