## What is MatchDay Coach?

MatchDay Coach is the all-in-one coaching app built for youth soccer coaches. Stop juggling spreadsheets, notes, and group chats. Plan practices, build lineups, manage your roster, and walk onto the sideline ready.

AI PRACTICE GENERATOR
Tell MatchDay Coach what you want to work on, or pick a quick-start idea like Passing & Combination, Finishing, or Ball Mastery, and get a complete practice plan built in seconds. The AI pulls drills from your own library, matches them to your team's age group, fits everything inside your session length, and avoids repeating recent drills. Review and edit the full plan before saving, just like building one by hand.

PLAN PRACTICES LIKE A PRO
Build structured sessions from a built-in drill library organized into phases: Warm-Up, Technical, Small-Sided, Scrimmage, and Cool-Down. See animated field diagrams for every drill, track duration and intensity, and launch an on-field view that walks you through the session drill by drill. Start from a template or build your own from scratch.

BUILD LINEUPS IN MINUTES
Drag and drop players onto a visual pitch and watch your formation come together. Auto-generate lineups that respect each player's preferred positions and keep playing time fair across the whole team. Plan substitutions for every half or quarter so every kid gets their time on the field.

MANAGE YOUR FULL ROSTER
Add players with jersey numbers, preferred positions, and positions to avoid, or upload your whole roster at once from a photo, spreadsheet, or PDF. MatchDay Coach uses those preferences every time you auto-generate a lineup, so the right players end up in the right spots, automatically.

STAY ORGANIZED ALL SEASON
Schedule matches, track scores, and log goals by player, all in one place. See your season record and top scorers at a glance. Manage multiple seasons and multiple teams without ever switching apps.

SHARE LINEUPS INSTANTLY
Export your lineup as a PDF and share it with parents, assistants, or the team before kickoff. Works for any format from 4v4 all the way up to 11v11.

NEVER MISS MATCH DAY PREP
Set reminders for lineup prep the night before, the morning of, and 30 minutes before kickoff. MatchDay Coach keeps you ahead of the game, not scrambling in the parking lot.
