Make game-day planning simpler
Keeping track of who played where, who sat last inning, and who needs an opportunity can distract you from coaching. Use a game plan to make those tradeoffs easier to see.

Check bench assignments before the first pitch
Position eligibility, pitch limits, and minimum-play requirements vary by league. Always verify the plan against your rules and the players available.
Questions coaches ask
Does it guarantee equal playing time?
No automatic plan can guarantee every league-specific requirement. Use the bench and playing-time information to check fairness.
Does it include a batting order too?
Yes. The Dugout Dad creates a broader game-day plan with batting and defensive assignments together.
Made for the parents who show up
The Dugout Dad began as a real coaching problem. We also make apparel for the baseball dads, moms, and volunteers who spend their weekends at the fields.
