Frequently asked questions

Yes. SubCav is free to use, with no subscriptions, no paid tiers, no ads, and no locked features. We do not ask for payment information.

No, but most coaches prefer it. SubCav runs on iPhone and Android, and there is also a web version at app.subcav.com that works in any browser. It is the same account either way, so your teams and history follow you.

You tell it how long the game is and how often you want to substitute, and it builds a block-by-block plan for the whole match. It distributes playing time as equitably as your roster allows, and it makes sure no player sits more than one block in a row while another player stays on the field. You can also restrict which positions a player can be assigned, and set your goalies by half or by specific blocks.

Use manual mode. You place every player in every position for every block, with no automation at all. You can save any setup as a game plan and load it again later.

Update who is available and regenerate the plan. It takes seconds, and you can do it right up to kickoff.

Yes. Share a link and parents see the live score, who is on the field, and each player’s minutes as they add up. No app and no account needed on their end. You can also text the link to everyone on the roster at once, to parents who have consented to receive messages.

Yes, in settings. Some coaches would rather not put minutes in front of the sideline, and that is a supported choice.

Open SubCav again and the game will still be running, with the clock correct. Time while the app was closed is accounted for, and any substitutions that were due during that window are applied when you come back.

SubCav is built specifically for soccer, including positions, goalies, and halves. It is not designed for other sports.
