Spooru vs SpielerPlus: an alternative for coaches
SpielerPlus is an app for organising teams: a calendar with confirmations, chat, statistics and line-ups. Spooru shares the organisation side, but adds what SpielerPlus does not mention on the pages we checked: season plans by age group and a library of exercises and sessions.

- SpielerPlus: Calendar of matches, training sessions and events with confirmation, training groups and calendar subscription to a personal calendar.
- Notifications and reminders

One notice per player, tournament and day. Each club sets the timings.
- SpielerPlus: Push notifications for last-minute changes and for players' confirmations or cancellations.
