PlayerBuilder App
The development app behind PlayerBuilder
PlayerBuilder helps young footballers build between sessions through structured football work, visible progress, habit-building, and a development system they can actually understand.
Available now as a web app — open in any browser on your phone or tablet, save to your home screen. Native iOS & Android apps coming soon.
Substance first
Built on real football work
The app is built on structured work across key parts of the game and physical development. Players practise with purpose rather than just doing random extra touches.
Every drill is categorised, levelled, and tied to a development area — so players always know what they're working on and why.
What the app does
More than drills
Practise between sessions
Players keep developing on their own time — not just when a coach is present.
Work on specific areas
Each session is tied to a development category so players build where it matters most.
Build real consistency
Daily structure and streaks help players turn occasional effort into genuine habit.
Understand their progress
Players can see what they've done, what's improved, and what to focus on next.
Stay genuinely motivated
XP, levels, and leaderboards make consistent effort feel real and rewarding.
Connect to their programme
The app links players to their team or programme environment — not just solo work.
Development made visible
Progress players can actually see
Every player builds an FQ Player Card — a clear, personalised view of their development across the key areas of the game. It grows as they put in the work.
It's not about precise measurement. It's about giving players a real framework to understand their game, see where they're improving, and know what to work on next. Progress feels tangible when it's visible.
A clear player profile that updates with effort
Skill ratings across 7 development areas
Level progression tied to real work
Silver, Gold and higher card tiers to earn
Habit and momentum
Built to reward consistency
Players improve through repeated effort. The app uses XP, levels, streaks, and leaderboards to create momentum — not as empty gamification, but as real support for development behaviour.
When consistent effort is visible and rewarded, players come back. That's the point.
Structure and planning
A real development system
Sessions can be structured and planned. Players follow organised work — not just random drills — and coaches or programmes can connect training to a wider development journey.
The app supports routine, organisation, and progression. This is what separates it from a drills library — it's a system with a calendar, daily structure, and real coaching logic underneath.

Team assignments pushed from coaches
Streak tracking for daily follow-through
Connected development
Built for players, programmes and teams
The app works alongside PlayerBuilder programmes. Players join their programme group and develop individually while staying connected to the wider coaching environment.
This matters for academies, clubs, schools, and programme cohorts — where individual development and group culture can support each other.

For parents
Why parents like it
More structure between sessions
Your child isn't just kicking a ball around — they're following structured development work between coaching sessions.
A clearer sense of what they're working on
The app gives players specific areas to focus on. Parents can see what's being developed, not just "football practice".
Visible progress, not vague effort
The FQ Player Card and XP system mean there's something tangible to point to — growth is visible, not assumed.
Motivation without constant nagging
Streaks, levels, and leaderboards give players their own reasons to keep building. The app does the motivating.
