Soccer Coaching Workflow Tool

You coach.
We handle the workflow.

Capture the moments that matter during the match. Walk away with everything organised and ready — no scrubbing, no notebooks, no hunsting through 90 minutes of footage.

You already know what you want to coach. PlayTicks helps you get the evidence faster.

No algorithms. Just your instincts, organised

From final whistle to coach-ready — in minutes

A workflow built around how coaches already think. PlayTicks handles the organisation so you stay in control of the coaching and analysis.

During the game

1

Capture what matters

Press to tag or record a note when something happens — a goal, mistake, set piece, pressing trigger, anything you want to revisit. PlayTicks connects it to the footage automatically.

After the game

2

Go straight to it

Your moments are already connected to the footage. No scrubbing. No trying to remember what happened around the 67th minute.

When you coach

3

Use the film your way

Review it yourself, prepare for your next session, or share specific moments with players. The analysis is yours — we just made it easier to get there.

Built for the sideline, not the analytics desk

Use your phone or smartwatch on the sideline during the match. When the whistle goes, your moments are already organised.

Web app: Review timestamped moments immediately after the match

Our Philosophy

Your coaching. Your decisions. Our workflow.

We built PlayTicks because coaches already know how to coach. They don't need software telling them what to do.

PlayTicks does NOT

Tell you how to play or what tactics to use

Replace your tactical philosophy with algorithmic suggestions

Push generic data insights or prescriptive analysis

Keep you behind a desk parsing statistics

Decide what moments from your match were important

PlayTicks DOES

Capture the moments you decide matter, in real time

Organise your footage around your coaching instincts

Get you from final whistle to ready-to-coach in minutes

Deliver your analysis to players — not a spreadsheet

Adapt to your workflow, not the other way around

Not another analysis platform

Other platforms are built around analytics and tactical intelligence. PlayTicks is built around you.

Real-Time Tagging

Tap to capture moments as they happen — no rewinding, no scrubbing, no trying to remember later.

Every moment you tag becomes an instant clip connected to the footage. Ready the second the match ends.

Team Library

Every match, every clip, every note is organized in one searchable library for your whole staff.

Coach's Notes

Annotate and leave voice notes on clips before sharing. Your insight, attached to the evidence.

Player Sharing

Send specific short clips directly to players for self-review or 1:1s between sessions. Your message, not a stat sheet — delivered in seconds.

Set-Piece Review

Jump straight to corners, free kicks, and pressing triggers without hunting through the full match.

Built For Coaches Like You

Whether you coach 15 players or 150, one team or many — if you review film and want to spend less time finding the moments you already noticed, PlayTicks was built for you.

Coaches Who Review Film Weekly

  • Review film at least once a week
  • Want to spend less time scrubbing, more time coaching
  • Need clips ready before the next session
  • Work solo or with a small staff

Coaches Focused on Player Development

  • Want players to learn faster between sessions
  • Give individual feedback without extra admin
  • Build a clip library that grows with the season
  • Share footage directly with players, parents or scouts

Coaches Who Want Faster Feedback Loops

  • Need to cut time between match and debrief
  • Collaborate with staff on the same footage
  • Want to coach from their own analysis
  • Not interested in algorithmic recommendations

Built by people who know both sides

PlayTicks was built because coaching film review hasn't changed in decades — coaches still scrub through full-match recordings, jotting timestamps on notepads. We set out to fix that by building a tool that fits how coaches already think, tailored to their needs.

Our team combines hands-on experience in professional soccer leagues with product and engineering expertise from Microsoft and AWS. That combination means we understand the coaching workflow from the inside — and we know how to build reliable software around it.

Soccer Background

Experience inside professional soccer leagues. We know what coaches actually need.

Product Expertise

Product experience from Microsoft and AWS. We know how to build software that works.

Coaching Focus

Every feature is designed around match review and analysis - coaching notes

Coach-Led

Built in close collaboration with coaches at every level, from collegiate to Pro.

Frequently asked questions

PlayTicks is a soccer video annotation platform for coaches. It let's you tag key moments during a match in real time — goals, errors, set pieces, tactical plays — and then automatically organizes those tags into reviewable clips. After the game, you can review, annotate, and share clips directly with players or assistant coaches, replacing the manual process of scrubbing through full-match recordings.
PlayTicks is built for soccer coaches who review match film — from high school and club coaches working solo to collegiate staff or Pro teams with analysts. The workflow is designed around match review and coaching notes. If you review film at least once a week, PlayTicks is for you.
Yes — we're currently running a Beta Trial that gives you 3 full match sessions completely free, with no credit card required. After 3 sessions, you choose to subscribe or cancel. If you cancel, we'll ask for a brief 5-question survey or a 15-minute call to help us improve the product.
After your 3 free sessions, you'll be prompted to subscribe to keep your clip library and continue using PlayTicks. If you choose to cancel, all you need to do is let us know — and if you're willing, share 5 quick answers or hop on a 15-minute call. Your feedback directly shapes what we build next.
Currently, PlayTicks is focused exclusively on soccer. The workflow, tagging categories, and clip organization are all designed around match review for soccer coaches. We may expand to other sports in the future, but for now we're fully committed to getting soccer right first.
You'll need match footage — either recorded in advance or live on your device — and a PlayTicks account. No special hardware is required. You can tag from a laptop (not recommended), tablet, or mobile device during the match. We'll walk you through setup in your onboarding session.
Video editing software is built for post-production, not coaching workflows. PlayTicks is purpose-built for match review — tagging during the game means your clips are ready immediately after the final whistle, not after hours of editing. The tagging, organizing, and sharing workflow is all designed around how coaches actually prepare for training sessions.
