The Training Ground
The Training Ground is a football academy management game played in your browser, built for your phone. Take kids aged 10–17, develop them on whatever turf you can keep alive, and sell them to the wider world — then watch that world remember your name.
• Grow the kids. Every player has hidden gifts — stats they were born to learn. Find them on the training pitch, or hire a scout whose notebook fills in the shape of each kid, month by month.
• Fix the ground. Mow, water, seed, mark the lines. Dig out the Victorian drains. Buy covers before the storm, not after. The turf your kids train on leaves its imprint on who they become — rough pitches build grit, pristine ones build polish.
• Build the name. Graduates’ careers continue after they leave — every one of them hangs on your Alumni Wall, and their echoes carry your reputation from local nobody to a name the whole game knows. Twenty years, if you’re good.
Runs entirely in your browser — nothing to install. On your phone: open in Safari/Chrome, then “Add to Home Screen” to play it like an app. Your save keeps itself, autosaves every few days, and the Ledger Drawer (Finance tab) lets you bank saves and copy them out as codes.
