PlaybookSoccer

PlaybookSoccer gives soccer coaches the ability to create animated play diagrams and manage their virtual playbooks directly on the iPad. Designed to simplify the visualization of plays through animation, PlaybookSoccer breaks soccer plays down into individual steps and puts them back together to bring a coach’s vision to life for their players.

With PlaybookSoccer, soccer coaches can also easily manage and organize their plays as a virtual playbook. Each play can have any number of custom tags that soccer coaches can use to quickly access during game time.

Coaches can also display their plays onto a projector or TV to walk-through plays during a team strategy session (requires the Apple VGA Dock Adapter). And, if players or other coaches want to study the plays on their own, plays can be shared with other iPhone and iPad users of the app (iTunes File Sharing) or emailed as a PDF for printing out hard copies.

PlaybookSoccer is optimized for the iPad. For an iPhone/iPod Touch optimized version, check out PlaybookSoccer-To Go.

Praise for PlaybookSoccer

“I have used Soccer Blueprint, Tactfoot and currently use Tact-X, but your Soccer Playbook is the easiest to use and since I take my iPad with me everywhere (I don’t even bother taking my MacBook Pro anymore) your program is far superior. ” – Coach Bartolazo, U12 Division 2 accredited coach at Hornsby RSL, Sydney Australia, via email.
