Live Football Stats App for Grassroots Coaches — Track Goals & Assists Pitch-Side

The Problem With Tracking Stats at Grassroots Level

Every grassroots coach wants to track player performance. But doing it properly during a match — while managing subs, shouting instructions, and keeping an eye on the scoreboard — is nearly impossible with a pen and paper.

Most coaches end up trying to remember who scored at the end of the game, or relying on a parent with a notebook. Stats are approximate, sometimes wrong, and often forgotten before Monday morning. And parents who couldn't attend? They find out at collection time.

SquadGod's Matchday feature is built for the reality of the touchline. Fast. Mobile. One-tap stat recording.

What You Can Track Live During a Match

Live Match Updates for Parents

Every match has a unique shareable link. Share it with parents before kick-off and they can follow the action in real time — seeing goals, assists, and the live score as it happens, even if they're stuck at work or away for the weekend.

Parents don't need an account. They just open the link in their browser. Every time you log a stat on the touchline, their screen updates. For youth football in particular, this is transformative — parents feel connected even when they can't be there.

Coaches can also drop "Coach Says" messages directly into the live feed — tactical updates, encouragement, or post-match commentary shared instantly.

Stats Feed Directly Into Leaderboards & SquadScore

Every stat you record during a match is automatically added to your player leaderboards and SquadScore points tally. Goals become goal rankings. Tackles become tackling stats. POTM awards earn bonus points.

By the time you've driven home, your squad's performance data is already updated. Players can open the app and see how many points they earned before the post-match analysis has even started.
