Player Development
Every player on a plan. Driving it themselves.
A living plan the player drives — a running conversation with their coaches, all season.
The player's plan
Development the player wants to open.
The plan lives in the player’s own app, written to them in second person — every session and match a chance to move it forward.
Your self-assessment
How you see your game
First touch under pressure
Keeping the ball under control when an opponent closes you down
Rated by Sofia · lands in her coach’s inbox
It starts with their voice
The player walks the four corners of their game and rates every attribute — before any coach writes a word.
Block 2 of 4 · Progression
First touch under pressure
Take your first touch away from pressure so you can play forward more often.

Goals that live at training
Every goal carries training and match-day cues — players tap “I worked on this”, build streaks, and rate themselves after each match.
Goal activity
First touch under pressure
Rushed it here — should’ve taken the extra touch.
Sofia · Turnover · 38′ · Sat 5:40pm
Good spot, Sofia. Watch how much time you actually had — scan once more before it arrives and that’s an easy turn.
Coach Russo · Sun 9:12am
A conversation, not a report
Players pin their own match clips to their goals — and coaches reply. A dialogue that runs all season, not one meeting a term.
For coaches
A rich plan in four steps.
Review, focus areas, goals, confirm — what used to be an evening per player is minutes.
- The self-assessment lands ready to build — nobody starts from a blank page
- SMART goals assemble from your curriculum, personalised and ready to edit
- Check-ins arrive in a to-do queue — the clip plays where it sits

Your curriculum
Written in your club’s football language.
Behind every goal sits a curriculum your Technical Director owns — every attribute articulated in the club’s own words.
- Every plan at the club teaches the same football
- Shaped in one place — no rewriting per player or per season
- Goalkeeping runs on the same rails, in goalkeeping language

Your TD’s words — every goal at the club speaks your football
Oversight
Every plan through the TD. Nothing published cold.
Every plan goes to the Technical Director before a family sees it — approve and publish, or request changes.
- Families book their player’s review themselves — no reply-all email
- Your FNSW Club Standards evidence builds itself in the background

The season plan
Planned once. Seen by everyone.
Each programme composes its own season — pre-season, blocks, review windows, finals — and the whole club runs to the same plan.
- Blocks set the rhythm of every development plan
- Milestones land in staff and family calendars automatically
- A planned review window prompts the TD — one tap opens the round

Getting started
Elite academy structure. Club-sized effort.
Load your philosophy, shape the curriculum, send the invites — the loop runs itself from there. A professional academy’s framework, run by volunteer coaches in minutes a week.
We’re starting with one club. Yours could be next.
We’re opening the doors to a small number of clubs each season. Register your interest and we’ll be in touch when places open.
