I play futsal in Australia and I love this game very much. I also
work for IBM as a software developer. In my free time I wrote a
simple but impressive animation software that can be very usefull for
the coaches and players in understanding tactics of the game.

Coach Assistant Software allows you to design episodes frame by frame and then animate them on computer screen.
attach text comments to every frame of the episode.
attach audio comments to the whole episode.
play the episode on the computer screen.
play the audio comment
play episodes designed by other users of Coach Assistant software

Episode can illustrate an exercise or a real match situation.
It also can be used to demonstrate a certain tactics, positioning of
players etc.

Coach Assistant software consists of two separate programs:
Episode Player and Episode Recorder
Episode Player allows to play episodes.

Episode Recorder is used to create new episodes and store them on the
disk.

Both programs are written on Java.
To run the Player it is enough to have java enabled browser.
To run the Recorder program you should have java run-time installed
on your computer. This web site contains some episodes already
created for you. If you want to have a look at them please start the
Episode Player. We will continue working on our Episode Database so
as time goes on it will have more and more of them.

If you have a spare 10 min of your time you can go to http://www.futsalcoaching.com, click Drills Design and Animation and
then choose one of the following

Start Episode Player with Tips
Start Episode Player with Drills
Start Episode Player with Standard Situation

The screen you will see will contain in the left bottom corner a list
of the episodes available for playing
Click on one of them and then press button "Load Episode"
After the episode is loaded you can play it by pressing "Play
Episode" button from the top toolbar.

I would be happy to listen to your opinion about this program
If you want to use my software on your web site you can do it.
It is free now and I will help you to set everyhting up.

Sincerely yours
Pavel
