Coaching tool · Free
Formation builder.
Set out a shape in seconds. Pick football or futsal, choose your format, drop in a preset — then drag players wherever you actually want them, sketch a couple of tactics arrows, and export or print it for the touchline.
Drag any player to reposition. Double-click a player to rename them. Click "Draw arrows" then drag on the pitch to sketch a run or pass.
How does this work?
Choose football or futsal, then a format — for football that's 11v11, 9v9, 7v7 or 5v5, matching the small-sided formats used across grassroots age groups; for futsal it's always 5-a-side (4 outfield + goalkeeper). Pick a preset shape and the tool lays your players out automatically; drag anyone from there to show exactly what you want — a winger tucking in, a full-back overlapping, a pivot dropping deep.
Arrows let you sketch a run, a pass, or a pressing trigger straight onto the pitch — useful for explaining a rotation or a specific movement pattern before training. Export as image saves a PNG you can drop into a WhatsApp group or a session plan; Save setup keeps it in your browser only, so you can come back to a formation without redoing it. Nothing you build here is sent anywhere — it all stays on your device.
Pair this with the session builder to plan the training that puts a shape into practice, or the squad balance checker to work out who plays where. Built by an FA Level 2 coach. More coaching scenarios · All articles
