Every kid gets their minutes. Tracked, not guessed.
Equal game time is the promise every junior coach makes and the hardest one to keep from memory. Kickd puts live minutes on every player, prompts rotations at the right moment, and carries fairness across the whole season.
Live minutes on every player
Every player’s cumulative game time shows right on the live field or court view — on their chip on the field and next to their name on the bench.
Rotation alerts during the match
Kickd tells you when a rotation is due and lines up who’s coming on for who’s going off, so subs happen on time even when the game has all your attention.
Fairness-first auto-fill
Lineup auto-fill prioritises the players with the least game time across the season — the kid who missed minutes last week starts first this week, automatically.
Season-long fairness record
Minutes accumulate across every match, so you can see — and show — how game time balanced out over the season, not just today.
Sport-specific fairness built in
Rugby league interchange counting and FR/DH vest-sharing records (2026 NRL Junior Laws), rolling-sub rotation prompts for Oztag and touch, quarter-by-quarter position planning for netball.
Fair game time, answered
How do coaches give every player equal game time?
Kickd shows each player’s live minutes during the match, alerts the coach when a rotation is due, and suggests who comes on next — so equal game time is managed in the moment, not reconstructed afterwards.
How does Kickd track substitutions?
Every substitution is logged live with a tap (or by voice with Kickd Callout and a Shokz OpenComm 2 boom mic), and each player’s on-field minutes accumulate automatically from the match clock.
Does game-time fairness carry across the season?
Yes. Minutes are recorded per player per match, and lineup auto-fill prioritises the players with the least total season game time — so a child who missed minutes one week catches up the next.
What are FR and DH vests in junior rugby league?
From 2026, NRL Junior Laws require First Receiver (FR) and Dummy Half (DH) vests in U8–U12 rugby league so those roles are shared around the team. Kickd tracks who wears each vest each period and shows vest-sharing fairness across the season.
Does fair game time apply to senior teams too?
Senior coaches see the same live minutes and rotation tools, but selection stays entirely the coach’s call — Kickd informs the decision without forcing it.
