    Hi,

    I was wondering if there is a spot in the forum where I can share some of the apps I have made. If I have posted in the wrong section I apologize. Please let me know where this would go in

    They are 100% free , private and its not an ad. I have shared it with a bunch of coaches and highschools, and its been pretty helpful. I dont get any $$ from these.
    The apps are on par with or better than the paid stuff out there. My goal was/is to have free apps for the community where shelling out $$ could be an issue.


    # Free Coaching Tools for Community Soccer Programs
    ### Touchline Studio · Soccer Fitness Tracker · Tryout Assistant

    **Built by a coach. Given to the community. Free.**

    ## Why These Apps Exist

    Professional coaching tools cost money that community programs don't have. The gap between what a funded academy can do and what a volunteer coach running Saturday morning sessions in an underserved neighborhood can do is enormous — not because of talent or passion, but because of resources.

    These apps close that gap. Not by offering a watered-down version of professional tools. By exceeding them. Built to help myself as a coach, then given to the community because the community deserves it. **These are the levellers.**

    ## Touchline Studio
    **The complete coaching companion**
    [App Store](https://apps.apple.com/app/touchline-studio/id6757970508) · [Website](https://umangdesai.com/touchlinestudio-pages/)

    Touchline Studio manages the full coaching workflow — from planning sessions to tracking every player's development across the season.

    | Feature | What It Does |
    |---|---|
    | **Session Planning + Execution** | Drag-and-drop training timelines with durations and coaching points. Run live with a built-in stopwatch, log per-player notes in the moment, keep a full timing history |
    | **Drill Library + AI Creation** | Tagged, searchable drill library with animated coach-board diagrams. Or describe a drill in plain language — AI creates it with setup, constraints, coaching points, examples, and adaptation notes |
    | **Player Development Trees** | Season-scoped per-player development plans structured as a tree: Outcomes → Capacities → Habits → Actions → Evidence. Link sessions to nodes. AI-guided walkthrough to build the first tree. Full history on every player profile |
    | **Player Evaluations** | Rate players across Technical, Tactical, Physical, and Mental on US Soccer / England FA templates (or custom). RAG scores (Needs Work / Developing / Strong), season snapshots, and a progress dashboard showing who is improving and who needs attention |
    | **Lineup Management + Tactical Annotations** | Build season lineups across all formations (11v11, 9v9, 7v7). Drag players to exact positions. Match prep lineups — experiment with formations before game day, then promote to official. Draw arrows, zones, free runs, opponent markers, and text labels directly on the pitch |
    | **Roster Management** | CSV/Excel import with review step. Jersey numbers, profiles, session attendance, full development history per player |
    | **Schedule + Match Management** | Full season calendar. Live match flow with lineups, substitutions, and in-match notes |
    | **Apple Watch** | Sessions sync to Watch. Run a session from your wrist — timer, current drill, key details — without touching your phone |
    | **iCloud Sync** | Everything offline-capable and synced automatically. Sessions, drills, evaluations, development trees, lineups, annotations — all private to you |

    *For volunteer coaches, school programs, community clubs, and NGOs — the full operational toolkit of a professional club. Free.*

    ## Soccer Fitness Tracker
    **Professional performance data. No expensive hardware required.**
    [App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/soccer-fitness-tracker/id6756504677) · [Website](https://umangdesai.com/soccer-fitness-tracker-site/)

    GPS vests used by professional clubs cost hundreds of dollars per player. Apple Watch is a sophisticated sensor platform that millions already own. Soccer Fitness Tracker unlocks it.

    | Feature | What It Does |
    |---|---|
    | **Movement Analysis and Heatmaps** | Visual map of every run and position change during a match or session — spot patterns, gaps, and overloads |
    | **Sprint and Distance Tracking** | Auto-detects sprints by intensity zone, total distance covered, peak speed |
    | **Heart Rate Zones** | Time in each HR zone (aerobic base, threshold, anaerobic) for every player |
    | **Fatigue & Recovery Monitoring** | Track session loads over time to spot accumulated fatigue before it becomes injury |
    | **Session History** | Full performance log across the season — compare players, track fitness trends |

    *Requires iPhone + Apple Watch. Works for matches and training sessions.*

    ## Tryout Assistant
    **No player gets missed.**
    [App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tryout-assistant/id6756588745) · [Website](https://umangdesai.com/tryoutsassistant-pages/)

    Coaches at tryouts spend more time watching clipboards than watching players. Tryout Assistant fixes that with voice.

    | Feature | What It Does |
    |---|---|
    | **Voice-Powered Notes** | Say "Number 7 — great first touch, needs work on positioning." Instant transcription, filed automatically |
    | **Roster Import** | Upload players in advance; jersey numbers match to names automatically |
    | **Team Building** | Sort players into squads or shortlists after evaluations; compare notes side by side |
    | **Multi-Coach** | Assistant coaches contribute their own evaluations to the same session |
    | **Offline-First** | Works with no internet. Syncs when back in range |
    | **Export** | Full evaluation reports as PDF or spreadsheet |
