GOATED (goated-training.com) today announced the launch of its coaching-first training platform for youth sports. Designed for coaches working with athletes ages 7 to 19, GOATED brings together animated play design, roster and schedule management, real-time player progress dashboards, and a built-in gamified training engine — all in a single platform that runs practices, develops players, and keeps parents in the loop.
The Problem: Coaches Are Doing Pro-Level Work With Rec-League Tools
Youth sports coaches are expected to design practices, develop individual players, manage rosters, communicate with parents, and track progress across an entire season, often while juggling a full-time job. Most do it with a patchwork of group texts, paper playbooks, and spreadsheets. The tools that exist at the professional and college level have never been accessible or affordable for the youth coaching market.
GOATED changes that.
The Playmaker: Animated Play Design for Every Coach
At the heart of GOATED’s coaching suite is The Playmaker, an animated play design tool that lets coaches diagram plays, set player routes and assignments, animate the action, and share the finished product directly with their team. No whiteboards. No static diagrams that players forget by game day.
Coaches can build their entire playbook inside the platform, organized by sport, formation, and situation. Players can review animated plays on their own device before practice, so teams arrive prepared and coaches spend less time explaining and more time executing.
“The Playmaker alone would be worth the price of the platform,” said Corey Larson, founder of GOATED. “But we didn’t want to build just another coaching tool. We wanted to build the platform that makes every youth coach feel like they’re running a Division I program.”
Team Management That Runs Itself
GOATED replaces the scattered tools coaches currently rely on with a centralized command center:
● Roster Management: Add players, assign positions, track attendance, and manage multiple teams from a single dashboard.
● Team Calendar: Schedule practices, games, and events. Parents and players see everything in one place with automatic sync to their personal calendars.
● Communication Hub: Send updates to the entire team or individual players. No more juggling group texts, email chains, and third-party apps.
● Schedule Syncing for Parents: Parents automatically receive schedule updates, reducing the number one source of coach-parent friction: “When is practice?”
Real-Time Player Development Dashboards
GOATED gives coaches something they have never had at the youth level: objective, data-driven visibility into how each athlete is developing between practices and games.
Every athlete on the platform completes structured, research-backed daily training sessions through GOATED’s gamified training engine. As they train, their progress feeds directly into the coach’s dashboard, showing:
● Session Completion Rates: Which players are putting in the work between practices and which ones need extra motivation.
● Skill Progression: Detailed breakdowns across sport-specific skills so coaches can identify strengths and target weaknesses.
● Engagement Trends: Spot when a player’s consistency is dropping before it becomes a problem.
● Individual Athlete Profiles: A full development history for each player that coaches can reference during evaluations, parent meetings, and season planning.
● Development Score: The development score combines everything, the engagement with the team, the mental game, the practice logs, and the gamified platform to give a player one score that rates them based on work ethic, skill, mentality, judgement, play understanding and more.
This data transforms coaching conversations. Instead of subjective assessments, coaches can show parents and players exactly where development is happening and where more focus is needed.
The Training Engine That Keeps Athletes Coming Back
The coaching tools are powered by GOATED’s athlete-facing training engine, which delivers structured, 20-minute daily sessions across basketball, baseball, football, and soccer. Each session follows a research-backed arc: warm-up, skill drills, game-speed application, and cool-down reflection.
To keep young athletes engaged and consistent, GOATED gamifies the entire experience:
● XP and Achievements: Athletes earn experience points for every completed session and unlock achievements for hitting milestones.
● Rank Progression: Players climb from Rookie to Elite, giving them a visible sense of growth and accomplishment.
● Global Leaderboards: Athletes compete with peers worldwide, turning daily training into a challenge they actively want to show up for.
● 100+ Lessons Per Sport: Each sport includes professional video content, interactive flashcards, quizzes, and real-game scenario exercises.
The result: athletes accumulate over 120 hours of focused training per year, 3x the volume of the average youth athlete. That consistency feeds directly into the coach’s dashboard, closing the loop between individual development and team performance.
Built for Families: Safe, Ad-Free, and Transparent
GOATED was designed from the ground up with families in mind. The platform is completely ad-free and built for children’s safety. Parents receive automatic progress reports showing their child’s training activity, skill development, and team schedule — without needing to chase down the coach for updates.
Schedule syncing ensures parents always know when and where their athlete needs to be. The result is less friction between coaches and parents, and more time focused on what matters: developing young athletes.
