Game clock
The clock keeps moving
Subs need to happen while possessions, timeouts, and momentum keep changing.
For youth, rec & school basketball coaches
Always know who to sub next.
Run The Bench makes live, fair substitution calls during the game — so every kid plays the right minutes and you can focus on coaching, not the clock.
The problem
The sideline is chaos. Your subs shouldn't be.
Tracking minutes, fatigue, and fairness in your head while the game flies by is impossible. Run The Bench does the math in real time and tells you the next move — one tap, no spreadsheet, no guilt about who's sat too long.
Fair minutes
Someone's been sitting too long

You are trying to coach the game while everyone else is tracking court time.

Common questions
The quick answers
Does it tell me who to sub?
It suggests the next move — who to rest and who's owed minutes — but never makes the change itself. You confirm every substitution, so the call always stays yours.
Can I change my plan mid-game?
Yes. A foul, a tweaked ankle, a hot streak — rework your rotation in a tap and keep tracking court time.
How long does setup take?
A couple of minutes before tip-off — add your squad, pick your starting five, and you're ready to coach.
Who's it built for?
Youth, rec, and school basketball coaches — especially 8-10 player squads where fair court time actually matters.
Is my team's data private?
This waitlist site only asks for your email. The app is being designed so coaches can manage games without exposing unnecessary player or child data.
Will it work courtside?
It's built for the sideline. The game flow runs on your phone, so a patchy gym connection should not stop you mid-rotation.
