SoccerPlanner helps the amateur coach plan a weekly position plan for a soccer team with up to 13 players on the field. With its ability to customize substitution periods, it makes tracking which players are on the field easy with a visible list of available substitute players. Players can be added, removed, or edited on the roster at any time. Use the Auto feature to have the software assign positions and substitutes automatically. Although it is possible to use the software during an active game with a tablet, for example, SoccerPlanner has the ability to print your detailed plan either with text only or graphically, duplicating the field format seen on the screen. Plans can be sent to a printer or printed to a PDF file.
SoccerPlanner features:
· Detailed print-outs of each week’s plan
· Roster Manager with individual player preference and contact details
1. The field shows the maximum 13 player positions recognized by SoccerPlanner. After your roster of players is established (described later in this manual), a list of those names will appear in the Substitution list (#6). Those names can be dragged to the blank lines at each position.
2. The Save button is used to save your changes as you build and modify your plan. The Copy button is a shortcut to use which allows you to automatically fill the period positions shown with either next or previous period’s assignments.
3. The Period selector is used to move forward and backward through your period assignments. A ‘Period’ is the interval of time for each set of position assignments during a single game. As you move through the periods, you will make different position assignments and rotate substitutions on and off the field as you would during a real game. The Game selector moves through each individual game’s assignments.
4. Start Time shows when a Period begins and how long it lasts in minutes. Total Games shows how many games have been created and saved to the planning database.
5. The progress bar shows graphically the amount of time during a single game that has elapsed given the period number you are currently viewing. Each tick mark is the end of a period.
6. The Substitution list shows the players who are on the roster but do not have a field assignment during the particular period are you currently viewing.
7. The + / - buttons located under each column of common field positions toggles the number of players in that column. The – button under the ‘Mid’ positions, for example, reduces the number of Mid positions available. Instead of having two center mid positions, you can reduce it to just one or none at all with the – button. The + button adds those positions back. If you are playing 11X11 soccer, you would consider reducing the Defense and Mid positions to 3 each, for example.
8. The Play Time Grid will show a table of each player and how much time they play either by period or by position.
9. Auto will allow position assignments to be made automatically. This function overwrites any assignments made manually prior to its use. However, changes can be made manually after its use.
1. Add a new player
2. Delete an existing player in the list by clicking on their name in the roster list and then selecting the Delete Player button.
3. Edit and existing player in the list by clicking on their name in the roster list and then selecting the Edit Player button.
4. Import an existing roster list. Note that selecting this option overwrites any players you may currently have added. Import first, then add, delete, and edit.
5. Send your roster list to a printer or to a PDF file.
6. Use the Change Team Name button to edit the name of the existing Team you are working on.
7. Save your changes to the roster.
8. Close out of the Roster Manager. If you have made changes, you will be asked if you want to save those changes. By selecting no to this prompt, all of your changes will be lost and you will return to the main window.
9. The Roster Manager keeps a count of players on your team.
There are two formats to print, text only and Graphics. Text only does not show the field formation, rather it lists each period sequentially.
