What does a player see in Koach? The player account explained

Your coach runs the team in Koach — and you get your own login as a player. But what's actually in it for you? This is the full tour of the Koach player account: what you see on every screen, what you manage yourself and what stays private. Coaches reading along: this is exactly what your players will be getting.

How do you get a player account in Koach?

A player account always starts with your coach: they create a personal invite for each player. You receive a link — valid for 30 days, usable once — and use it to create a new account or connect your existing Koach login. From that moment your login is tied to your player profile, with everything already in it. The step-by-step guide is in accepting your invite as a player; how your coach sends those invites is covered in inviting players. And the cost? Zero: player accounts are free — the subscription runs through the coach or the club.

One account can also be connected to multiple teams — and roles can mix: coach of one team, player on another. It even works within a single team, via the playing coach.

Coach, still on the fence about rolling out player accounts? In practice, players who see their own numbers and badges show up more often — see improving practice attendance — and you're rid of the attendance puzzle in the group chat. It's one of the things you pick a volleyball app for; no team in the app yet, then begin with getting started with Koach.

What do you see on your dashboard and in the team calendar?

After logging in you land on My overview: your attendance percentage for this season and your points, broken down into attack, block and serve. No wall of numbers — just the two things you control as a player: showing up, and scoring.

Under Team you'll find the roster with names, jersey numbers and positions — you see the list, but only your own profile opens. The Calendar shows the full team schedule: practices, matches and other events. Want all of that in your phone's calendar automatically? Your coach can share a calendar feed you subscribe to — how that works is in the team calendar on your phone.

How do you report your attendance?

The Training tab shows the calendar and, per practice, the focus of the evening and the program: the training blocks with name, duration and description. So you know in advance what's on the menu.

More importantly: you sign yourself up or out. For every upcoming practice you set a green ✓ (I'll be there) or a red ✗ (I won't) next to your own name, and the Sign up for all practices button marks you present for every upcoming practice in one go. Signing out is possible up to the day of practice itself; only 'late' is recorded by the coach. The app works out your attendance percentage automatically: every time you were there (being late still counts as present) divided by all the practices you were registered for. All the details are in reporting your attendance as a player.

Which statistics, badges and goals do you see?

Your own player profile is the heart of the account. It holds your statistics — attack points, block points, service aces and your errors — plus your attendance history and your development across the season. Those numbers come straight from your coach's live scoring during matches; how to read them without driving yourself crazy is covered in understanding your own statistics and tracking your own growth.

On top of that you collect badges in bronze, silver and gold — from Iron Will (90%+ attendance) and On a Roll (three or more practices in a row) to MVP (5+ points in a single match) and Never Late. Your top three are highlighted on your profile, with rare badges — the ones few teammates have — carrying extra weight. And you see the personal goal your coach has set for you, so you know what you're working on this season.

For matches you can browse the overview with results and set scores, plus your own statistics per match — handy for the conversation on the ride home. See reviewing your match statistics.

What does a player NOT see in Koach?

Just as important as what you see: what you don't. Coaching notes are visible to coaches only — never to players. You don't see your teammates' detailed statistics or ratings either: only your own numbers; teammates appear with name, number and position. Effort ratings (the stars) are given by the coach alone. And you can't break anything by accident: you don't set anyone else's attendance, change lineups, score matches live or touch team settings. How Koach handles data more broadly is in privacy and data; for youth teams — where parent and child share the account — there's Koach for parents.

What you do manage yourself lives under your profile and settings: name, password, language (Dutch or English), phone number and emergency contact — see managing your own details. Leaving the team? You can leave it yourself; your statistics and history simply stay with the team.
