KickMap · Ball-Striking Development
Better ball contact
changes everything.
One system. More purposeful training. The free KickMap AI app analyzes ball flight and tracks progress. The optional physical KickMap Trainer guides ball contact.
All you need is a smartphone and a soccer ball.
How KickMap Works
Train. Measure. Improve.
Every kick is an opportunity to improve. KickMap combines guided ball striking with AI-powered analysis to help players train with purpose and track progress.
Strike & Record
Strike with purpose using the KickMap Trainer. KickMap AI automatically detects and records your kicks for analysis.
Understand the Result
See what the ball did — estimated speed, trajectory, curve in degrees, launch angle and strike quality.
Train with Purpose
Use the feedback to choose your next focus. Practice intentional contact and build on each rep.
Track Improvement
Training history and progress show how your ball striking develops over time.
Repeat the cycle

Rooted in science
There’s physics behind every great strike.
Contact point, force and angle shape spin and flight. The Trainer gives you a visible reference for strike placement; KickMap AI observes what the ball does next.
- 01
Contact Point
Where the foot meets the ball.
- 02
Force + Angle
How hard, and in which direction.
- 03
Spin
Rotation created at impact.
- 04
Ball Flight
The trajectory, curve and speed that follow.
Physics explains what happens. KickMap AI helps you see and understand the result.
Your phone doesn’t measure the contact itself. It observes the flight your strike creates — and that is what KickMap AI analyzes.
The KickMap System
One development system. Three powerful tools.
Learn the contact. Understand the flight. Bring development to the team with Coach Mode, under testing.
Optional · KickMap Trainer™
Learn the Contact.
A physical strike map with colored contact zones for six kick types. Use it on its own or alongside the app.

Born on the field.
Built through engineering.
Adison “Adi” Hicks combined five seasons of Division I soccer at UNH with his passion for engineering to create the original KickMap Trainer.
What began as a college project is evolving into an AI-powered platform that helps players understand every strike.
See every strike.
Develop every player.
Better Contact. Better Control. Better Soccer.
Start free with your phone and a soccer ball. Add the optional Trainer for visual contact guidance.
