Player availability for training and matches: end the group-chat guesswork

Every coach and team manager knows the Thursday-night ritual: firing messages into a group chat, counting thumbs-up emojis, and still turning up on Saturday not quite sure who's playing.

Availability chaos costs clubs real things — forfeited games, lopsided training numbers, and volunteers burning hours on admin that should take minutes. The answer isn't another spreadsheet or a louder group chat. It's collecting availability properly, in one place, tied to your actual squad list.

Collect availability in-app, every round

Instead of chasing replies, let members set their availability for upcoming training and matches directly in the app. Coaches open one screen and see exactly who's in, who's out, and who hasn't responded — no scrolling, no tallying.

Attendance and apologies without the clipboard

On the day, members sign in on their phone with GPS check-in or by scanning a QR code at the venue. Can't make it? A one-tap apology goes straight to the coach. Every session builds an in-app training history for each member, and the coach gets attendance and apology reports automatically.

• Members set weekly availability in-app
• GPS or QR check-in at training and matches
• One-tap apologies sent straight to the coach
• In-app training history for every member
• Attendance & apology reports for the coach

Pick and publish sides in minutes

Once you know who's available, selection is the easy part. A built-in selections platform lets captains and managers pick sides and publish them — with native in-app and email notifications so every player knows their team and where to be. No more notepad, no more “did you see the team list?”

Why it matters

When availability, attendance and selection all live in the same app as your member list, the admin disappears and the coaching comes back. Fewer forfeits, better-planned training, and volunteers who get their Thursday nights back.
