Head Up FC — Football IQ

About this app

Top footballers check their shoulders up to six times in the ten seconds before receiving the ball. Head Up FC builds that habit — at home, with any Google Cardboard-style viewer. PLAY WITH OR WITHOUT A HEADSET Slot your iPhone into any Cardboard-style viewer for full VR — or tap PLAY WITHOUT HEADSET and look around by moving your phone. Same drills, same coach, no extra gear. FIVE DRILL FAMILIES, BUILT ON SPORT SCIENCE • Receive & Decide — scan while the pass travels in, then pick the best option as runs unfold around you • Scan & Recall — the picture blanks at the moment you receive: where was the free man? • Pressure Release — thread the through ball inside the onside window; too early or too late both fail • Set Pieces — read the keeper's lean on penalties, beat the wall on free kicks, find the unmarked runner on corners • Goalkeeper — face the penalty run-up, the one-v-one touch and the crowded cross: pick the save, the spread or the punch before the strike TRAIN LIKE EVERY POSITION Striker, winger, midfielder, fullback, center back and goalkeeper each get their own tactical scenarios — cutbacks, layoffs, switches, line-breaking passes, overlap timing, keeper distribution. PROGRESS YOU CAN FEEL • Four skill axes — Scanning, Speed, Accuracy, Composure — benchmarked against published professional scanning research • Levels from BEGINNER to PRO: decision windows tighten as you improve • Career XP, 13 badges and a 14-beat career storyline from your coach • A voice coach reads every verdict and tip aloud (switchable) A REAL MATCH AROUND YOU A floodlit stadium, two full teams (choose 5v5 to 11v11), goalkeepers, crowd noise — and a coach in your ear. SAFE BY DESIGN No accounts. No ads. Your training stats stay on your phone — the app shares only anonymous usage statistics to improve the drills, and you can switch those off in settings. Clear safety guidance and break reminders; designed for players aged 9+ with adult supervision for younger children. Requires a Google Cardboard-compatible viewer for the VR experience.
