An Individual Development Plan (IDP) is a living roadmap—3–5 priority goals, ongoing feedback, and visible progress across a season. In PlayerUp, IDPs connect directly to training plans, post-session notes, and player profiles so they actually get used.

Why choose IDPs for soccer development

IDP soccer brings structure to development: clear goals, regular feedback, and simple progress tracking—kept in one place so coaches and players stay aligned.

Personalized growth

Target technical skills (serve receive/passing, setting, attacking), defense (digging, blocking), plus physical and mental goals.

Clear accountability

Coach and player align on goals, checkpoints, and timelines that stick.

Visible progress

Ratings, notes, and clips track measurable improvement week to week.

Player buy-in

Athletes take ownership when their plan is transparent and easy to update.
