A youth soccer app uses an iPhone or iPad camera to count ball touches during six drills, turning daily practice into a shared family competition.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-06 issue.

Field notes

The app turns six short ball drills into a repeatable scoring loop: a phone watches the ball, counts touches on-device, and maps progress against each player's personal target. Its competition model is deliberately normalized, allowing a seven-year-old and a thirteen-year-old to race toward different goals. Family accounts can hold multiple child profiles, while invitations use codes and expose first names only. The site says the product is currently in private TestFlight beta.
