How to Set Up Game Day

Game Day is where Soccer Dad really shines. Set your lineup, plan fair rotations, and track everything live during the match.

1

Go to Game Day

Open the Game Day section and select the upcoming game you want to manage. If you haven't created a game event yet, do that first in the Schedule tab.

2

Select Your Players

Choose which players from your roster are available for this game. Players marked as unavailable in attendance will be automatically excluded.

3

Set Your Formation

Pick a formation (e.g., 4-3-3, 3-2-1) and assign players to positions on the field. Drag players to their spots or tap a position to assign.

4

Configure Rotations

Set the rotation interval and choose a goalie rotation mode. Soccer Dad will generate a fair rotation plan that gives every player equal playing time.

5

Start Tracking

When the whistle blows, start the game clock. Track the score, log goals and events, and follow the rotation plan for substitutions throughout the match.
