Offerings by category
Training software for football coaches (Football coaching software)
Coach OS
Coach OS plans the entire periodized season, not just the next session. The foundation is a setup consisting of age group, skill level, training frequency, pitch, and equipment. This includes over 1.244 animated drills, five training models, PDF export for every session, a live mode on the pitch, and statistics for training, team, and player development. Available as an app, desktop version, and in the browser.
Software for player development (Player development software)
Player OS, Coach OS
Player OS is the app for players and parents: availabilities, tasks, and goals from the coach with feedback in four stages, a daily sleep and load check, RPE from U11 upwards, and development statistics. Evaluation covers four areas and seventeen attributes. Data belongs to players and their parents.
Software for drawing drills (Football drill design software)
Sketch
Sketch draws and animates training drills using football-specific symbols and displays the same drill with one click in 2D as Tactical View or in 3D as TV View. AI draws from a description or a photo of a book page. Export as PNG, PDF drill sheet, video, and 3D scene, including augmented reality via a QR-Code.
Software for club management (Football club management software)
Club OS
Club OS brings together all teams, coaches, and players of a club: key figures across all teams, ten roles each with individual permissions, shared drill database with approval levels, club calendar, pitch allocation with conflict detection, and exports as PDF, CSV, and Excel. For academies, health, athletics, scouting, and camp planner are included.

Pricing
Coach OS costs €19,90 per month and team, with no minimum contract period and cancelable at any time. New users test free for 30 days without a credit card; during this period, up to 30 players and up to five coaches or staff members per team are possible. For clubs, Club OS is offered individually — pricing depends on feature scope, add-ons, interfaces, and the number of teams and players.
Who develops the content
All content is created with licensed coaches and sports scientists: coaches with DFB, UEFA, and FIFA licenses develop drills, periodization, and methodology together with top European academies. This refers to the qualifications of the individuals involved; it does not imply certification of the software by these associations. The underlying research measures game and drill formats using video and sensor technology, tracking ball contacts, downtime, sprints, distances, shots on goal, start-stop movements, and passes.
What Coach OS does not offer
Coach OS does not record matches or analyze video footage — specialized providers exist for this, and match data can be imported via an interface. Coach OS is not a member management system: fee collection, dunning, and club accounting remain in the club's existing software. Coach OS also does not supply tracking hardware; GPS vests or heart rate monitors come from third-party manufacturers, whose data can be integrated via interfaces for academies.
