A coach's week with Trac
Run your grassroots team without losing your weeknights.
Trac is the coaching app for volunteer coaches running one team, one league, one season at a time.
Monday
Set the week up
Open Trac, hit availability, send the request to every parent. They get a push notification or an email with two buttons: Yes or No.
By Tuesday morning, you've got the squad list for Saturday. No chasing, no scrolling back through three days of WhatsApp.
If a parent hasn't replied by Wednesday, Trac nudges them. Not you.
Tuesday and Thursday
Training that isn't just keepy-uppies
Build the session in the app. Warm-up, two drills, small-sided game, cool-down. Save it as a template you can run again in three weeks.
At the pitch, take attendance in two taps. Tap a player, tap present. Done with cold fingers, gloves on.
Over the season, you can see who's at every session and who's missing one in three. That's a different conversation to have, but at least you have the data.
Need a starter session? We've written four U9 plans you can run on a Tuesday night. U9 session plans you can run on a Tuesday.
Friday
Lock the lineup
Open the formation builder. Drag the squad into shape. 1-3-2 for U9, 4-3-3 for U14, whatever your team plays.
Two players drop out by Friday night. Move someone, save, post the new lineup to parents. Job done in two minutes.
Saturday or Sunday. Match day.
Tap to log goals, saves, tackles, outstanding moments. One-handed in the rain. No forms.
Tap a goal, a save, a moment
Goal, save, tackle, shot, corner, foul, sub, outstanding moment. Whatever you've got time for.
Subs that don't slow you down
Two taps to swap two players. Minutes-played tracks itself.
Photo or note if you want one
Snap a photo of the team talk. Add a quick note for the report.
Back pitch, no signal, no problem
Everything queues offline. Syncs when you're back in range.
Tested in real February weather. Tap targets sized for gloves.
Sunday evening
AI match report. One tap.
Open the fixture, tap Write report. The AI takes your events and writes a report that names every kid, reflects the actual score, and ends with the next fixture.
Read it. Edit it if you want to add the dressing-room moment the AI couldn't have known about. Hit publish.
Parents see it in their email by 7pm Sunday. League secretary sees it too. You're done.
Want to see what the output actually looks like? A real before-and-after match report.
The FA Full-Time bit
Your whole season, imported in three minutes
Find your team's fixtures on FA Full-Time. Copy the table. Paste it into Trac. Confirm. Your season is in.
It works out home and away, league and cup, and pitches automatically. No retyping kick-off times. No 38 separate fixture entries.
If your league isn't on FA Full-Time, you can paste a CSV instead.
See the FA Full-Time importer or read the step-by-step guide with screenshots.
What about parents
Parents tap. They don't type.
Parents get a tap-to-confirm availability request. They don't need to download an app. They don't need to create an account if they don't want to.
They see their kid's fixtures, the latest match report, and the next training session. Nothing else.
This is the bit that decides whether your roll-out works. How parents use Trac.
What Trac doesn't do
We're honest about the gaps
We don't handle club-wide finance. If you need to collect subs across six teams and reconcile against a bank account, Trac isn't the right tool for that yet.
We don't replace your league's match-card or referee submission. If the league wants a paper card, you still need to fill one in.
We're one team, one season. If you're running a club with ten teams and a website, look at Pitchero. If you only coach one team, Trac is built for you.
If you're weighing us up against the alternatives: vs TeamStats, vs Spond, vs Pitchero.
What coaches say after a full season
Real feedback from coaches who've run their year on Trac.
“First impressions, I already love it, just made my formation and put subs in. Really looking forward to this! Will be an absolute no brainer/game changer this for managers especially and the wider community of grass roots.”
Jordan Giles
Manager · East Riding Girls
“The management team log incidents during our games, from goals and assists to tackles and saves. This has been a game changer for us and it allows every boy to celebrate their achievements, no matter what their role.”
Luke
Coach · Kingswood United Arrows
“I only noticed all the analytics the other day. I can't believe the amount of insight you get just from tracking a few events in a game.”
Paul Duffield
Coach · Hessle Rangers
