Built In-House

The Software Behind Our Academy

A platform we built ourselves to run sessions, track development and keep coaches, players and parents on the same page.

Why We Built It

One System, Not a Binder Full of Spreadsheets

Running a growing academy on paper sign in sheets and personal notes does not scale. Coaches were tracking development their own way, and parents had no clear window into how their player was progressing.

So we built our own platform. One place for sessions, attendance, assessments and notes, built around how our coaches actually work.

Before
  • Attendance tracked on paper or scattered spreadsheets
  • Assessments that looked different from coach to coach
  • Parents left guessing how their player is developing
After
  • Attendance logged in seconds, from any session
  • One scoring system, used the same way across every coach
  • Players and parents see progress as it happens
What It Does

Everything Our
Coaches Need

01
Scheduling

Sessions & Attendance

Coaches build recurring or one off sessions with a location, then mark attendance in a couple of taps instead of a sign in sheet.

02
Development

Player Assessments

Every session, coaches score players on technical, physical, tactical and mental fundamentals, building a real record of growth over time.

03
Feedback

Coach Notes

Coaches log observations after every session and choose which notes are visible to the player and family, keeping feedback honest and useful.

04
Progress

Development Milestones

Key achievements are logged against each player, so progress is a timeline rather than a memory a coach has to keep in their head.

05
Access

Role Based Portals

Admins, coaches, players and parents each see a portal built for what they actually need to do, nothing more, nothing less.

06
Structure

Multi Program Support

One platform runs every team, age group and program at the club, with coaches assigned exactly where they coach.
