Netball Substitution Calculator
The free netball substitution calculator built for coaches — generate a fair, quarter-by-quarter rotation plan in seconds for any squad size. Set each player's preferred positions and the tool builds every lineup around them, remembers who sat out and what they played last game, and spreads bench time and positions evenly across the whole season. Shuffle for a different valid plan, fine-tune it by hand, then print or lock it in.

Quick How-To
1. Add your players using the "Add Player" button, and remove players with the trash icon.
2. (Optional, but powerful) Set each player's primary and secondary preferred positions. This is the feature that makes the plan actually useful — instead of a generic rotation, every quarter respects who plays where, so shooters stay shooters and defenders stay defenders, while still rotating bench time fairly across the game.
3. Click Calculate Substitutions to generate a 4-quarter plan.
4. Use Shuffle for a different valid plan, or tap Edit on a quarter to manually swap two players.
5. Create an account and click Lock In to save the plan — it remembers who sat out and what position they played, so future games spread bench time and positions fairly across the season.
6. Click "Print Substitution Plan" for a printer-friendly version.
