Youth soccer training
More time on the ball.
Kids get better at soccer one way: time with a ball at their feet. 500 Touches makes that happen every day, by turning it into a race they actually want to run.
Why they keep doing it
Nagging doesn't produce daily practice. Wanting to beat their friend does. Every player gets their own daily touch target, and the Goal Race scores everyone on progress toward their own goal — so a seven-year-old and a thirteen-year-old are genuinely in the same race. Streaks build. The weekly Goal Cup resets every Monday.
What it does to their game
A first touch, both feet, the confidence to receive a ball under pressure — none of that comes from one team practice a week. It comes from a few hundred touches in the kitchen or the driveway, most days.
Six drills, one skill each
- Toe Taps — quick feet, soft touches
- Tick Tocks — inside to inside
- Sole Rolls — pull, switch, repeat
- Push Pulls — back and forward
- Juggling — keep it up
- Gate Chase — move the ball into each glowing gate
The phone does the counting
Prop it against a wall and play. The camera watches the ball and keeps the count, so nobody stops to tap a screen between reps. Touch counting runs entirely on the device — video is never recorded and never uploaded.
Made for families
Add a profile for each kid on one phone, and share the account so both parents see the same players and the same rounds. Invite another family with a code and their kids join the race. A grown-up accepts invites, players appear as first names only, and there is no search, no discovery, and no way for a stranger to find anyone.
