Netball’s apps each do one thing. Game day needs them together.
Netball’s app market has grown fast — good tools for planning, statistics, training and simple scoring. But a netball Saturday is rotations, bibs, court time, shooting stats and a fence full of parents all at once. Here’s who does what, and what it takes to run the whole game in one app.
A netball-specific toolkit for planning — training sessions, court and lineup planning, rotation planning and match-day tactical notes, in one place.
Deep netball statistics — live stat collection, shooting accuracy, centre-pass success and season trends, with selection and trial support. Built for analysis rather than bench management.
A complete coaching ecosystem from former Diamond Madi Browne — training programs, session planning, athlete wellbeing, club communication and coach education.
Player development — skills coaching, fitness and conditioning, clinics, session plans and recovery guidance. For improving players between games.
A deliberately simple scorer — live scoring, quarter timers, a centre-pass indicator and score sharing with spectators. Ideal when all you need is the scoreboard.
The bar: the whole Saturday in one app
Netball fairness runs on two ledgers at once — the quarters each player gets AND the bibs they get them in — while the score moves and the shooters’ percentages decide the game. Very few apps put all of it in one place:
- All 7 bibs on a live court, planned quarter by quarter — GS to GK
- Automatic court-time tracking, with equal game time surfaced live
- Live shooting volume and percentage on your shooters as the game runs
- Centre-pass conversion, derived from one question at the first whistle
- Parents at the game live — score and clock on their phones, Player of the Match voting after it
- A season fairness record for every player
- Hands-free voice logging for senior grades — Kickd Callout, over a Bluetooth headset
Where Kickd fits
Kickd runs the game itself: all 7 positions on a live court, a quarter-by-quarter planner where moving a GS to GA is one tap, and auto-fill that builds a balanced-court-time lineup from who actually turned up. Every player’s minutes count automatically; your shooters carry their live shooting percentage on the court as the game runs; centre-pass conversion tracks all match from one question at the first whistle. Halves or quarters match your association’s format, parents follow the game free and cast a post-game Players’ Player vote on behalf of their child, and every match stores a fairness record — so fair court time is a number, not a feeling. Fully offline courtside.
Australian-built, NetSetGO ages to seniors, $40 per season for the whole team — and it pairs happily with your training and club tools. See Kickd for netball.
Keep the training app for the week and the stats platform if selection analysis is your thing. For the game — the rotations, the court time, the shooting numbers and the fence conversation — that’s Kickd.

What is the best netball app for game day?
It depends on the job. CoachMe Netball is a planning toolkit; GameStats goes deepest on statistics; NetHub and NETFIT cover training and development; ScoZo is a simple scorer. For running the game — court rotations, automatic court time, live shooting stats and parent engagement — Kickd is purpose-built for junior and club netball.
Which netball apps track court time automatically?
Most netball apps record the score or plan the week; court time usually lives on a paper grid. Kickd tracks it automatically from the match clock — every player’s minutes count up live across the quarters, the coach can see who is owed court time before each quarter starts, and every match stores a fairness record.
Does Kickd track shooting percentage and centre-pass conversion?
Yes — live. Your GS and GA carry their shooting volume and percentage on the court view as the game runs (misses are counted, so the number is real), and centre-pass conversion is tracked all match from one question at the first whistle: who takes the first centre pass?
How does position rotation work in Kickd?
The quarter-by-quarter planner shows all 7 positions per quarter, so moving a GS to GA between quarters is a tap and the whole rotation plan stays visible at once. Auto-fill builds a balanced-court-time lineup from who actually turned up, prioritising the players with the least season minutes.
Can parents follow the game and vote?
Yes. Parents join free with a code, watch the live score and clock from the sideline or home, and in the hour after the game cast a Players’ Player vote on behalf of their child. Junior teams show parents the aggregate score only — no per-player breakdown — which keeps the sideline calm.
Do any netball apps support voice control?
Kickd is the only netball app with sport-aware voice control. Kickd Callout — a premium add-on for senior grades — lets the coach log the game completely hands-free over a Bluetooth headset (the Shokz OpenComm 2 boom mic is the proven pick for courtside noise). Netball has no shirt numbers, so commands name the bib: "goal shooter" logs the GS goal, "miss goal attack" the GA miss. Recognition runs on-device and fully offline, built from netball’s own language rather than generic dictation.
