The story

Every pro started on a Saturday morning in the park.

You start with a squad of eight-year-olds in a Maple Grove rec league, with orange slices at half time and parents on the sideline. Each season the kids grow up. Win your league, push through travel soccer, earn an Academy invite, and get a player good enough for the pro scouts to call.

Career: U8 to the pros

Seven-game league seasons, a league table, end-of-season reports and growth spurts. Players earn experience from match ratings, goals and wins, and the best of them catch the pro scouts' eye.

Your town, your rivals

Eighteen clubs from around Maple Grove: the Osseo Otters, Plymouth Pines, Rogers Rockets, Wayzata Walleyes, Champlin Comets and more. Every team and player is made up.

Your squad, your way

Rename your players and give them numbers, positions, skin tones, hairstyles, heights and goal celebrations. Design your home and away kits; opponents change kit if the colours clash.

Jenko on the mic

Over a hundred lines of recorded commentary, from "Bent it into the corner!" to "Rattles the woodwork!", plus real crowd sounds from the sideline.

Two players, or online

Play a friend on the same computer with two controllers, or team up against the computer. Across town? One player hosts, gets a five-letter code, and their friend types it in to play from their own computer.

Train for real

Send a player to the handheld trainer, take it to practice, and bring him back stronger. Read on.

The handheld trainer

Real training makes your players better.

Pick a player from your squad and send him over Wi-Fi to a pocket-sized trainer (an M5Stack CoreS3). He lives there while you train:

Steps and running are counted from your pocket and build pace.
Real practice such as shooting, passing or a team session gets logged on the touchscreen, with a weekly plan set by a parent.
Five mini games: Penalties, Tilt Dribble (steer by tilting the device), Keepy-Uppy, Tackle Time, and Speed Shot, which times a real kick into your rebounder.
Streaks and energy: moving for real earns the energy that pays for mini games.

Sync him back to the game and his new stats come with him. Trained players wear a ★.
