About Rotat8
Solving the touchline puzzles of grassroots football, one match at a time.
It started at the end of a girls match. Final whistle, both teams talking, and nobody could agree on the score. Not because anyone was being difficult — just because no one had been keeping proper track. Who scored the second goal? Was that before or after the sub? Nobody knew for certain.
I coach a girls team in one of the West Riding County FA leagues, like most coaches at this level. No budget, no staff, no analyst with a laptop — just me on the touchline trying to give every child a fair amount of time, log the goals as they go in, and remember who I've already put on in which quarter.
The non-competitive side of junior football is where the pressure quietly builds. Every player deserves game time. Parents are watching. The kids notice. A notepad in the rain is fine until it isn't — until you realise mid-game you've lost track.
"I built Rotat8 to fix that. Not as a product, but as a solution to a problem I was having every weekend."

Help us shape the future
Rotat8 is brand new and we’re looking for coaches to try it for real and tell us what needs fixing. Not a polished pitch — just an honest tool from someone who’s stood where you’re standing.
