Schedule training and record attendance

The weekly workflow for managers and coaches using training plans, session updates and player attendance.

For Club admins and Managers and coaches
01

Create the session

Open Football, then Training. Choose the team, venue, date, start and finish time. Add a short focus so families know what players need.

02

Publish the update

Save the session so it appears in the club calendar and linked mobile accounts. Use the cancellation or change action when plans move rather than deleting the record.

03

Collect availability

Families respond through their linked account. Review available, unavailable and awaiting-reply counts before the session.

04

Mark attendance

At the session, open Attendance and record present, absent or excused for each player. Avoid marking everyone present by default.

05

Add the coach summary

Record the session focus and useful development notes. Keep sensitive welfare or medical information in its correct restricted workflow.

Good practice

Checks that prevent common mistakes

  • Publish cancellations as soon as possible so notifications can reach families.
  • Create reusable templates for regular training blocks.
  • Attendance quality improves academy reports and Training Champion awards.
