Need a Player

Need a Player is the easiest way to keep your soccer games full. Whether you're a captain organizing weekly pickups or a player looking for games to join, Need a Player connects the right people to the right pitch at the right time. FOR CAPTAINS Post a one-off game or a recurring weekly pickup. Set your team's skill level, age range, and number of players. Invite players from your roster in one tap, let walk-ons apply, and watch the spots fill up. The Roster tab gives you a single view of your squad — add or remove players, send quick nudges, and reach anyone whose contact details are visible. FOR PLAYERS Browse open games near you by distance, skill range, position, and day of week. Apply with one tap, see every confirmed game in My Activity, and get notified the moment a spot opens. Tag yourself with jersey colors and preferred positions so the right captains find you.

Notifications are only for things that affect your game — invites, accepted applications, last-minute openings, post-game reports. You control exactly what reaches your phone. YOUR DATA, YOUR CONTROL We collect only what's needed to make the app work: your email, profile, and the games you're part of. A phone number is optional and only shared when you choose to make it visible. Location is used on-device to sort nearby games — it never leaves your phone or reaches our servers. Delete your account at any time from inside the app. Never short a player.
