Manage your squad, run live matches with real-time controls, assign training drills, track every player's development and achievements, and keep parents in the loop — all from one beautifully simple app.
From pre-season squad setup to post-match ratings, training drills and achievements, Ultimate Coach puts the full toolkit in your pocket so you can focus on developing players, not paperwork.
Create teams with age group, gender classification and FA Full Time league linking. Assign squad numbers, name a captain, manage multiple seasons, add venues and customise team kits.
Schedule matches, training and events. Attach venues and meet-up times, collect parent availability with one tap, and nudge pending parents with a single reminder.
Run the game from your phone. Real-time score and timer, period management, goal recording with scorer and assist, live substitutions and an interactive pitch — all in one screen.
Drag-and-drop players onto an interactive pitch to plan your formation. Manage substitutes on the bench and make live swaps during the game.
Over 1,700 hand-picked drills, filterable by skill, category and age. Assign drills to a player or the whole squad, and rate them so the best sessions rise to the top.
Players earn points and level up across dozens of achievements. Set custom challenges and reward drill completion to keep the whole squad motivated all season.
Rate each player 1–10 after the final whistle and award Player of the Match. Ratings feed directly into each player's season statistics and development history.
Auto-synced league standings from FA Full Time, recent form as a match streak, and full results history — so you always know where the team stands.
Invite assistant coaches and helpers with separate invite codes. Full coaches get lineup and tactical access; helpers manage the score and timer. Ownership can be transferred any time.
Never lose track of what's happening on the pitch. Ultimate Coach's live match screen gives you everything a modern coach needs from kick-off to full time.
Plan exactly how your team lines up on an interactive pitch, then adjust on the fly as the game unfolds.
Schedule every fixture and event, collect parent availability in advance, and jump straight into the live match when kick-off arrives.
Every player in one clear list — grouped by position, with squad numbers and captaincy front and centre.
A huge, curated library of training videos that players can practise with and coaches can assign — with community ratings so the best drills rise to the top.
Ultimate Coach turns match-day data into a long-term development record that coaches can build on and players and parents can be proud of.
Goals, assists, appearances, clean sheets, win rate, ratings and Player of the Match — tracked per season and archived for previous years.
Coaches rate key attributes per player, visualised as a radar chart so strengths and areas to work on are clear at a glance.
Award POTM after every game. Awards are recorded in the player's profile and shown to parents, creating lasting recognition.
Every appearance gets a coach rating from 1–10, averaged across the season and shown prominently in the player's stats.
No photo? No problem. Create a custom avatar with character selection and personalised colours — a unique identity for every player.
Previous seasons are preserved and browsable, so you can look back at how a player has developed from their first kick to their best season.
A heavy dose of game mechanics keeps players improving on their own time — not just at training. Ultimate Coach turns goals, assists, completed drills and everyday effort into points, levels and unlockable achievements, so there's always a reason to do more.
Parents get their own personalised view — track your child's performance, watch live scores during matches, see the drills their coach has set, and never miss a fixture or stat.
Sign up as a Coach to manage your team end-to-end, or as a Parent to follow your child's progress. Coaches can also see a parent view for their own children.
