Football IQ Training

Reps are the
scarcest thing
in football.

A young player learns the game by seeing it — over and over, until the picture makes sense. But practice is short, and most of the reps go to the starter. VR44 gives every player the reps, without needing the field.

Your plays. Their reps.

The problem

The kid who gets it fastest has simply seen it most

Picture a fourteen-year-old at his first real practice. He's handed a playbook — a binder of arrows and letters that means almost nothing to him yet. He's told where to line up. He's told what to do when the ball is snapped. And then he stands on the sideline and watches somebody else do it.

He might get five live reps all week. The starter gets most of them. The backup gets the leftovers. And the kid who's brand new — the one who needs them most — gets the fewest of anyone, because you can't hand live reps to a player who doesn't know where to stand yet.

So he learns slowly. Not because he isn't capable, and not because he isn't working. He learns slowly because nobody can see a play enough times to understand it when the play only happens five times.

Talent decides the ceiling.
Reps decide how fast you get there.

Watch any player who "just gets it" and you'll usually find the same thing underneath: he has seen that picture before. He knows what a defense looks like right before it does something, because he's watched it happen a hundred times. That recognition is learnable — it just takes volume, and volume is exactly what a practice schedule can't give you.

That's the gap VR44 was built to close. Not to replace practice, and not to replace coaching — but to give a young player somewhere to go and see the game again, and again, and again, until the picture finally slows down.

How it works

Three steps, in a coach's own language

A play travels the same path every time — from the coach's hand, to the player's screen, to the headset. Nothing complicated, and nothing a coach has to be taught twice.

01

Install

The play goes in. A coach builds it himself — drags the players where he wants them, draws the routes, sets the right answer — or starts from one of our core concepts. It's his playbook, in his language, filed in folders he names.

Walkthrough

The player runs it in a browser first. He steps through it untimed until he knows his job, then takes it on the clock and makes the read. No headset needed — which means the whole squad can learn, not just whoever's holding the hardware.

Live Reps

Now he puts the headset on and stands in it. Real speed, real pressure, from his own position's point of view. He makes the call, and finds out immediately whether he was right — and how long he took.

Game speed, no contact
The play builder

Draw it once.
Every player reps it.

This is where a coach puts his football in. No developer, no forms full of coordinates — he grabs a player and moves him, bends a route with his mouse, and tells VR44 what the right read is. The moment he publishes, his players can rep it on a browser and in the headset.

Drag a player, shape his route, hit Run play. That is the whole workflow.
  1. 1
    Drag and drop players. Grab anyone on the field and move him. His route moves with him.
  2. 2
    Shape every route. Select a receiver and drag the handles to bend his route exactly the way you coach it.
  3. 3
    One look, more than one answer. Add versions of a play — Give and Play Action — so the picture before the snap is the same and the right answer after it is not.
  4. 4
    Set the read. Choose who the quarterback or the Mike keys, what he's told before the rep, and the right answer for each version.
  5. 5
    Run it, then publish it. Watch the play move on the field, then publish it to the web trainer and the headset in one click.

Inside the headset

This is what a rep looks like

The player stands in his own position, sees the defense the way he will on Friday, and has a couple of seconds to make the call. Every rep ends with an answer — right or wrong, how fast, and why — and an overhead replay of exactly what happened.

The quarterback seat

He reads the defense before the snap, hears his cadence, and picks his throw by looking at a receiver. Then he finds out: CATCH! or BROKEN UP, with the coaching point and his time to decide.

  1. Pre-snap look at the defense
  2. Cadence and the snap
  3. Pick your throw
  4. Result, coaching point, reaction time

The Mike linebacker seat

He keys the running back, reads give or fake, and picks his gap from the tiles at his feet. Right fit, right time: TACKLE! Wrong gap: he sees the miss and why.

The VR44 coach dashboard: Football IQ, accuracy, reaction time and reps for every player

Every rep a player takes comes back to you. Not a participation log — the actual football. Which read he made, whether it was right, and how long it took him to decide.

  • Build your own plays. Your concepts, your terminology, your folders. No developer involved, no waiting on anybody.
  • Assign the week's install. To one player, to a position group, or to the whole team.
  • See it by player. Reps taken, accuracy, reaction time, and a Football IQ that moves as he improves.
  • Watch the rep back. Every rep replays from overhead, so you can show him exactly what he saw and what he missed.
  • Find the gap early. When three players miss the same read, that's a teaching point, not a surprise.
What a player carries

Football IQ

One number that says how well a player sees the game — built from every rep he takes, on any screen.

It isn't a grade on a test he crammed for. It's a measure of recognition: did he know what he was looking at, and did he know it in time. It goes up when he puts the work in, and it's something a young player can be proud of and keep working on.

Every rep comes back to him, too

When he takes the headset off, his reps are waiting for him: his last ten, right and wrong, his reaction times, and his Football IQ. He can watch all ten back from overhead or from his own eyes.

Who it's for

Built for the players who get the fewest reps

Young players

Middle school and high school athletes who are still learning what they're looking at. The ones holding a playbook that doesn't make sense yet — and who'd put in the work if somebody gave them a way to.

Schools & programs

Coaches who want their whole roster learning the install, not just the starters. Your playbook, your language, and a way to see who's got it before the game does.

Camps & trainers

Youth programs, 7-on-7 teams and private trainers who need a way to teach the game itself — and show a player, and his parents, that he's getting better.

One platform, every format

11-man today. 7-on-7 and flag next.

A VR44 play carries its own field. When a coach creates a play he picks the kind — tackle, 7-on-7 or flag — and the field size, the positions and the reads follow. Same playbook, same dashboard, same replays, same Football IQ.

11-on-11 tackle

Available now

Full field, full roster. The quarterback and Mike linebacker seats, built from the coach's own playbook.

53⅓ × 120 yards · high school hashes

7-on-7

In development

Passing-game reps for 7-on-7 clubs and camps: a quarterback, a center and five receivers against a rusher, four defenders and two safeties.

Field size set by the coach to match his league

Flag 5-on-5

In development

The NFL FLAG format, headed to the 2028 Olympics. Flag is nearly all passing, so the quarterback read drill is flag football: a QB, a center and three receivers against a rusher, three defenders and a safety.

Who's building it

Mark Moore

VR44 was started by a football coach, not a software company. It came out of a problem Mark kept running into on his own field: the players who most needed reps were the ones least able to get them, and no amount of extra practice time was going to fix the arithmetic.

So the idea was simple. If a player can't get more reps on the field, give him somewhere else to take them — somewhere the picture is real, the clock is real, and the decision counts. Teach the eyes first, and let the body catch up.

Everything in VR44 follows from that. The football is a coach's football: every alignment, every read and every right answer is set by someone who has actually taught it. The technology exists to serve the teaching, not the other way round.
