Development you can see
Quick notes and ratings after training and matches build a picture of every player, and who's improving.

Built by a grassroots coach, for grassroots coaches
Gafferbook started as one volunteer coach's hub for his own team: every result, scorer and line-up in one place, so decisions on a Saturday morning were based on what had actually happened. It made coaching easier and fairer, so we built it for everyone.
Set up my team →Questions
Is it really free?
Yes. Gafferbook is free for grassroots coaches. No card, no trial.
What about children's data?
We keep first names and a last initial only. No dates of birth, no contact details, and player photos never leave your phone. You can edit or delete anything.
Do I have to add everything now?
No. Start with a sentence about your team; add players, fixtures and results whenever you like. Every bit you add makes the insights better.
Where does the data come from?
From you: team sheets, results you add, quick replies to check-ins, and the tools you use. The AI only ever sees first names or player codes.
Can my assistant coaches see it?
You can share session plans, match plans and season plans with anyone by link. Shared team access is coming.
