Ensure Fair Playing Time for Your Team

As a coach, especially in youth sports, ensuring that every player gets a fair amount of time on the field or court is crucial for development and team morale. This calculator helps you determine the average playing time each player should receive if time is distributed evenly.

How to Use the Calculator:

  • Total Number of Players: Enter the total number of players on your team roster.
  • Players on Field/Court: Enter the number of players that are active in the game at one time (e.g., 11 for soccer, 5 for basketball).
  • Game Duration: Enter the total length of the game in minutes.

    • The calculator first determines the total 'player-minutes' available in a game (Players on Field × Game Duration). It then divides this by the total number of players on the team to give you the average playing time per player. This is an essential tool for planning your substitutions and rotations.
