Mobile applications for visualizing tactical schemes in football

Now there are applications for everything, and for football, of course, there is also. No, we will not talk about football simulators or games, in this article we will pay attention to a useful utility: a mobile replacement of a tactical board, with which you can visualize tactical constructions and, for example, lay them out in the group or chat of the team.

Probably, it is worth immediately noting that similar applications will not replace a classic tactical board, which is still used by coaches, both professionals and amateurs.

As the practice of using the iPad “in the fields” showed, visually the schemes on it are read poorly already at a distance of one meter. And in the football team usually from 5 to 11 players standing in a semicircle around the coach, who need to convey something important. With this location, nothing is visible. If you add to this the possible glare of the sun, then a completely sad picture. In general, I stopped taking the iPad with myself after two games. But at the same time, it is still with the help of this program that I make small videos on tactics.

The principle of operation of such applications

Applications with the functionality of tactical boards are designed to outline tactical constructions in various sports. Sometimes a functional is built into the application at once for all game sports: football, American football, hockey, etc. Sometimes the application is sharpened for a certain sport (usually the same developer is just crushing the application for many different ones)

Fishets in any quantity are applied to the selected platform (their size can be changed), game attributes, after which the movements of the players and the ball in various game situations are indicated by the movements of the chips and the rendering of the shooter. You denote the beginning and end of the episode, and the result is a small video with visualization of the game situation.

This is what happens (for example Coach Note)

Tactical boards for iOS and Android

Here is a list of mobile applications with the functionality of tactical boards for two main operating systems. Of course, there are much more of them. We have chosen the most popular with a worthy rating. Please note that the cost of the application developers can change at any time, so you will find the most relevant data on the page of the application itself.
