Case Study

TracBac

Grassroots football coaching & performance tracking platform

Overview

TracBac is a mobile-first Progressive Web App designed to help grassroots football coaches track player development, match events, and team performance in real time. It bridges the gap between informal notebook coaching and professional-grade analysis tools that are typically inaccessible at grassroots level.

Problem / Opportunity

Grassroots coaches lack lightweight tools to track player progress over a season, log match events quickly during games, and share meaningful insights with parents and players. Most existing tools are either too complex, desktop-only, or built for elite clubs.

Solution

TracBac provides a fast, offline-capable PWA that allows coaches to log match events live, rate players, analyse combinations, and generate post-match summaries—without disrupting matchday focus.

Key Features

Live match event logging (goals, assists, contributions)
Player ratings and seasonal performance tracking
