Session planner for football coaches
Players who look forward to training are the ones who improve.
Give them a good session, every time.
Most coaches have thought it: “I could have done that better.” When you haven't had time to prepare properly, the players notice. CanchaCoach gives you complete, age-appropriate sessions in minutes, built systematically, with a thread running from session to session across the season, and anchored in your club's coaching plan when you have one. Build it with a few clicks, or just tell us what you want.
Why
You're the coach these players need. CanchaCoach handles the planning.
Whether you volunteered or you work for the club, you want to give the players quality and you have too little time. CanchaCoach is the tool that closes that gap.
Exercises the players know, saved and ready
Variety is fine, but sessions get better when the players already know most of the exercises: less explaining, more ball. Save the sessions that worked and use them again. What went well last time is already in their legs.
Every session has one clear focus
What's the point of today: carrying, passing or finishing? With one clear focus the exercises hang together, and the players feel they have mastered something new before they leave.
Match day ready: a warm-up in one tap
Before the match you get a warm-up that suits the squad and the day, so the players are warm, switched on and ready when the referee starts the game.
How it works
Three steps and the session is ready
Tell us what you want
Age, numbers, time, surface and focus in a few clicks. Or write it in your own words, like “finishing in front of goal, 14 players, 75 min”, and we shape the rest.
Get a complete session, and swap what doesn't fit
Warm-up, main part and cool-down, split across the minutes, with organisation and coaching points. One part wrong? Swap that part, not the lot. You're still in charge.
Take it to the pitch
Print it, keep it on your phone, or share the link with the rest of the coaching staff. They open it without an account. You can share it with the players too, so the squad turns up better prepared.

Paying for this out of your own pocket? You don't have to. Plenty of coaches get the club or the team fund to cover Coach or Pro, so ask your team manager. If the whole coaching staff is coming on board, Club is priced per team. Everyone then works from the club's own coaching plan, with the same tool and the same exercise bank, so a session for the 2013s looks the same whoever is running it.
€149 per team per year, down to €85 for larger clubs. Free trial, and we agree the rest together.
Prices apply at launch and are shown in euros for reference. Card payment opens once Stripe is in place. Coaches who join before then keep their access in the meantime.
FAQ
Questions we get
Do you store anything about the players?
No. CanchaCoach processes no personal data about players: no names, no profiles, nothing about children. The only personal data we hold is the coach's own account (email address). If you write notes about the squad, they should be about the squad and not about individuals, and we'll flag it if something that looks like a name has slipped in. Data sits with a provider in the EU.
Are the sessions actually good, or is it just random exercises?
Sessions are built from an exercise bank we have reviewed and classified ourselves on age, focus, number of players and equipment, not scraped off the web. The model puts together a whole with progression and sensible loading for the age group, and explains the coaching points. You can override everything, and swap individual parts you don't like without generating again.
Do the sessions hang together over time?
Yes. On Pro you anchor your sessions in a season plan, so each week builds on the last and the squad develops systematically through the season.
Does it work for adult teams?
Yes. Pick “Senior” as the age group and the session is built for adult players: full loading, 90 effective minutes, plenty of play and little queuing. The range is grassroots adult football, from veterans and works teams to first teams in the lower divisions. Semi-professional and professional is not what we build for.
Do I need to be an experienced coach?
No. That is precisely why the product exists. You need to know the age group, how long you have the pitch and roughly what you want to work on. The session explains the rest itself.
What if the club has its own coaching plan?
Then that is what should govern. On Club we load the club's coaching plan, so the sessions coaches get are anchored in their own approach rather than a generic template. Individual coaches on Pro can upload their own.
What languages does it work in?
English, Norwegian and Spanish, in the football language coaches actually use rather than a literal translation. The interface follows you, and the session content follows your club's default.
Is there an app?
CanchaCoach runs in the browser on phone, tablet and computer, and you can add it to your home screen and take the session out onto the pitch.
Can everyone speak their session, like you show on the front page?
“Speak your session” sits on Pro. On Coach you get 3 free attempts, enough to find the rhythm, because speech recognition can occasionally misread you. At any level you can build the session step by step instead; you answer the same things, just in a form. The free account builds by hand, without generated sessions.
How do I pay?
Card payment is coming with Stripe. You can try it free for as long as you like, and you never pay without choosing to.
