Touchline Studio is the complete training companion for soccer coaches who want to spend less time planning and more time coaching. PLAYER DEVELOPMENT TREE Map what each player needs to achieve over the season with a structured tree. Outcomes break into Capacities, Habits, Actions, and Evidence. Track progress with status updates, timestamped notes, and session links. Progress rings and status breakdowns roll up automatically so you can see where every player stands at a glance. AI-GUIDED WALKTHROUGHS Create sessions, drills, and development trees through a conversational flow. The AI walks you through coaching intent, focus, logistics, and structure, then drafts the full plan for you to review, edit, and refine. Regenerate individual drills or ask AI to rewrite specific activities. BUILT-IN COACHING GUIDE A comprehensive reference explaining every development node type with coaching questions, real soccer examples, and 10 full holistic tree samples covering U8 through U17 age groups. Contextual hints in the editor change based on the selected node type. PLAN YOUR ENTIRE SEASON Create teams, define seasons, and set default game formats and weekly practice schedules. New sessions start from your next scheduled practice slot. See your entire schedule at a glance and track focus areas and training intensity across your program. BUILD A REUSABLE DRILL LIBRARY Save drills to your personal library with tags, descriptions, equipment lists, and player counts. Search by keyword or filter by tag. Draw animated diagrams on the coach board with player markers, cones, ball, and movement arrows on multiple field styles including grass, whiteboard, chalkboard, and blueprint. LIVE SESSION TOOLS Run training sessions with a clear drill timeline. Use the built-in stopwatch to time drills, sprints, or any activity. Record splits with a single tap and tag players as they finish. Capture per-player notes during activities. Player timing history is automatically tracked across their profile. VOICE AND TEXT NOTES Take notes on individual players during practice using text or voice dictation. Notes are automatically linked to the session and player, building a complete development record over time. Record general session notes that aren't tied to any specific player. PLAYER EVALUATIONS Rate players using built-in starter templates or build custom ones from a unified skill catalog. Tap a category to grab all its skills or expand to cherry-pick individually. Compare performance over time with snapshots, track trends, and export reports to share with staff or parents. COACH JOURNAL Capture coaching reflections in a team journal or a general journal that isn't tied to any specific team. Write dated entries, or build multi-page notebooks that mix text, checklists, voice notes, sketches, and coach boards on the same page. Quick access from the Home tab for both team-specific and general coaching notes. ROSTER MANAGEMENT Import your roster from CSV or Excel files with a review step to catch errors. Track players across seasons, manage jersey numbers, and keep detailed player profiles with notes, evaluations, development trees, and timing history. MATCH SCHEDULING Schedule matches alongside your training sessions. Set lineups from formation templates. Keep your entire season organized in one place with opponents, kickoff times, and live match event tracking. SYNC ACROSS DEVICES Your data syncs privately through iCloud, so you can plan on your Mac and run sessions from your iPhone or iPad on the pitch. DESIGNED FOR COACHES No clutter, no social features, no distractions. Just the tools you need to develop players and run effective sessions. Whether you're coaching youth soccer or adult leagues, Touchline Studio adapts to your workflow. Download now and take your coaching to the next level.
