- LaceUp Soccer
Sports
LaceUp Soccer provides a digital platform designed to address the lack of consistent and clear player progress measurement in youth soccer. It targets the youth soccer market, specifically clubs, coaches, and parents of players in age groups from U8 to U19 in markets including the US and UK. The business operates on a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model with distinct subscription plans. For individual families, the service costs $15 per month per player, with a family cap of $25 per month for two or more children. A free initial evaluation is offered to all new users. For soccer clubs, LaceUp offers tiered, flat-rate monthly subscriptions starting with a free plan for up to 30 players and paid plans ranging from $49 to $349 per month based on the club's roster size, not per coach or player. The core of the service is a cadence-based evaluation system that allows for regular player assessment throughout a season. The platform utilizes a standardized evaluation rubric of 29 skills for outfield players and 23 for goalkeepers, covering technical, tactical, physical, and psychological attributes. These rubrics are benchmarked against established standards, including the US Soccer Player Development Framework, for different age groups. After a coach, or a parent conducting a self-evaluation, completes the 5-10 minute assessment, an AI assistant generates a development plan in plain English. This plan, which the coach reviews and approves, provides actionable drills and a clear focus for the player's near-term development. This process gives clubs a tool to improve player development and increase family retention, while parents receive transparent, consistent feedback on their child's progress.
