Create animated drills with keyframe animation, ball physics, and multi-player movement. Export as MP4 video and share with your team instantly.
Tactico's keyframe system lets you record every player movement, set realistic timing, and add ball physics — without any video editing software.
Place up to 22 players on a full-size pitch. Drag each one to their starting position, then capture that frame. Repeat for every movement in the drill.
Control how fast each player moves between keyframes. Use easing functions (ease-in, ease-out, linear) to make animations look natural and realistic.
Animate the ball independently from players. Add realistic bounce arcs, through-balls, crosses, and shots. Your drills show exactly how the ball moves.
Don't start from scratch. Browse a library of animated system drills organized by category, then customize them for your squad. Pair drills directly into your training session plans.
Passing patterns, finishing circuits, defensive shape, possession games, fitness exercises, and small-sided games — all organized for fast browsing. Find the right drill for your session objective in seconds.
Every system drill is a starting point. Edit player positions, change the number of players, adjust timing, add new keyframes, and save it as your own drill. Build a personal library over the season.
Drills are sized for any format: 5v5 (U7-U8), 7v7 (U9-U10), 9v9 (U11-U12), and 11v11. Scales automatically to the pitch size you choose. Also works for basketball, hockey, and volleyball.
Most drill tools only create static diagrams. Tactico gives you full keyframe animation, video export, and an entire coaching platform — all in one place.

Everything coaches ask about the soccer drill animator
Yes, Tactico's drill animator is free to use in your browser. Create animated drills with player movements and keyframes without creating an account. Pro features like MP4 export require a plan starting at $4.99/month.
Yes. Pro users can export animated drills as MP4 or WebM video files. The export captures all player movements, ball physics, and timing. Share the video via WhatsApp, email, or any messaging platform.
The drill animator is built for desktop and tablet — keyframe animation needs a precise pointer and a larger canvas. On a phone you can preview and share already-built drills, but creating drills is best on a bigger screen. Native iOS and Android apps are in development for full mobile drill creation.
Open Tactico and go to Drills. Click 'Create New Drill', position players on the pitch, then add keyframes by moving players to each new position and clicking 'Add Keyframe'. Set timing between frames, then preview and share your animated drill.

Yes. Tactico supports multiple sports including soccer/football, basketball, hockey, and volleyball. Switch between pitch types in the drill builder. The keyframe animation system works identically across all sports.
