Tactye Not just a tactics board. The whole week a coach runs.
Coaching software arrived in pieces: one app draws the play, another calls the roll, a third runs the club. What changes when all of it is one system.
Coaching software arrived in pieces. One app draws the play, another calls the roll, a third runs the club. Tactye is a single coaching platform where the board, the session plan, the calendar and the squad are one system — the one your week actually fits inside.

What Tactye is
A coaching platform where the tactical board, the practice plan, the calendar and the squad are one system.
You draw the play, build the session around it, publish it to the team as an event, take attendance, name the line-up from it and keep the lot in a tactical book you can reuse and share with your staff. Four sports, correct surfaces, on the tablet you already carry to training.
Tactical board
Preformations for football, basketball, ice hockey and floorball. Automatic movement, ball-carry and passing lines; auto-created phases; multi-select, mirroring, half or full surface, both teams at once — animated instantly, with nothing to export.
Practice planner
Phase-based sessions with drill durations, reusable templates, and a board attached to any drill — the whole session in one place.
Events & calendar
Practices, games, meetings, camps, tournaments and club work days. Calendar or list view, duplication, cancellation, RSVP and attendance.
Line-ups & rosters
Named, positioned player markers. Multiple rosters to compare, rosters built from who actually attended, line-ups created inside the event itself.
Tactical book
The season's boards, drills and sessions organised by team, theme and status — shared across the coaching staff, not lost with the season.
Club layer
Teams, staff and players under one organisation, with role-based access, per-team permissions, club-wide drill sharing and printable PDFs.
One week, one tool
The session you planned is the session you coach — and the line-up you name.
Nothing gets retyped between tools, because there are no other tools in the chain.
Sunday
PlanningBuild the session in phases
Pull drills from your tactical book, set durations, and attach a tactical board to any drill. Save the shape as a template and the next one takes minutes.
Monday
PublishSend it to the squad
The session goes out as an event — practice, game, meeting, camp, tournament or club work day. Players RSVP. You know who's coming before you leave the house.
Tuesday 18:30
On the pitchCoach off the board
Animated phases play back at the speed you need. Movement, movement with the ball and passing lines draw themselves. Multi-select, mirrored players, half or full surface, both teams on one board.
Saturday
Game dayName the line-up inside the game
Build it from the players who actually turned up, with starting, special-teams and custom formations — then open the board on that exact line-up. Print it if the bench wants paper.
After
It keepsThe season stops evaporating
Session, board and line-up land in your tactical book, sorted by team, theme and status — reusable next season and shareable across the coaching staff, not stranded on one coach's tablet.
Where the category sits
Team apps organise people. Club platforms run the organisation. We build for the coach.
Two of these categories barely touch tactics at all. The third has a drawing tool, but it lives in the exercise library. Ours is a match tactics board that the line-up opens straight into.

The drawing-tool market is built sport by sport. Coach a football side in autumn and a floorball side in spring and you buy twice, learn twice, and keep your season in two places.
Deliberately out of scope
We don't run your club's money, and we're not a video suite.
Membership fees, fundraising and the ledger belong where your treasurer already keeps them. Match video belongs with the analysts. Tactye sits alongside both rather than on top of them — which is exactly why it stays a tool a coach can pick up alone.
The honest comparison
A tactics app can't tell you who's coming. A team app can't tell you what you're running when they get there. Coaches bridge that gap by hand, every week, in a notebook and three chat threads.
Full club platforms close more of that gap — and if you need registrations, payments and video in one contract, buy one. What they don't have is a tactics board: their drawing tool builds exercises for the training library. Tactye's board is the tactics surface, and the line-up opens into it. That connection is the thing nobody else has.
Free during open beta.
Bring one team on this season and see whether the week gets shorter. Full pricing lands at the autumn launch.

Comparison reflects the publicly stated scope and help documentation of leading products in each category as of August 2026, grouped by category rather than as a feature-for-feature audit; competitors' offerings change. Some club platforms do offer sport-specific drawing and step-based animation inside their training libraries; the distinction drawn here is scope, not existence. AI assistant coach is in development and not part of the current beta.
