STEP 2
SCHEDULE YOUR GAME
You can add a single game or schedule a season.
We recommend that if you schedule a season, you create games that match the number of your pitch bookings.
Once you have created a game, you can invite your players.
STEP 3
INVITE YOUR PLAYERS
Add players in seconds. Enter the player’s name.
If you enter the player’s mobile number, you can send them a game invite via SMS text.
When players have responded, it’s easy to see who’s said they are playing.
Say goodbye to the chaos of managing countless messages and comments.

STEP 4
PICK YOUR TEAMS
Allocate a player to a team.
You can rate players from 1-5 stars. Rating players will help you create balanced and fair teams. Just get the team scores to be as even as possible.
Only players who have accepted the game invite will be on the list by default.
STEP 5
RECORD YOUR GAME
- Use Apple Watch Integration and record goals and assists as they happen in the game. Create the ‘Watch ID’ for the game and enter the code into the ‘KickAbout.Me – Manager Watch App’.
- Enter goals when the game has ended. Using the ‘Post Match Stats Commentary’

STEP 6
VOTE FOR POTM & MORE
Once the final whistle has blown and the match has ended, players can then vote for their POTM.
They are also given the opportunity to award other players with KAPs (KickAbout Points) for their noteworthy actions in the game.

MAKE YOUR OWN LEADERBOARDS
Take your games to the next level and create a leaderboard for your games and teams.
Add an extra layer of competitiveness to your friendly and casual games. It’s not all about being top goalscorer. We have designed our KAPs (KickAbout Points) system so that anyone can earn points and become top of the leaderboard.
The awards are based on Goalkeeping, Defence, Midfield, Attack and, most importantly, Attitude.
