Exactly who, right on the screen
The next sub is on the live screen as real pairs: who comes off, who goes on. Tap a name to change it, cross one out, add another. Then one tap: Sub made.
Youth basketball subs:Fair minutes and an alarm you can't miss
Bench Boss plans your rotation so every kid gets their minutes, then buzzes, vibrates and flashes the moment a sub is due, with exactly who comes off and who goes on. Late arrivals, injuries and missed subs just rebalance the rest of the game.
Free to try. Works offline and installs to your home screen.
