Soccer Tactical Coach

A tactics board for football coaches, built for the touchline rather than the desk. Set up your squad once, pick a shape for each team, drag players where you want them, and build a move step by step. Press play and watch it run. THE PITCH • A full pitch with every marking, drawn to the real 105 x 68 proportions • Fills the screen in either orientation, on iPhone and iPad • Pinch to zoom in up to five times, or double-tap to jump in and back out • Light and dark, mown turf patterns, and an optional coaching grid with labelled zones PLAYERS • Two teams of eleven, each in your own kit colours • Name, short name, number and position for every player, kept between sessions • Drag anyone anywhere with one finger • Eight formations built in — 4-4-2, 4-3-3, 4-2-3-1, 3-5-2, 3-4-3, 4-4-1-1, 5-3-2 and 5-4-1 — applied to either team and mirrored automatically for the opposition • Save any shape you have arranged as a formation of your own DRAWING • Straight and curved arrows, with separate styles for a run and for a pass • Bend an arrow after you have drawn it by dragging its middle • X markers to mark a man, a space or a spot, resized where you drop them • A freehand pen, and an eraser that lifts whole strokes • The ball, wherever you need it MOVES, STEP BY STEP • Build a move as a sequence of steps, each one a full snapshot of the pitch • Add, duplicate and delete steps, and jump between them from the strip • Press play and the players and the ball travel smoothly between positions • Half, normal, one-and-a-half and double speed SAVED AND SAFE • Name and save as many boards as you like, and reopen them later • Everything saves as you work, so nothing is lost if you are interrupted • Undo and redo cover every action on the board No account, no sign-up, no adverts and no tracking. The app does not connect to the internet, and nothing you do in it leaves your device — which means it works exactly the same on a touchline with no signal.
