Pick the team, run the session, see who played
For the coach
One week, from the touchline.
Everything a coach does standing beside a pitch is in the app. Everything that needs a keyboard is in the portal. The test is simple: could you do it one-handed, in the rain?
- Plan the session. Blocks from the club's own playbook, warm-up to cool-down, in large type for the touchline. Parents see the training; you see the plan on top.
- Pick the team. Availability reads “7 of 11 in, 3 not answered”. Standbys are picked by position.
- Run the day. Your games, your pitch, the site map, the scores. A coach of an entered team sees the fixtures without being in the squad.
- Minutes, in a minute. Everyone picked is down for the full game; you change the exceptions. The season's fairness table puts the least-used player first.
The session plan in large type, as read on the touchline.
Coaching › Playbook in the portal: sixty-four starter cards from day one. Sessions, the rota, fairness and the rules cards are the other tabs.
Questions
- Do I need the portal?
- Not on a match day. The app has the team sheet, the register, the note for the day and the minutes. The portal is for the things that need a keyboard: the playbook, the season, the squad list.
- Who sees the team sheet?
- Every family on the team, the moment it is published. Standbys see they are standby; the order is not shown to other families.
- What about a child who can't play?
- A stand-down keeps a child off the sheet until the date on it, with a reason only the club's officers see. The parent sees the date and nothing more.
- Do I have to count minutes?
- No. Selected players default to the full game and you change the exceptions. Rules cards set the maximum per game and per day for the age group.
- Is my DBS or PVG stored?
- The check's type and its renewal date are, so the club is told at 60 and 30 days. The certificate itself is never uploaded.
