Spares & subs
Keep a list of the spares you trust and invite the right ones to any game in a few taps. Still short? Post the game on Finder and let nearby players ask to join.
Email and push invites are free
How it works
Step 1
Keep your regulars on the roster and your fill-ins on the spare list. Add spares one at a time with their email, phone and position, pull them from your phone's contacts, or import a list.
Step 2
Pick who to ask from your spare list, like a goalie or a forward, add a quick note, and send it. They hear about it by email, notification or text.
Step 3
Tell BenchApp how far ahead to look. If a game isn't full by then, it emails your spares for you.
Step 4
Post the game on Finder with the skill level and open positions, and nearby players can join the waitlist. You choose who gets the spot.
Spare fees
Set a spare fee for each invite, from free up to $100, or a default for the whole team. Turn on Pre-pay Required and spares pay by card before they can check in.
