Fair teams in minutes, not weekends
Every season someone sits with a spreadsheet, sorting kids by ability and juggling requests. Placement does the sorting so you can make the judgment calls.
Import the whole program
Read a PDF, Excel, or CSV roster or registration export, including GotSport. Age groups in the file become brackets like U8 Boys or U10 Co-ed.
Rank on your scale
One tap per player. Start with 1 to 3 in half steps or set your own. A filter shows who still needs a rank.
Balanced in one tap
Every team gets a pick each round, strongest players first. Requests and siblings are placed first, and anyone who doesn't fit goes to overflow.
How it works
Start a season and import your players
Brackets come from the file's age groups, with boys and girls kept separate or combined, your choice.
Rank every player
Work down the list one tap at a time. Families' coach requests and keep-together groups can be set as you go.
Add coaches and a team size
Each coach is one team in each bracket they coach. Add a placeholder team when a coach isn't found yet.
Balance, adjust, and save
Move or swap players, lock the ones who must stay, re-balance the rest. On iPad every team sits side by side.
Get the rosters out
Copy a team's roster to paste into your registration platform, or export the bracket to Excel with one sheet per team.
Children's names stay with you
Placement is a tool, not a platform. Your players' details live on your device and nowhere else.
No accounts. Open the app and start a season. Nobody signs in, including you.
No server. Players, ranks, and teams stay in the app and ride along with your normal device backup.
Names only in exports. Birth dates and gender help with brackets inside the app but never go into a copied roster or Excel file.
One price. $9.99 buys the app. No subscription, no ads, nothing inside it to unlock.
Questions directors ask
Does it work for sports other than soccer?
Yes. Placement knows players, coaches, brackets, and teams, not the sport. Use it for basketball, baseball, softball, lacrosse, volleyball, or anything else with balanced youth teams.
What files can I import?
PDF, Excel (.xlsx and .xls), and CSV. Roster and registration exports from GotSport work, and so do most spreadsheets with a name column. If the file has age group, gender, or rank columns, they're used.
How does the balancing work?
Requested players, sibling groups, and locked players are placed first. Then every team gets one pick per round, starting with your highest-ranked players, always going to the team with the fewest players and lowest total. Team sizes stay even and the strongest players spread out.
What if there are more players than spots?
Players who don't fit go to an overflow list. Add a team (a placeholder coach) and re-balance, or raise the team size.
Can two directors share a season?
Not in this version. Everything stays on one device. Share the Excel export or copied rosters with your board.
iPhone and iPad?
Both. On iPad, the teams screen shows every team side by side.
