Drag and drop formations in your browser. Works on mobile - use at halftime. Share tactics via WhatsApp link. Supports 7v7, 9v9, and 11v11 youth soccer formats.
Research shows 70% of communication is non-verbal. Your players need to SEE the tactics, not just hear them.
Players forget positions by matchday
You explain the formation Tuesday. By Saturday, half the team forgot. Send them a visual tactic link - they can review it 10 times before kickoff.
Training sessions that feel too short
Studies show players DON'T learn by listening to lectures - they tune out. Send animated tactics before training. Players arrive already knowing the drill.
Only 3% of corners result in goals
Research shows teams with dedicated set-piece routines score more. Design corner kicks and free kicks where every player knows exactly where to stand and run.
Halftime explanations that don't stick
Drawing on a whiteboard while 15 players crowd around? Use Tactico on your phone - show the exact adjustment. Players see it clearly on the screen.
Mixed ability levels in the same squad
Visual tactics help struggling players catch up. They can pause, rewind, and rewatch the animated play until they understand it.
Juggling work, family, and the team
Surveys show volunteer coaches feel overwhelmed. Tactico saves prep time - create a tactic once, share it forever. Build a library of plays over the season.
From defensive 5-3-2 to attacking 4-3-3. One click to load, then drag players to customize. Includes youth formats: 5v5, 7v7, 9v9, 11v11.
Dominant in modern football. Three forwards stretch defenses wide. Variants: 4-3-3 holding, 4-3-3 flat, 4-3-3 false 9. Used by Liverpool, Barcelona, Manchester City.
The formation every player understands. Two banks of four, two strikers. Clear defensive shape. Perfect for youth teams learning positional discipline.
Double pivot provides defensive security. #10 plays between the lines. One striker pins centre-backs. The default formation of modern defensive football.

From grassroots to academy level
"I send tactics to our WhatsApp group Sunday night. Monday training starts immediately - no 15-minute explanation. The players already know what we're doing."
"Our corner kick conversion improved massively. Before, players just ran to vague areas. Now everyone has a specific position and run. Three goals from corners this month."
"Finally something that works on my phone at halftime. I can show the back four exactly how I want them to shift. Worth every penny of the Pro upgrade."
