The board
A real tactics board
Magnets for both teams, keepers and every bit of kit you own. Draw runs, passes and zones straight onto the pitch, and set up a full 11v11 from your own squad list.
- Drag, rotate and recolour magnets and equipment
- Freehand, arrow and shape drawing tools
- Pinch-zoom around any part of the pitch
Sessions
Whole sessions, not one drill
A session is pages — one per phase of training, each with its own board, duration, setup notes and coaching points. Organised in folders with tags and search, synced across your devices.
- Duration, setup and coaching points per page
- Folders, tags and instant search
- Everything synced to your account
Teams
Your squad, on the board
Keep a roster per team — numbers, names, positions. Magnets carry your players' numbers or initials, and the 11v11 picker builds a starting shape straight from the squad list.
- Multiple named teams per account
- Numbers, initials or names on every magnet
- 11v11 setup grouped by position
Live sharing
Share it, live
Send a private link as view-only, contribute, or full edit. Everyone with permission watches the same board — a magnet moved on one screen moves on all of them, in real time.
- Three permission levels per link
- Edits appear on every screen in real time
- Revoke a link — or all of them — any time
Who it's for
Made for the people doing the work
Coaches
Plan the whole week from your phone at the kitchen table, then run the session from the same board at the ground. No printouts, no whiteboard markers dying mid-talk.
Staff rooms
Share the session with your assistants before training. They see your changes live, add their own drills with a contribute link, and everyone walks out with the same plan.
Mentors & educators
Review a candidate's session designs page by page, or talk through a plan together on a live board from opposite ends of the country.
The family
Design it here. See how you coached it there.
Coach Pen is the design half of a pair. Its sister app, Coach Cam, records your session with the phones in your pocket and turns it into a tagged, shareable picture of your coaching. Plan in Pen, deliver it, and reflect in Cam — one loop.
