Never be short on match day.
Two drop out at 6pm, kick-off is at 8. SquadLock pings rated local players who can actually make it — while the votes, the roster and the pitch money take care of themselves.

Propose the match
Pick 2–3 time slots, set the pitch, open voting to the squad.
Step 2 · 20s

Step 3 · 20s
Short? Call a ringer
Two players out on Thursday. One tap notifies nearby ringers by position and skill.
Step 4 · 10s
Pay & play
Pitch cost splits automatically. No chasing the group chat for a fiver each.
Three ways you'll never be short again
Every squad has the same three failure modes: nobody commits, someone bails late, and there's no sub to call. SquadLock closes all three.
Panic Button
Someone drops out hours before kick-off? One tap pings nearby rated players by position. Gap filled, game on.
Ringer Marketplace
Local players, filtered by position, skill and a reliability score earned on real matches — so the sub who says yes actually turns up.
Commitment Voting
The squad votes, the winning slot locks automatically, and everyone's on the roster before the group chat can go quiet.
…and the rest of the admin, handled

Frequently asked
Is SquadLock really free?+
Yes — the app is free. Everything you need to run your squad (voting, ringer marketplace, payment splitting, tournaments) is included at no cost.
How do you find ringers near me?+
In the app, free. Ringers opt in with their area and the positions they play, and SquadLock matches them to nearby matches by distance band, position, and a reliability score earned on real matches.
Does it handle payments?+
SquadLock splits the pitch cost automatically across confirmed players. Payment is handled via your team's existing method (Monzo, Revolut, etc.) — we just do the maths.
Can I run tournaments?+
Yes. Create a tournament, set the format, open registration, and SquadLock picks the optimal bracket (round-robin, knockout, or groups). Teams and free agents can register, and scores update in real time.
Which formats are supported?+
5-a-side, 7-a-side, and 11-a-side — with squad sizes, quorum thresholds, and pitch templates tuned for each.
