Inside the app
Gaffer selects a real session, it does not write one. It uses the Engine Room to assemble the running order.
The principle we won't break
It selects and arranges. It never generates.
Every session The Gaffer hands you is built from real, authored coaching content — not text a model made up to sound plausible. That distinction is the whole point.
Not An AI that invents drills from nothing.
A system that selects and arranges from the real TouchTight coaching library.
Not A chatbot dressed in coaching clothes.
Grounded in age-appropriate, constraint-led structure — every time.
Not A black box you have to trust blindly.
Fully editable — swap any section, or accept the lot.
How it works
From "training's tonight" to a signed-off session.
Tell it your team.
Age group, focus, player count, session length — three taps, or a plain-English sentence. The Gaffer reads either.
- Works from a sentence: "U13, 60 minutes, pressing triggers"
- Or three quick chips if you'd rather tap than type
A real session gets assembled.
Gaffer selects a real session, it does not write one. It uses the Engine Room to assemble a warm-up, technical work, a small-sided game and a match.
- Sourced honestly — no hallucinated drills
- Age-appropriate structure, tuned for the time you've got
It lands on your calendar.
Accept it as-is, or edit any section first. Either way, it lands on your calendar, your coaches are notified, and a PDF is ready for the touchline.
- Edit, swap or regenerate any single phase
- Whole club sees the plan the moment it's signed off
An AI football session planner, built for the touchline
Not a chatbot. A planner grounded in a real coaching library.
Most "AI session builder" tools for football are a general-purpose chatbot wearing a coaching skin — plausible-sounding text with no grounding in how a session actually needs to be structured for an age group, or whether the drill it just described exists anywhere. The Gaffer works differently: it's an automated football training plan generator built directly on top of TouchTight's own coaching library, so every session it assembles is sourced, age-appropriate, and editable.
That's the difference between an AI football session planner that looks the part and one grassroots coaches and clubs can actually hand to a fresh face on a Tuesday night — a real, constraint-led plan, built for you, in under a minute.
