App of the Week

iCuju, Soccer Guru was reviewed as the "App of the Week" by the Times of Acadiana.

You know the drill: One day you’re an involved parent, the next day you’re a soccer coach.

iCuju Soccer Guru is a soccer drill tool for coaches of any experience level, organized by desired skills and difficulty level. Navigation is easy, thanks to flashcards with images and written explanations. Several variations are available for most drills in order to keep things interesting. Coaches can also use included sessions to work on a particular skill or build their own sessions from the available library.

The app was built by a three-person development team right here in Acadiana, so you can feel good knowing your $4.99 helped a local small business.
