Grassroots football community

The game deserves more.

At tactico, we're building more than software. We're changing how sport thinks about management and intelligence. We're creating the Grassroots Operating System - a smarter way for clubs, coaches, and players to run, connect, and grow.

We started where every good story starts: with frustration.

After years of managing teams through spreadsheets, documents, thousands of WhatsApp messages, and hundreds of wasted admin hours, we asked a simple question: Why isn't there a better way?

We were fed up with accounting packages and subscription management platforms that bolt on a few team features as an afterthought - finance tools pretending to be team tools.

No parent, player, coach, or guardian wants their regular interaction with their club to be through a billing system.

Yes, subscriptions need to be paid. Yes, safeguarding matters. Yes, financial admin is essential.

But that stuff should just work. Seamlessly. Simply. Behind the scenes.

Existing tools were built for accountants, not coaches. Designed for billing cycles, not training sessions. Focused on subscription management, not player development. They've kept coaches buried in admin when they should have been planning tactics - and left clubs stuck with outdated systems that can't keep up with the energy of grassroots sport.

We decided to build what should have existed all along.

The World's First Intelligent Team Management Platform

Founded in 2025, tactico is the world's first intelligent team management platform - built to make life simpler for coaches and clubs, and to support the development and enjoyment of players, parents, and guardians.

We're About the Real Stuff

Teams. Players. Matches. Coaches. Clubs.

The authentic elements of the game that matter.

Getting to training. Seeing your stats. Sharing match reports with family. Tracking attendance streaks. Watching player progress over time. Helping athletes develop and achieve their potential.

That's football. That's grassroots. That's sport.

Not a payments company telling you there's a match this weekend.

Grassroots football community

We put the game first. Always.

What matters is what happens on the pitch. Player development. Coach empowerment. Match preparation. Tactical insights. Attendance. Progress. Recognition. Community.

The financial admin? The safeguarding compliance? The subscription management? They work. Automatically. In the background. Exactly as they should. Because we believe you deserve tools built for the reality of grassroots sport - not for accountants, IT, and billing departments.

Born from football, but built for any sport where teams gather, train, and compete, we give clubs and coaches the tools to prepare, manage, and win - while transforming the data behind every game into intelligence that actually works.

No compromises on the pitch. No compromises off it.

Our Team

Built by coaches, creators, and technologists united by sport.

Our team brings together experienced coaches, sports professionals, and tech entrepreneurs who share one uncompromising belief: the game, whatever your game, deserves better.

We've stood pitch-side at 7am training sessions. We've led companies from start-up to exit. We've worked with global brands and grassroots clubs. We've seen first-hand how clunky systems, scattered data, and endless admin steal time from what matters.

So we built tactico. Simple, beautiful tools. Powerful intelligence. Designed by people who live and breathe sport.

Our Values

Grounded in sport. Driven by intelligence. Defined by our obsession to improve.

1

Built for the Game

Everything we build starts pitch-side, not board-side. We design with real coaches, players, and clubs - for the realities of sport, not the theory.

If it doesn't work at the pitch, it doesn't ship.

Attack, Not Admin

We believe time should be spent planning tactics, not clicking through tabs. Every feature removes friction and gives coaches back their focus.

We're at war with wasted time.

3

Intelligence with Instinct

We use AI to extend what's possible - not to replace the people who make sport what it is. Technology working quietly in the background, surfacing insights to enable make better decisions.

Intelligence supporting instinct. Technology serving the game.

From the design of the tools to the detail of the data, we hold ourselves to the same standard athletes do: relentless preparation, precision execution, and no shortcuts.

No compromises on the pitch. No compromises off it.

Grassroots grit. Global ambition.
