How it will work
Two simple pictures will show little feet where to go, so you don't have to know the "right" technique to help.
Line up the inside of your foot with the shoe picture for a gentle pass.
The PASS and SHOOT arrows show which way the ball will go.
Pick an easy backyard game and take turns. Cheer every try.

Meet Coach Nico
In his orange cap, with his whistle and clipboard, Coach Nico will cheer you on in the activity guide and videos, with friendly tips.
He's a cartoon buddy for your family, not a real coach. He's here to cheer, not to judge.
Our story
From a rec soccer field to a backyard in Michigan.
Coach Dave and Coach Logan are building NicoGO! for backyard family time, not superstars.
Read our storyNicoGO! hasn't been tested with families yet, so there are no reviews or testimonials. Real, verified feedback will appear here only after family testing and launch.
Parent tips
