From registration export to championship day
Run it in parallel before you replace anything.
Your import is a working copy. Build the season privately, review every exception, and publish only when you decide the plan is ready. XO Gridmaker never changes the source system you imported from.
Build balanced teams around your rules
Set offered divisions, birthdate cutoffs, and minimum, target, and maximum roster sizes. XO flags exceptions before they become game-week problems.
Draft a schedule that respects reality
Plan around hosted dates, field capacity, time windows, team availability, rest rules, and bye targets—then review and publish once.
Carry scores into standings and playoffs
Keep division standings and results connected to the schedule, surface scores that still need attention, and advance winners through playoff brackets.
Reach the right people without another list
Target league announcements and invitation campaigns to coaches, players, guardians, divisions, or individual teams, with reusable message templates.
Give every coach a stronger starting point
Curate an organization-wide football library, seed team playbooks, distribute practice plans, and give covered coaches pooled Coach Cal capacity.
Built for real league constraints
Your rules stay visible from import to roster.
Registration providers give you rows. XO Gridmaker turns those rows into an operational plan without hiding the exceptions that need a league director’s judgment.
- 1
Import without retyping
Map exports from the provider you already use, preserve player and guardian details, and add only new people to the working list.
- 2
Apply season-specific rules
Use the selected season's divisions, birthdate cutoffs, and roster ranges instead of one global rule that goes stale.
- 3
Build the teams you actually need
Fill existing seats first, calculate demand by division, and create teams from real registrations—not placeholder combinations.
- 4
Review every exception
See coaching gaps, requests, capacity pressure, and eligibility warnings before the roster plan is applied.
A league coaches want to stay with
Give every coach more than a roster and a schedule.
Make coach development part of what it means to join your league. Equip new and experienced coaches with a clear system, useful resources, and help at the moment they need it.
League-approved coaching library
Curate plays and teaching material, seed playbooks, and share practice plans so teams start from a consistent foundation.
Pooled Coach Cal capacity
3× shared capacity helps covered coaches build plays, plan practices, and answer the questions that otherwise slow them down.
A stronger coach experience
Give volunteers and returning coaches tools that help them feel prepared—and a reason to stay with your league.

From league setup to game day, one connected workflow.
- 1
Set up the league
Create the season, offered divisions, roster ranges, eligibility rules, approved team identities, and staff structure your program needs.
- 2
Import people and build teams
Bring in registration exports, review guardian contacts and player requests, assign coaches, and build only the teams your numbers require.
- 3
Plan and publish the season

Equip coaches and communicate
Share league-approved coaching material, resolve the needs-attention queue, and send the right update to the right audience.

- Portfolio, sport, league-group, or individual-league scope
- Role presets with custom capability controls
- Searchable organization, league, season, and team navigation
- Billing and ownership remain owner-only
Start with 20 teams. Add capacity anytime.
Add teams and head-coach licenses in 20-team blocks without changing plans or moving the organization to another system. Larger 100-team packs include a 10% volume discount.
- +20 teams: $39/month or $399/year
- +100 teams: $175/month or $1795/year
3× Coach Cal capacity is pooled across covered coaches.

- League-funded access for covered teams
- Head-coach-funded access when you prefer
- Coverage stays attached to the selected team
Questions
League Plan FAQ
Do I have to replace my registration provider?
No. Keep the provider you use today and import a copy of its CSV or TSV export, or paste the data directly. XO Gridmaker helps map the columns, keeps player and guardian contacts connected, and stages the records for review before you build teams. Nothing in your current provider is changed.
What can I do during the evaluation?
For 14 days, you can import registration data, configure divisions and roster rules, build teams, draft a schedule, and prepare your league library. Schedule drafts stay unpublished until you approve them, and coach and player invitations remain locked until you start the paid plan. You can cancel online before the evaluation ends and pay nothing.
Can XO Gridmaker build a youth football schedule?
Yes. The schedule planner can account for hosted dates, operating windows, locations and field counts, team availability, division start-time preferences, rest rules, and bye targets. It produces a draft for operator review before publishing games to both teams.
Does it handle standings and playoff brackets?
Yes. Recorded scores feed division standings and results, while the operator workspace calls out games that still need a score. Single-elimination playoff brackets can be seeded from the league and advance winners through each round.
Is the League Plan built for flag football?
Yes. Football league setup supports 4v4, 5v5, 6v6, and 7v7 flag, 7v7 touch, 11v11 tackle, and custom formats. Divisions, roster rules, schedules, standings, playbooks, and coaching resources stay connected to the selected game type.
How does League Plan pricing work?
Start with a 14-day evaluation using a credit card; you will not be charged until the evaluation ends. Then the self-serve League Plan is $39 per month or $399 per year and covers up to 20 teams and head coaches. Add another 20 teams and head coaches for $39 per month or $399 per year, and repeat as your league grows. A 100-team pack is also available with a 10% volume discount. Monthly and annual plans renew automatically until canceled, and you can cancel online anytime.
Does every coach get Coach Cal?
The League Plan includes 3× pooled Coach Cal capacity shared across covered coaches. Coaches can use Cal to build plays and practice plans, answer coaching questions, and put league resources to work with their team.
Do we have to include Film Room?
No. Your league can include Film Room for covered teams, or leave it available for individual coaches to purchase for themselves. You choose the approach that fits your program.
Can we share our own plays and coaching material?
Yes. League operators can curate plays and teaching material, seed team playbooks, and distribute practice plans so every coach starts from the same foundation while still coaching their own team.
