CoachPlan started as a personal frustration in Rotterdam and turned into a tool used by coaches who want to spend less time on admin and more time on the pitch.
Background
CoachPlan started with a simple frustration: preparing a training session should not mean spending an hour with spreadsheets and sticky notes. A youth coach in Rotterdam was building session plans the hard way — scribbled diagrams on paper, exercises saved in scattered folders, nothing easy to reuse or share.
He brought in a developer friend with the same love for football and a shared belief that the kind of structured coaching tools available to professional clubs should be accessible to everyone. Together, they built what they wanted for themselves: a focused tool for planning sessions, building a personal exercise library, and managing a squad — without the bloat of enterprise software.
CoachPlan launched out of Rotterdam with one goal: make coaching more organised, more data-driven, and more accessible — regardless of the level you coach at or the budget behind you.
What we believe
Good coaching tools shouldn't be reserved for well-funded clubs. CoachPlan is free to start and built to work for any coach at any level — from youth football to senior amateur.
A great session plan is only useful if your players understand it. We build tools that make it easy to structure, communicate, and refine your coaching ideas.
The best coaches are lifelong learners. We're building a platform where drills, tactics, and session ideas can be shared openly — so every coach can benefit from each other's experience.
