Ask anything — FA rules, heading restrictions, concussion protocol, formations, drills for quieter players.

Best 7v7 formation for pressing high?
For U10 7v7 pressing, a 2-3-1 works well — the three mids press as a unit and the lone striker triggers it. Keep instructions simple: "press when they play backwards".

Two portals, one app

Coach view.
Parent view.

Completely separate access — same app. Coaches run the team. Parents follow their child. No confusion, no privacy risk.

🏅 Coach Portal
Full Access
Everything a coach needs.

Sign in with your PIN. Add multiple coaches with role-based access — Head Coach, Assistant or Secretary.

  • AI training session planner
  • Fixtures, league table & results
  • Broadcast messages & polls

👨‍👩‍👦 Parent Portal
Your child only.
Their game. Your view.

PIN-only login — automatically signed in to their child. No player selection. No other family's data ever visible.

  • Live score synced from coach in real time
  • Upcoming fixtures & results
  • Messages from coach about their child
  • Team announcements & broadcasts
  • Availability polls — vote for their child
  • Anonymous team totals on polls only
  • Weather & pitch condition
  • Zero visibility of other players
🔒 GDPR by design: Each parent sees only their own child's data. Poll results show anonymous totals — no player names visible to parents. If two guardians from the same family both reply to a poll, only one vote counts automatically. All consent captured at login. Full Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions in-app.
