Hi Product Hunt 👋 I run a youth football academy in Lithuania. For years the club ran on spreadsheets, a WhatsApp group and a coach's notebook. Attendance lived in someone's head. A parent would ask how her son was doing and the honest answer was "well, I think". Everything built for football is built for professional clubs. It costs thousands and assumes you employ an analyst. Nothing was built for a club with six squads and two paid staff. So I built Scoutiqo for my own academy first. A coach marks attendance for eighteen players in under a minute, on his phone, at the side of a pitch. After a match he scores them on three things and it takes five minutes — because if it took fifteen he'd never do it twice. A parent opens a link from WhatsApp and sees that their son attended 17 of 19 sessions and what his coach actually wrote. Clubs can collect monthly fees by card straight into their own bank account, and announce open trials that families can find and apply to. Two things I care about more than features: Parental consent is built in from the start, not bolted on. These are children. A guardian ticks what they agree to, separately, and can withdraw any of it in one tap. Nothing about a child is ever gated on whether a fee was paid. And Scoutiqo never charges parents or players. Clubs pay. Parents pay their club's fees and nothing else. Selling families the hope their child will be discovered is the business model of every predatory scheme in youth football, and I want no part of it. Match video analysis is in development — it finds moments worth watching and gives you clickable timestamps. It doesn't track players or measure distances, and I'd rather say that plainly than imply otherwise. Free to start. I'd genuinely like to hear from anyone who runs a club, especially about what you tried before and why you stopped using it.
