How it works
Your staff know what good football looks like. The hard part is getting it to every player, every week.
The game model lives in a PowerPoint. IDPs sit in a spreadsheet and go stale between meetings. New signings pick things up from bits of conversation and video sessions. And when the season gets busy, individual work is the first thing to go.
Today · six places, nobody’s job
With WeaselsFC · one system, one job
Your staff put the football in
Game model principles, each player’s IDP focus, and the film moments that show them — in your words.
Each player gets it on her phone as learning
Her focus, her reps from your film, your principles with your clips — a few minutes a day.
What she does comes back to your staff
Done or not, right or not, and how fast — recorded against her IDP, ready for her next review.
The Player Development Manager
It runs the system. Your staff run the football.
You write the job description: who it reports to, what it’s responsible for, what it can do on its own and what it must ask about. Then it does that job every day, not just when someone remembers to open the tool.
What it does
- Delivers. Puts each player’s focus, reps and game-model clips on her phone, on schedule, and reminds her.
- Keeps records current. IDPs, review dates, what’s been assigned, done, and answered — no spreadsheet to update.
- Turns film into work. When your analyst marks a moment and your coach approves the read, it becomes a rep that night.
- Prepares reviews. Clips, answers, results and last time’s notes, laid out before the coach sits down with the player.
- Reports back. A Monday note to staff: what happened, what’s due, what’s waiting on a decision.
- Asks first. Anything that needs a coach’s judgment goes to a coach — and waits.
What it doesn’t
- It doesn’t coach. It talks to players about what’s assigned, what’s due and what’s ready — in your words. The football comes from your staff.
- It doesn’t set a player’s plan. It can lay out the evidence and the options. A coach chooses.
- It doesn’t change your football. Your game model is the source of truth. It carries it; it doesn’t edit it.
- It doesn’t leave your club. Your game model, player data and film are private to your organisation.
Not another dashboard to keep up with. A colleague who does the admin.
New signings and transfers
The first 90 days shouldn’t be left to chance.
The game model you recruited her with becomes the plan your staff use to help her settle — and it runs from day one, on her phone.
Where her old role and yours differ
Her last club
What she recognised, decided and did there
Your club
What your game model now asks her to see and do
Prepared from her match history and your game model. Your staff edit it before she sees it.
Her first 30 days
What’s different
Her new responsibilities, the pressing cues, and what you expect in transition.
Her first plan
The two or three things your staff decide matter most for your football.
Reps on her phone
Moments from her old club and yours: pause, predict, see what happens.
Notes for staff
What she’s done, how she’s answering, and when the coach conversations are due.
Player development
Learning is the residue of thinking.
Turn your match film into Pause & Predict clips that train players to read the game: watch the moment, pause, call what happens next — and find out.
Try one yourself. Press play, then call the next action.
One rep free · three more with an email · no app, no signup before the first decision
See it coming
You can only act on a picture you recognise. Reps build that picture from your own match film, so the next play looks familiar before it happens.
Every rep is a decision
She commits to a call, sees what happened, then works through why the best read wins and what each option gives away — in your coach’s words.
Reps without the load
The same decisions the pitch asks for, at a volume legs can’t take. The read becomes familiar before match speed compresses it.
The pause is where the thinking happens.
Closing the loop
From your film to her phone — and back to your staff.
Coach and analyst
Your film becomes the lessons.
Mark the moment. Ask what happens next. Write what she should be looking for — see, read, adapt, exploit. Your coach approves it, and the Player Development Manager has it on her phone that night.
Player to staff
Know if she’s reading the game better — not just running more.
Every call she makes, and how quickly, is recorded against her IDP. Before each review, the evidence is laid out for the coach — the coach decides what it means and what comes next.
Before Thursday’s review
Ana · No. 7

Ready for you: her clips, her answers, your notes from last time, and the IDP form for the next objective.
Animal XI · learn the game by playing it
Players can start with a game.
Pick a team of animals, set the tactics, play the match. Players learn styles, roles and strengths by making decisions and seeing what happens next — and your staff can turn the next opponent, or your own game model, into a rehearsal. On iOS and Android.
Every principle in your game model becomes a decision a player can recognise, practise, explain — and eventually make at match speed.
The women’s game
Built from the women’s game. Not borrowed from the men’s.
Before it learns your club, WeaselsFC already knows the women’s game: 20 years of individual player statistics from 18 leading women’s leagues and 10 top NCAA Division I programs.
A benchmark isn’t a plan. The system lays out what similar players show, what your football needs, and how this player sees and decides — so your staff can pick the next thing worth working on with the evidence in front of them.
Laid out for the coach
A system, not a chat window
A chatbot answers questions. A system of record runs the work.
