“Pocket Gaffer has become an essential part of my weekly coaching routine. The live feature is fantastic, parents can follow the game even when they can’t be there.”
Gary Bidwell · Maidenbower Panthers U8s
“Me and my coaching team use Pocket Gaffer every week. It helps us to plan the matchday team and subs, and also the parents really appreciate the Live Match Centre feature”

Common questions

Will I use it over the summer?

Grassroots football doesn't stop in May. Tournament mode keeps playing time fair across a whole day of back-to-back games, and friendlies count too, so pre-season is covered. The annual plan covers all of it for about £2.42 a month.

Can I manage multiple teams?

Yes. One subscription covers your account with support for multiple teams.

Can clubs pay instead of individuals?

Yes. You'll receive a receipt suitable for club expenses.

Is there a free trial?

Yes! Just sign up - no obligations, no credit cards. Try it out for 14 days and if you enjoy it you'll have the option to move to a paid account at the end of your trial.

Can I get the season free?

Yes. Every coach gets a personal invite link in the app. When 2 other coaches sign up with it, your account is free until 30 June 2027. No card needed.

Does my assistant need to pay or sign up to cover a match?

No. Pass the Whistle sends them a one-match link. They run the clock and subs, and the match saves to your season automatically.
