The simplest scheduling app for pickup soccer
Know you've got enough for a proper game before you head to the pitch — one tap, no app to download.
Pickup soccer lives or dies on numbers. Too few and it's a kickabout; too many and half the group is watching. TeamSpot gives you a live headcount: set the recurring match once, share one link, and everyone taps In, Maybe, or Out — so you know whether you've got enough for small-sided or a full game before anyone leaves home.
How it works
- 1Create a group and set your recurring schedule.

- 3Everyone taps In, Maybe, or Out. You see who's coming.
Why groups use TeamSpot for this
See if you've got a game
The running count tells you whether it's 5-a-side or a full match — so you can rally a few more or call it early, not at the pitch.
No app, no holdouts
The one guy who won't install another app just taps a link. Higher response, fuller games.
Set the match once, it repeats
Sunday mornings, every week — TeamSpot handles the recurring schedule and the reminders.
Balance the sides
Know your numbers ahead of time so you can sort even teams before kickoff instead of scrambling.
Fielding a full side every week
Soccer is unforgiving about numbers in a way most pickup sports aren't. Seven-a-side needs seven or you're playing a man down the whole match; eleven-a-side falls apart fast without subs, because someone always rolls an ankle by minute twenty. You're not just counting to a minimum, you're counting past it — enough to field a side and enough to rotate so nobody's dead by the second half.
A live headcount is what lets you make that call before kickoff instead of at it. TeamSpot runs your match on a recurring link with In/Maybe/Out taps, so you can watch whether you've cleared a full side plus subs and, if you haven't, rustle up a couple more while there's still time. Set your minimum and the group sees when the match is actually on versus when it's touch-and-go.
Booking the pitch with a headcount you trust
Pitch hire is the thing that makes soccer organizing genuinely stressful. Someone fronts real money for the slot, and the split only works if the people who said yes actually turn up. Ten confirmed at booking time and six on the night means everyone else eats the difference, and that's how a weekly game quietly dies. The booking decision needs a number you can lean on, not a group-chat vibe.
TeamSpot won't take the money — split the pitch fee however your group already does, cash, Splitwise, whatever. What it gives you is the trustworthy count underneath: confirmed Ins you can book against, and a record of who committed if the split gets contentious. Weather calls ride on the same thing — when you have to cancel for a waterlogged pitch, one update reaches everyone who'd said they were coming, not just whoever's watching the chat.
Frequently asked questions
Do players need to download an app to join the game?
No. You share one link and everyone taps their status in the browser — no install and no account required to RSVP.
Can I set up a recurring weekly match?
Yes. Set the day and time once and TeamSpot repeats it automatically, sending reminders before each game.
What if more people want in than we can fit?
Set a capacity and TeamSpot runs a waitlist — if someone drops, the next person is moved in automatically.
Is TeamSpot free for a pickup soccer group?
Yes — creating a group and sharing it with your players is free.
How do I handle needing a hard minimum to even play?
Set your minimum out loud and track the Ins against it. If a seven-a-side is stuck at five the night before, you know to either recruit two or call it early — a wasted trip to a booked pitch is worse than a rescheduled one. The count gives you a decision point instead of a surprise at kickoff.
Can I split the pitch cost through TeamSpot?
No — TeamSpot deliberately stays out of money. It handles the headcount, not the wallet, so use Splitwise, a payment app, or plain cash for the fee. What it does give you is a reliable list of who actually committed, which is usually the part that makes splitting the cost fair in the first place.
