A coaching tool your volunteers will use, a pathway that keeps children at the club from U7 to U18 and beyond, and a share of every parent subscription back to you.
Two apps, one record. One for the people coaching, one for the family at home.
Sixteen skills a year, three depths each, tapped on a phone at training. No laptop, no admin evening.
One record from their first session to their last. Each age group builds on the one before, so a child always knows what they are working towards next.
Parents subscribe to see their own child. A share of it comes back to the club — and you can sell sponsor space in the adult app on top.
Three things every club knows
Keeping players is the hard part. Most clubs lose them somewhere between the fun years and the serious ones.
A child can improve all season, and nobody can show it.
Everyone says development matters more than winning. Very few can prove it.
All three come down to one thing: the progress is invisible. This makes it visible and meaningful — to the child, to the parent, and to the club.
How it works
Sixteen skills a year for each age group. Three tiers each — in a drill, in a game, under pressure. Tapped on a phone at training, in seconds.
Their level this season, their rank across the years, and badges they claim for themselves.
Everything the coach records, the parent can see — and be part of the journey. Shared with the child when they are old enough.
What it means for the club
A full U8 group is easy. A full U15 group is the challenge. Children leave when the sport stops telling them they are progressing — and the ones who leave are lost forever.
This gives every child a record that only ever grows, and gives you something to show a parent who is wondering whether it is worth the early Sunday mornings and the late mid-week evenings.
Parents subscribe to see their own child’s record, and a share of every subscription comes back to the club.
A club that recruits well and keeps its players earns from this, rather than simply paying for it.
The coach’s app
Bronze in a drill. Silver in a game. Gold under pressure. Tap once to step a skill up, again to cycle it back if you were generous.
The coaching points sit under every skill, in your club's own words — so a parent volunteer covering a session knows what they are looking for.
A coach sees only their own age groups, and the badges a child claims stay private.
The parent and player app
The player’s path, showing them where they are at, and where they are going.
The coach can set one target. The child sets their own — and the two sit side by side, because a child who chooses is a child who turns up.
Have fun
Nobody awards these. The child taps one when it happens — I scored, I never gave up, I thanked the referee — once a week each, counted across the season.
A coach never sees which a child has claimed. That is the point: a badge nobody is marking is a badge worth being honest about.
Three groups, and only one of them is about rugby: in the game, how I played, how I behaved.
And there are games to play — quick ones, on their own screen, for the evenings between sessions.
Your ethos, on every screen
Your club's words, not ours — change them and they change everywhere.
No child is ever compared to a team-mate.
Never taken away, whatever kind of season they have had.
A skill left unfinished can be completed years later.
Especially the ones who aren't winning. That is the point.
What the club gets
How it works for the club
Sponsors sit in three places on a page — top, middle and bottom — in the coach app and the parent app. A logo or a name, linking to them if you like. Never on a child’s own account.
Some clubs would rather cover the cost for their families than ask them to subscribe. If that is you, say so and we will price it that way.
