FAQ

What coaches usually ask

Is there a free soccer coach app?

Yes. The free plan includes the live match, calendar, attendance, minutes and roster, with no time limit. The Season Pass (per team, annual or monthly) adds season stats, the tactics board in every drill, AI and the full drill library.

Is there an app to track every player’s minutes in 7v7?

Yes. Sidebench does it with the live match: you set the starting lineup, start the clock and log each substitution in two taps. The app adds up every player’s minutes by half and warns you who hasn’t met the minimum playing time.

Does it work for 7v7, 8v8 and 11v11?

Yes. When you create the team you pick the format and the usual match formats for it (for example 2 × 25 or 4 × 12 in 7v7). The board draws the matching field.

Does it work offline at the field?

Yes. Everything is saved on your phone and syncs with the rest of your coaching staff when coverage returns.

Can several coaches use the same team?

Yes. You invite the assistant coach or the team manager with a code and everyone sees the same team. The free plan allows two coaches; the Season Pass, as many as you need.

What drills does it include?

A library of 350+ drills for every age group, from U6 to adult teams, each with its board, sorted by skill (dribbling, passing and receiving, 1v1 moves, shooting, defending, tactics, fitness, goalkeeping, set pieces, heading and transitions). AI also writes new drills from the age group, the skills and the time you have.

Does it work as an online tactics board on a computer?

Yes. The web version opens in any browser with the same account, and you draw with the mouse just like with your finger.

Which devices is it available on?

On Android (Google Play), iPhone (App Store) and in any browser, with the same account and the same data.
