CoachingBase is a growing training library by coaches for coaches. Share your best drills, use ideas from other coaches and plan your training faster than ever. HOW WE'RE DIFFERENT Most coaching apps hand you a finished library and that's it. We're the opposite: CoachingBase grows with every coach who joins. You can copy drills from other coaches, adapt them to your team, add your own. The more coaches contribute, the stronger the collection becomes — for everyone. The more coaches join in, the better it gets: post your own drills, refine sessions, share what works. We start with 800+ tested drills and 300+ complete session templates as a foundation. You can contribute or just use it. KEY FEATURES • 800+ drills from real coaching practice — filterable by age, category, focus • 300+ complete training sessions to copy and adapt • Add your own drills and share them with the coaching community • AI planner — complete session in 60 seconds, methodically structured • Digital tactics board — visualize formation, pressing, set pieces • Sketch import — photo of your hand-drawn drill becomes a digital drill • PDF export for notes on the touchline • Coaching staff calendar for collaborative planning in a club • Synced across all your devices — phone on the pitch, tablet in the coaching staff, everything up to date FOR WHOM Coaches in kids', youth and senior football. Club coaches with multiple teams as well as ambitious hobby coaches. FREE Core features (drill library, planning, sharing, PDF export) are and stay free. AI features will eventually go paid but transparently announced — no surprise paywall. TRUST Built from real coaching practice by an active club coach with 6+ years of experience. GDPR-compliant, EU hosting, no ads in the app. JOIN IN Magic-link via email — no password needed, no credit card. First training session done in under a minute.
