Team Centre
Your whole week, on one page.
The fixture, the plan for it, the team sheet, the result and the training round it. Usually a league site, a notebook, a group chat and a spreadsheet. Here each one hands its work to the next.
- Fixtures that keep themselves Paste your league's calendar link. When a kick-off moves, the match moves with it.
- Match prep that counts Your shape against theirs, line by line, and the prep board built in one press.
- Matchday, sorted See who is out, pick your eleven, bench and captain, and the board gets their names.
- One result, the whole season The result opens filled in from your team sheet. Every player's minutes, goals and cards add themselves up.
- A report for the group chat The match as a picture or as text, with first names or initials for a parents' group.
- A training week round the match Every session gets its job from the next match, with a register for who came and how hard it was.
Fixtures, match prep, opponent notes and your calendar feed on every plan, the free one too. Matchday, the squad's season and the season plan on Pro.

Fair questions.
What it costs, what it needs, and what happens to the boards you build.
All questions What is Total Football Studio?
Total Football Studio is a football tactics board tool that hands you the exact canvas our videos are drawn on. Pick a pitch, pick one of twenty-five formations and eleven counters stand in it. Move them to where the ball takes them, and the built-in animation engine turns the movement between the two positions into film.
See the Studio What is a system?
A system is one board and everything on it: the pitch, the shape, every phase you posed and the words you wrote on each one. It is the thing you open, edit, send and keep. Every breakdown in the library is a system, and so is each of the ones you can open here without an account.
Read the library What is a sequence, and how is it different from a system?
A sequence is a slice of a system: a run of phases lifted out of one board with the identities stripped off, so there are no names, no photos and nobody in particular left in it. What remains is the movement. Save it once to your account and you can drop it onto any other board, where it runs on whoever is standing there. A system is a board you keep. A sequence is a movement you keep, and it does not mind which board it lands on.
What is the Team Centre?
The Team Centre is the page for your team's week, under Your team in the portal. On every plan: keep your fixtures or import them from your league's calendar link, see them in your own calendar app, count both shapes line against line, keep notes on each opponent, and build the match prep board in one tap. On Amateur and Pro: mark the moments of a whole match from its video, gather them in a Video tab and play them as playlists. On Pro: mark who is injured or suspended, pick your team sheet, turn the result into a match report, see the season in numbers, rate players with monthly reviews, and plan every training week round your matches with a register.
See Team Centre features Can my fixtures and training days show in Google or Apple Calendar?
Yes. On Fixtures in the Team Centre, make a private calendar link and subscribe to it in Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook. It carries every match (kick-off, venue, competition, and the score once you add it) and every training day of your season plan with its job, and calendars refresh it every few hours. It never carries a player: no names, no team sheets, no availability and no notes. Turn it off or make a new link at any time. It is on every plan.
Read the Team Centre guide Can I send a match report to the parents' group?
Yes, on Pro. Open a result in the Team Centre and make a match report: the score, the starting eleven, the bench, goals, assists and cards, and a few words of your own. Save it as a picture, copy it as text or share it, with full names, first names or initials, so a parents' group never needs the whole squad list. Your few words are only on that report and are not saved.
