New for players: your own goal, absences with a reason and badges on your dashboard
Koach is built for coaches — but a team app only comes alive when your players get something out of it too. So players just gained a whole set of new abilities in one go: setting their own goal, reporting absent with a reason, signing up straight from the dashboard and a celebration for every new badge.
Your own goal — truly yours
The personal goal on your player profile (“keep reception above 60%”, “earn a regular starting spot”) used to be something your coach filled in. From now on you set it yourself and adjust it whenever you like: open your own profile via the Team tab and tap your goal. Your coach sees it too — so you're both working on the same thing.
Signing up and off without hassle
Under Next up your dashboard shows the next practice, and it now has the I'm in and Can't make it buttons right on it. Signing up or reporting absent literally takes one tap, without clicking through first. Tap Can't make it and the app straight away asks “Why can't you make it?”: add a reason (“work”, “injured”) your coach sees with the practice, or skip it. No more separate messages needed.
The next match is on your dashboard too, with a tick and a cross. If there's no practice left on the schedule, the match itself gets the big buttons, with I'll watch added for when you come along but don't play. Drop out and the app asks “Why can't you make it?” here as well, with a field you're free to skip. Everything about it is in signing up for the match.
And if your team runs a driving rota? Then a Ride block with your next drive and the label You drive appears on your dashboard as soon as you're down for one — including how many seats your car has.
New badge? That calls for a celebration
Earn a new badge for your trophy cabinet and a card now appears on your dashboard, under Your season. One tap opens your trophy cabinet with the celebration — instead of the badge quietly waiting for you three screens deep.
A warm welcome for new players
Accept your coach's invite and you land straight on your own dashboard: your next practice with the sign-up buttons, and under Your season and Your stats your attendance and your points. And if the connection doesn't work first time, you see exactly what to do instead of an empty screen.
Privacy remains the starting point: players only see their own stats and profile. Teammates' numbers are and remain visible to coaches only.
Frequently asked questions
Can I adjust my own goal as a player?
Yes. Open your own profile via the Team tab and tap your personal goal to set or change it. Your coach sees the same goal.
How do I report absent for a practice?
Straight from your dashboard at the next practice (Can't make it), or in the practice detail. When reporting absent you can add a reason your coach sees with the practice.
Can I drop out of a match as well?
Yes. You sign up or drop out at the next match on your dashboard, and the app asks for a reason when you drop out — which you're free to skip. Tapping the same button again withdraws your answer.
Can players see their teammates' statistics?
No. Players only see their own profile and numbers; team statistics and player comparisons are visible to coaches only.
