Reduce Parental Angst
Oversight For Easy Game-Time Management
Managing game time can be challenging for sports admins, coaches, volunteers and parents.
With junior players, playtime is often a point of contention, leading to frustration on all sides. Perceptions of unfairness can arise—and sometimes, these are justified.

This clarity makes conversations easier and faster for coaches, parents, and administrators—helping everyone stay on the same page.
Policy and Compliance

Managing fair game-time policies across teams, clubs, and leagues can be a logistical challenge.
Many sports organisations are committed to equity and integrity, yet often find it hard to turn these values into actionable policies.
Rookie Me Hub simplifies this process with comprehensive game data oversight, seamlessly connecting teams with their clubs and leagues to support fair play.
Using Rookie Me Play to record data from each game and analysing the data over a season in Rookie Me Hub, administrators gain valuable insights and reports to support policy implementation and compliance. With customisable thresholds, club and league admins can easily spot areas for improvement and ensure standards are met.
Player Retention
Keeping kids in the game
Sports organisations invest heavily in recruiting new players, but keeping them engaged is an ongoing challenge.
Global research highlights a troubling 30% annual drop-out rate in junior and youth sports.
When players are frequently benched or limited to specific positions, they may lose interest or feel they’re not good enough—leading to drop-outs.
Rookie Me Play tracks playing time across every position, for every game, providing seasonal oversight on Rookie Me Hub of player equity to assist in promoting fair opportunities. By fostering an inclusive environment focused on participation rather than just winning, players are kept engaged.
Users of Rookie Me Play report significant reductions in annual player churn, with rates dropping well below 20% in some cases.
Coach Retention
Support and Retain Quality Coaches
Retaining great coaches can be tough, and burnout is a genuine concern.
Often, coaches lack the time, resources, and support to gather meaningful data, leaving them to make player and team decisions based on memory and guesswork.
Rookie Me Play eases this burden by delegating game-day data collection into a single, centralised platform: Rookie Me Hub—allowing coaches to focus on what they do best: coaching.
Clubs and leagues can show their commitment to coach development by providing tools, real-time data access, and player management support. This enables comprehensive post-match and season analysis, ultimately supporting coaches' growth and effectiveness.
Backed by research
Research Point 1
Lack of game time for a player is a Top 5 contributing factor for disengagement with Australian rules football.¹ The primary reason for participation in alternative sports was based on the opportunity for more game time, more touches during the games and greater scoring opportunities.¹
Research Point 2
It is well established that playing multiple sports from a young age leads to a wider skill set, by extension the rotation of players through multiple positions on the field will likely result in a more well-rounded footballer²,³.
Research Point 3
Stint duration of an individual athlete results in an exponential decay in running intensities i.e., the longer a player is on the field, the greater the decrease in their running output⁴. There is also a strong correlation with overuse injuries and training exposure / volume of exercise, highlighting the need to properly manage an athlete’s playing and training time⁵,⁶.
