BenchPulse

BenchPulse is a mobile + web app for coaches and team managers to track real playing time, substitutions, and basic hustle stats during games in seconds. Most youth and amateur programs still rely on paper, memory, or messy notes, which leads to parent disputes, unclear development plans, and poor lineup decisions. BenchPulse focuses on the unglamorous but constant pain: who played, when, and how hard. The app provides a simple tap-based substitution timer, optional shot/turnover tags, and post-game summaries that are easy to share with parents and players. It also generates season-long reports (minutes distribution, lineup combinations, attendance) to support fairness policies and player development conversations. This is not trying to be full analytics or video breakdown; it’s a lightweight “truth layer” for game participation and accountability that works for one coach on a phone.
