Millions of grassroots youth sports coaches struggle with ad-hoc training sessions every week due to a complete lack of structured, age-appropriate drills and centralized operational tools.

Fieldwork delivers a unified training execution and curriculum system designed specifically for youth sports directors and volunteer coaches. By digitizing tactical drill blueprints, tracking squad attendance, and automating session timing on pitch-side mobile devices, clubs elevate player development across every age group. Club directors gain real-time visibility into coaching quality, ensuring compliance with governing body methodologies while saving coaches over 4 hours of prep time weekly.

Fieldwork is building the global operating system that transforms grassroots youth athletics from fragmented volunteer efforts into professionalized talent pipelines.

Problem
  • When I manage volunteer coaches for a youth club, I want to deliver consistent skill development, but coaches rely on unvetted internet drills and disorganized scribbles.
  • Why Now: Youth sports governing bodies are enforcing strict age-specific skill metrics while clubs face record volunteer coach turnover.
  • When I run pitch-side sessions on rainy nights, I want seamless step-by-step practice timers, but paper sheets get ruined and mobile phones lose connectivity.
  • When I present season progress to paying parents, I want data-backed player development reports, but coaches keep zero physical or digital tracking records.
  • Existing Alternatives: Disorganized WhatsApp groups, laminated paper drill cards, generic sports messaging apps, and improvised mental planning.
Solution
  • High-Level Concept: Notion meets Tactical Board for youth sports academies.
  • Interactive pitch-side mobile player that guides coaches through timed drill phases, player rotations, and tactical focus points completely offline.
  • Centralized Director of Coaching portal to push standardized multi-week development curricula across 50+ age-group teams instantly.
  • Automated parent progress digest that translates session completion metrics into engaging player growth updates.
Distribution
  • Early Adopters: Directors of Coaching (DOCs) at suburban grassroots football and soccer clubs managing 10+ junior teams.
  • Direct outreach and strategic partnerships with regional youth sports governing body coaching clinics and licensing courses.
  • Co-marketing integrations with regional youth league administrative platforms like Demosphere and GotSport.
Pricing
  • Value Ladder: Free Tier ($0/month for single coach up to 3 session plans)
  • Pro Coach ($15/month for unlimited drills and offline mode)
  • Club License ($150/month for up to 25 coaches with DOC management dashboard).
  • One Metric That Matters [OMTM]: Active Weekly Executed Sessions (sessions completed using the pitch-side mobile player).
  • Market Sizing: 40k youth soccer clubs in North America and Western Europe x $1.8k annual club subscription = $72M SAM; targeting 1% in Year 1 = $720k ARR.
Scale Costs
  • High-definition pitch animation rendering engine and video drill asset distribution pipelines.
  • Off-grid synchronization architecture and offline mobile data storage syncing across thousands of concurrent pitch-side devices.
