Coach more.Juggle less.
Every head coach in the big leagues has a bench coach. Now you do, too—one who knows your roster, your league's rules and every game so far, and helps you make the right calls.
Invite-only this season. Just sign up and you're on the list!
Ready in minutes.
Name the team, add the roster, and Scout builds the lineup you'd build with an hour to think—in seconds, every game. Under three minutes, no manual.
Build it your way.
Let Scout build the whole lineup, set the parts you care about and let Scout finish it, or start from one you've already made. Then change anything with a tap.
Built by ScoutScout built the batting order and every position, matched to how ready each player is there.
Tap any cell
See the open spots that inning and how ready the player is for each, then move them in one tap.
The order rotates
Last game's bottom third bats first next time.
Who sat last game
Scout remembers who sat last game, and in which innings, and won't sit them in the same inning again.
Run the game from one hand.Lose the paperwork.
Game Day mode takes your planned lineup into the game. Start the game and it tracks playing time as it actually happens, the piece most coaching products miss. And when changes happen—someone shows up late, leaves early, needs a break—you tell Scout what's happening and the rest of the game re-plans itself. No pencils, no scrambling.
Scout's pick
Scout notices.You decide.
Scout knows your roster, your league's rules and every game so far—so it speaks up before you have to ask. Ask a question or make a change in plain English; Scout does it, shows you exactly what changed, and keeps Undo one tap away.
Know it was fair.If anyone ever asks, show them.
Every inning, every position, every game—recorded from what you actually did, summarized for you, and ready to share with a parent as innings and positions.

FAQ
How is this different than GameChanger?
GameChanger records the game. Bench Coach is the bench coach: optimized lineups, substitutions, playing time, your league's rules and the season record—the parts no product has been doing.
What if my league isn't on Bench Coach yet?
New leagues are coming soon—sign up now and get on the list!
Can my assistant coaches use Bench Coach?
Yes, it's built for a staff. Invite them, set what each can do, and everyone works from the same roster, schedule and lineup. Even ‘Practice Helpers’ can be designated and given unique team access, like view-only practice plans.
What do parents see?
A lineup link and the share view of the Scouting Report: innings and positions, no bench counts, no coach notes. From the lineup link parents can even ask Scout about league rules or their player’s innings in that game.
Is my roster private?
Your team's data is yours. Only the coaches you invite (and grant permissions) can see it, and parents see only what you share. The home page uses a cookie-free visitor count, and inside the app we keep a simple record of which pages and features coaches use so we can fix what's confusing. It stays in our own system and never includes a player's name.
Can I change what Scout builds?
Yes—everything. Scout builds it, you always have the final say, and Undo is one tap away.
Does it work in the dugout without an internet connection?
Yes. Bench Coach’s ‘Game Day’ feature continues recording game progress and syncs when connectivity resumes.
What does Bench Coach cost?
Free this season for invited teams.
Your schedule
Paste your TeamSnap or any calendar link once. Bench Coach keeps checking it, so a moved or canceled game shows up on your schedule.
Your lineup link
Text one lineup link before the game; it stays right all game. Substitutions show up as you record them.
Your account
One Google account, every device. Build the lineup on a laptop, run the game from your phone in the dugout.
