Show HN: I made a football/soccer formation and squad app 5 by chocoboaus2 | 0 comments on Hacker News. Inspired by watching my sons coach using a carry around whiteboard, plus also starting to coach my wifes over 30s womens amateur team I wrote a mobile app for amateur football/soccer coaches.

It's free and its designed to just be an easy thing for coaches to take around with them and has no cost. I know I'm not the first to do this but many of them are targeted towards professional coaches and a lot more complex than they need to be in my opinion. Some are attached to expensive hardware subscriptions for more in-depth player management than amateur coaches...
