Touchline Manager

Get yourself in the game

Put your grassroots team in the game.

Sign your child up and they'll be in Touchline Manager, playing for their real grassroots team. In your game, they'll be scouted and signed by a local academy, and you follow their career season by season.

Sign your child upFind your club

Sign-ups close on 30 November 2026. That's when we build the player list for launch. Children added after that join in the first update.

Aged 13 to 17? Put yourself in. When you start the game, add yourself as a player and you'll appear in your own academy. It stays on your phone and is never sent to us.

Two minutes

How it works

  1. Add your child

    Find their club, then add their name, position, birth month and year. No photos.

  2. Share your team code

    Post one link in the team's group chat, so the other parents can add their children too.

  3. Play with the same email

    When the game launches, sign in with the same email and your child is in your career from day one.

The team chat

One message gets the whole squad in

The parent who signs up first gets a team code. Paste it in the group chat and every family on the team can join with it.

Coaches and club secretaries

850 real grassroots clubs are already in the game. Find your club and claim its page to set your colours and badge, and get one link for every team's parents.

Example message

We're building a new football management game, Touchline Manager, and grassroots teams can be in it. If you'd like your child and Riverside Rovers U12 in the game, sign up with our team code RIVR-7Q4. In the game, players can be scouted and signed by local academies. It takes two minutes and there are no photos. Sign-ups close on 30 November 2026.

  • Fiction, and clearly soBeing scouted happens in the game. It isn't a real trial, and no real club sees your child's details.
  • You choose who sees themYour child is in your game. Teammates' families, or other players, see them only if you say yes, and other players never see their club.
  • Parents and guardians onlyOnly a parent or legal guardian can sign a child up.
  • Free for familiesYou never pay to have your child in the game, and you can remove them at any time.

Questions

Parents ask

What do you store about my child?

Their name (and known-as name, if you give one), birth month and year, nationality, shirt number, club and team, position, stronger foot, how good they are for their age group and whether they play a year up, two strengths, their height now, and optionally the parents' heights and a favourite club. Heights work out how tall they grow in the game. No photos, and never the full date of birth.

Is my child's club in the game?

Probably. 850 real grassroots clubs are in already. Find your club. If it isn't there, add it when you sign your child up.

Is the scouting real?

No. Everything that happens in the game is fiction. It isn't a real trial or scouting opportunity, and no real club sees your child's details.

Does it cost anything to add my child?

No. Families never pay to have their child in the game.

Can I take my child out again?

Yes, at any time. Delete them from your family account and they're removed.

What about girls?

Girls' football is on its way. Leave your email in the form below and we'll tell you when it's ready.

Girls' football is on its way

Everything that happens in the game is fiction. It isn't a real trial or scouting opportunity, and no real club sees your child's details. Your child appears only in your game and, if you choose, in the games of the other families on your team.
