Playing football is a great family activity. But what if one of the backyard players turns out to be a future football star? Just dribbling around might not be enough to uncover their full potential. Parents often don’t know where to start when it comes to training. Being good at the game and knowing how to teach it are two very different skills. Parents can explain the rules, but techniques require more guidance. What is needed is a structured, step-by-step course that helps kids improve their football skills while still keeping the game fun.
The Perpetio team started work on the sports app development by creating wireframes and user flows to make sure parents without coaching experience could easily navigate the training content.
The design focuses on video lessons, diagrams, and practice plans for clear and practical learning.
Here's our plan of action:
Family F.C. is a simple, easy-to-use sports app available on both iOS and Android.
The final product includes:
Parents can add new team members by entering their names and uploading photos. They also select one of three age groups: 4 to 6, 7 to 8, or 9 to 11, and the app automatically provides a training program tailored to that age range. Trainers can also choose a player's position and add notes. And, of course, any team needs a name too!
Parents can see all their team members at a glance and choose who is training today – after all, our little athletes might be busy with homework, playdates, or other adventures. The app then shows the training program for each selected player. To make navigation more fun, parents can add color-coded stickers for each team member, so it is easy to distinguish between players. Trainers can check stats and ratings to plan exercises and celebrate each player's progress.
When parents first open the app, they are guided through each screen with small tips explaining every action. This makes it easy to navigate even for those who have never used a similar app and helps them get familiar with all the features naturally. The tips show how to add players, select training programs, and track progress, so parents can start coaching right away without confusion.
In Family F.C., each player has a training plan tailored to their age group. Each plan includes several courses divided into sessions with detailed exercise instructions, examples, and videos. Everything is ready for productive training with clear drills. Each session includes a warm-up, skill activity, and game-based practice. Players can train at their own pace using suggested session lengths and adjust them to fit their time and energy. The programs are created by child development experts, school teachers, and football pros, including Matt Jarvis, a former England National Team and Premier League player. All sessions are aligned with the UK's PE curriculum.
It's easy to track progress in Family F.C. Each player has a profile showing all their stats, including exercises completed, number of repetitions, trainer ratings, sessions played, and favorite sessions.
