Each age needs a different kind of coaching, and a different amount of video. These pages say what is typical at each stage, what is worth coaching, and where a phone and TacticalSnap actually help.

Coaching under-5s: what football looks like at three and four, and where video fits
Under-5 football is play, not matches: short sessions of 30 to 45 minutes, a ball for every child, games of 1v1 to 4v4 without goalkeepers, and no scores that matter. Video is for the coach, not for the children: a phone on a tripod shows you which games keep everyone moving and who barely touches the ball, so you can change next week's session. Never post clips of under-5s publicly.
Coaching under-10s: 7v7, the first real tactics, and how to use match video
Under-10 football is usually 7v7, or 5v5 in some countries, on a small pitch with goalkeepers and rules that encourage playing out from the back. It is the best age to start using video: a few seconds of your own match show children where the space was, and the coach sees patterns that are invisible from the touchline. Film from the halfway line, high, with the whole pitch in frame, and show children seconds, not minutes.
Coaching under-15s: 11v11 tactics, player development, and a weekly video routine
Under-15 football is the full game: 11v11 on a full or near-full pitch, offside, team systems, and players who can understand and use video. This is where analysis pays back most: team shape, pressing, transitions and set pieces can be shown on your own match, and players can review their own clips. Film from high on the halfway line, keep a weekly review of 15 to 20 minutes, and make it about decisions, not blame.
