Your attendance log becomes digital

Your attendance log becomes digital

Summary
With YouCoachApp you can quickly and easily register your players' attendance to each soccer practice.
It all started with a table drawn on a sheet of paper, then it became an Excel spreadsheet shared with your staff. 
It was printed at the beginning of the month, filled in on the pitch, scribbling it for last minute corrections. Before handling it to the secretary of the Club, it needed to be redone, perhaps typed on a PC and then sent via e-mail.
 
The match will be played by players who participate in training sessions and are commited to the team”… How many times did you hear these words? And how many times did you say them to your players?
For younger soccer players, practices attendance is relevant to evaluate the level of interest in this sport, and it is even an opportunity to meet the parents; for older soccer players, attendance is relevant to decide which players are going to play from the first minute of the game, and it is important to evaluate players' engagement during sports season.
 
Attendance log is a commonly used document at every soccer practice. With YouCoachApp, it finally becomes digital!
No more scribbles, no risk to forget it at home, no more scattered sheets on the desk or in the car: with YouCoachApp's attendance log, every coach has the opportunity to log players' attendance, collecting data about their attendance and training time.
 
How does YouCoachApp's attendance log work?
  • RECORD PLAYERS ATTENDANCE
During the creation of a new training session, click on “Attending players”: check only the players that are going to participate to the practice. Then, click on “Done”.
When creating a training session, remember to select the date and click on “Ok”: this is necessary to keep statistics updated.
 
 
After the training session has been done, go to "Training sessions - Show all sessions", select that specific practice and click on the "Attendance" tab to update attendance log with any possible absence. A hand next to the name of a player means that the athlete is not available.

  • CHECK ATTENDANCE
From the menu "Training Sessions", click on "Sessions Attendance" to have an overview; at page bottom on "Individual Attendance" tab, click on "Export as PDF" to save a copy on your device.
 
 
 
 
 
You can click on "Dashboard" and then "Training Statistics" to check aggregated stats about the training sessions of the whole season: the total number of practices attended by each player is shown as an absolute number and a percentage of the total of practices done during the season.
