The problem

Your child wants to get better. But what should they actually practise at home?

  • Club training is a few hours a week. The rest of the week has no plan.
  • You want to help, but you are not a coach.
  • Your child doesn't always know what to work on.
  • Videos online give drills, one after another, with no order.

Random drills are not a training programme.

The Athlekid solution

One system. One training path.

A 360° training mat, a guided app, and a sequence of sessions that builds on itself.

01

Mat

Creates the training space.

02

App

Structured 15-minute practice.

04

You don't have to become the coach.

Athlekid tells your child what to do, how to do it and what comes next.

You provide the space.

Who built it

Three practitioners designed every session.

Not a marketing team. A UEFA-licensed coach, a personal trainer and a physiotherapist, each responsible for what they do for a living.

Built by two dads who needed it first

Patryk's son was a passionate young player. During a growth spurt, problems with movement and balance appeared, and targeted home exercises made the difference. Patryk spoke to Lukas, they brought in the practitioners, and the idea became a working system.

"…and yes I'm co-founder's son Olek and it all started with me and my dad and idea to give affordable home training solution to every kid around the world!"

Where the product is today

This is a prelaunch. Here is exactly what exists.

The mat is a finished, tested product. The app is in testing. We would rather say that here than have you find out later.

The mat and its packaging photographed outdoors

Working physical product

The mat and supporting components are functional and undergoing testing.

300+ exercises designed

The library and training balance are under review with field experts.

Sessions produced

A technology demo and preview sessions are recorded; filming and voiceovers are being refined.

App in testing

A functional MVP is built and tested on iOS and Android.

What Athlekid does not do

  • The mat does not track, score or measure anything. It is printed, not smart.
  • The app does not see your child. It guides; the player executes.
  • There is no AI in the training content. Every session was designed by our practitioners.
  • It does not replace club training. It fills the days in between.
  • It will not make your child a professional. It gives them a structure for the hours nobody else is organising.

FAQ

Questions parents ask first.

Product

What age is Athlekid for?
6 to 12. That is the only age range the programme is built for — the loads, the language and the progression are all tuned to it.
How much space do I need?
About 1.5 × 1.5 m of clear floor. The mat itself is 115 × 105 cm; the rest is room to step off it.
Can it be used indoors?
Yes — it is designed for indoors. Any hard floor: wood, laminate, tile, concrete. The backing is non-slip; on thick carpet it will move. The sessions are ball-control and bodyweight work rather than jumping, so it is usable in a flat.
Does my child need a football?
Yes, for the ball work. A ball is included in the Complete kit; with the Core kit you use the one you already have. Grip socks are included in both — shoes damage the surface.
How long is each session?
Around 15 minutes. Some are shorter, some run to about 20, depending on the focus.

App

Is the app included?
Yes. Every kit includes 12 months of full app access, starting when you receive the shipment and log in for the first time.
Is there a subscription?
Not for the first 12 months — they are included in the price of the kit. After that, renewal is optional and will be no more than USD 5 per month, with a cheaper annual option. The price is not final yet; that ceiling is a commitment.
What devices are supported?
Test builds run on iOS and Android. At launch we plan App Store, Google Play and web access. Sessions can be cast or mirrored to a smart TV; there is no dedicated TV app. Sessions also work offline.
How does progression work?
The app opens on the next session rather than a library. Sessions unlock one at a time in a sequence designed by our practitioners; following it as it unlocks, the current path runs about a year.
Does the mat connect to the app?
No, and it does not need to. The app runs the session; the mat shows where the movement happens. Nothing to pair, nothing to charge.

Training

Does Athlekid replace academy training?
No. It complements coach-led training, matches, free play, other sports and rest. It fills the days between sessions.
Can children with different skill levels use it?
Yes. The path starts from the basics and builds up, and any session can be repeated. A child who already trains at a club works through it faster; a beginner takes it at their own pace.
How often should children train?
One session a day is the design. The goal is not a perfect streak — it is that starting is easy enough to repeat.
Can two children use one mat?
Yes. Selected sessions have two-player modes for siblings, friends or teammates.
Does Athlekid guarantee improvement?
It helps children learn effective movement patterns and build consistent habits. Regular practice alongside team training supports visible progress, but results cannot be guaranteed — every child develops at a different pace.
Is there AI in the training?
No. Every exercise was designed and sequenced by our practitioners. Nothing in the programme is generated.

Prelaunch

What exactly do I get?
Either the Core kit — mat, grip socks and 12 months of app access — or the Complete kit, which adds the training ball, cards, roller and resistance bands. Both are listed in full above.
What happens when I join the prelaunch?
You get one email when we launch and one reminder before the launch offer closes. Nothing else, and no obligation to buy.
What is the early-access price?
Prices are announced at launch. Everyone on the early-access list sees them first, and the launch offer is the lowest price the kits will have.
When will the product ship?
Production and fulfilment dates are confirmed before launch and communicated to everyone on the early-access list. We would rather give you a date we can hold than one we cannot.
What language is the app in?
English at launch. A group of 500 users from one country unlocks the training content in that country's language.

For coaches & clubs

A structured home programme under your name.

Your players train a few hours a week with you. The rest of the week has no plan — and the parents ask you what to do about it.

Academy access opens the full exercise library, and Trainer Mode lets a coach select exercises and sessions for children to complete in team training or at home.

For partners

Athlekid as a business.

Retail and distribution, brand and federation programmes, and where the company stands today.

Distribution & retail

A boxed product with an app behind it.

The kids' training shelf is cones and ladders: low margin, no story, no repeat purchase.

  • Folds to 42 × 34 cm, works on any hard floor — no electronics, no battery, no pairing, so no returns for a product that stopped connecting
  • Tested to EN 71-1, EN 71-2 and EN 71-3 — it sits on the sports shelf and on the toy and gift shelf
  • Gear is a line, not a box of extras: children grow, ball size 3 becomes size 4. The mat is bought once; the gear is not
  • Public demand data available within 30 days of the consumer launch

Next stepTrade terms, territories and MOQ are set after the consumer launch. We show you the launch numbers before we discuss terms.

Brands & federations

A grassroots programme you can report on.

Grassroots programmes are easy to announce and hard to show. Athlekid reaches a child at home, not only at a club session.

  • Every mat can carry your identity: colours, crest, programme name
  • An app environment opened only to the clubs in your programme
  • 2026 pilots — distribution-level reporting: mats delivered, clubs and age groups covered, coaches onboarded
  • 2027 onward — session-level reporting from the app. On the roadmap, not in the current build; we would rather say so now than in month four

Next stepA pilot from 30 mats across three to five clubs, one term, with a review at the end.

The position we are taking

115 × 105

Size is the hard advantage

Every comparable training mat we could confirm sits between roughly 60 × 90 and 100 × 60 cm. At 115 × 105 cm a child can complete a 360° turn on the surface. That is geometry, not a claim — and it cannot be matched without redesigning the product.

6–12

One age range, not a spread

Comparable products address 6–16, 6+, or "from 5 years". A wide range signals a programme tuned to none of them. A narrow window is a selling argument, not a limitation.

4th

The cognitive dimension is open

Almost the entire category stands on ball mastery and footwork. Scanning, reading the game and decision-making are barely addressed by anyone.
