How DRILLPITCH works

Three simple ways to use the platform. Pick what fits — every option gives you instant access and is priced in your local currency.

Buying a manual

The simplest way to start — no subscription needed.

1. Find a manualBrowse or search the shop by position, age group, drill type or level. Two starter manuals are free.
2. Checkout your wayPay by card (Stripe) or PayPal, as a guest or signed in. No account is required to buy.
3. Download instantlyYour PDF and EPUB are ready on the success page straight away — and any time after at drillpitch.com/guests with the same email.

Subscribing to the AI Assistant

For coaches who want plans built in seconds, every week.

1. Choose a planStarter, Coach, Club, Elite or Elite+ — each with a monthly message allowance. Cancel any time.
2. Create your account & payCard or PayPal. Your plan links to your account the moment payment clears.
3. Open the assistantPlan seasons, sessions and player development, build formations (Coach up), and export print-ready PDFs.

The Coaching Academy

Every manual, one monthly price — the library, not the tools.

1. SubscribeJoin the Coaching Academy on the shop page, card or PayPal. An account is required so your access follows you.
2. Everything unlocksEvery manual page and shop card shows an instant Download button — all 900+ titles, PDF and EPUB.
3. Keep what you buyCancel any time. Pass access ends, but manuals you bought individually stay in your library forever.

How the Coaching Academy works

The DRILLPITCH Coaching Academy is the simplest way to get every coaching manual in one place. Instead of buying sessions one at a time, one monthly subscription unlocks the entire library of 900+ PDF manual guides — drills, tactics, set pieces, goalkeeping, position masterclasses and full season plans, for ages 5 to senior.

1. Subscribe in seconds — card or PayPal, priced in your local currency.
2. Unlock all 900+ manuals instantly — browse by age, level and focus area and download as many as you like.
3. Download clean PDFs — print them or open them on your phone at the side of the pitch.
4. Cancel any time — and anything you buy individually is yours to keep forever.

It's ideal for coaches who plan every week, and for clubs and academies who want their whole coaching staff working from the same professional library so every age group develops the same way. If you'd buy more than a couple of manuals a month, the Coaching Academy pays for itself.

How the coach plans work

The DRILLPITCH coach plans unlock the AI tools that plan your week for you. Every plan starts with a 3-day free trial — try it with your own team before you pay a penny. Here's what each plan gives you:

• Starter — the AI Coach's Assistant: plan full sessions, whole seasons and individual player-development plans in seconds, age-banded and ready to print.
• Coach — everything in Starter, plus the Tactics & Formation Builder to plan your shape and your game.
• Club — adds the Tactics Assistant and a larger allowance for busy coaches.
• Elite — adds Game Data analysis to track and improve performance.
• Elite+ — the complete toolkit with the highest allowance.

Tell the Assistant your age group, your numbers and what you want to work on, and it builds a complete, progressive session — or a whole season — in seconds. Every plan is editable and exports as a print-ready PDF. What used to take an evening now takes a minute, so you spend your time coaching, not planning.

How the Formation & Tactics Builder works

The Tactics & Formation Builder is an online tactics board that thinks with you. It's the easiest way to plan how your team sets up and plays:

1. Drag your formation onto the pitch — choose from 33 formations or build your own, from 5v5 to 11v11.
2. Set your team instructions — high press, low block, man-marking, defensive shape or attacking, and watch your players set up accordingly.
3. Get AI coaching for your shape — the AI Adviser explains exactly how to coach the setup you've built.
4. Draw runs and passes, plan the opposition, and export a match-sheet PDF for the dugout.

It works in your browser on any device — plan at home, tweak on the way to the game, coach from the touchline. Included from the Coach plan upward.

How DRILLPITCH improves your players

All of it points at one thing: better-prepared coaches develop better players. Here's how DRILLPITCH makes a real difference on the pitch:

• Every session has a purpose — structured, progressive plans mean players improve by design, not by accident.
• One connected curriculum — when every coach works from the same library, players develop consistently as they move up the age groups.
• More time coaching, less time planning — the hours you save on prep go back into actually developing your players.
• Smarter tactics — players who understand their shape and role play with more confidence and make better decisions.
• Measurable progress — session plans, player development and game data help you see and drive real improvement over a season.

Whether you grab a single manual, unlock the whole library with the Coaching Academy, or let the AI plan your week, you end up with sharper sessions, a clearer plan, and players who develop faster.

Common questions

Do I need an account to buy a manual?

No. You can check out as a guest with just your email, and download instantly. You can also sign in later with that same email to find your purchases at drillpitch.com/guests.

What’s the difference between the AI subscription and the Coaching Academy?

The AI subscription gives you the Coach’s Assistant and planning tools but not the manual library. The Coaching Academy gives you every manual but no AI tools. They’re separate — pick the one that fits, or hold both.

Are prices shown in my currency?

Yes. Prices display and charge in your local currency — pounds, euros or dollars — based on your region.

Can I cancel any time?

Yes, both the AI subscription and the Coaching Academy can be cancelled at any time. You keep any manuals you bought individually forever.

How do I pay?

Card (via Stripe) or PayPal, on every option — manuals, AI subscriptions and the Coaching Academy.
