Every squad,
one screen.

Who this is for

A coach runs a squad. An RDO runs a club: Men's, Women's, Colts, Junior, and the four different people who each think their round is the one that matters.

The cross-squad view sits on the Programme plan, because it is the plan built for running every squad at once. If you are on Coach and thinking about the rest of the club, the pricing page has the comparison.

The Command Centre

One screen, every squad in the club, for the round you are looking at. Each squad shows the fixture, how many players have answered, how many are available, and whether a side has been named.

It is deliberately not a dashboard of everything. It answers one question: is anybody going to be short on Saturday, and if so, who.

Reading the readiness matrix

The matrix is squads down the side and the round across the top. Each cell carries the state of that squad for that week.

• Response rate. How much of the squad has actually answered. Low numbers on a Thursday are the early warning.
• Availability. How many said yes, against the size of the squad they need to field.
• Selection. Whether the side is named.

Read across a row and you see one squad's season. Read down a column and you see the club's Saturday.

Where to look first

Two numbers do most of the work.

Squads with a low response rate late in the week. That is a manager problem, not a player problem, and it is usually fixed by one message to one person.

Squads with fewer available players than they need on the field. That is a fixture problem, and the earlier you see it the more options you have: pull cover from another squad, or make a call to the opposition on Thursday rather than Saturday morning.

Getting into a squad

Click any squad from the Command Centre and you are inside it, looking at exactly what its coach sees: the availability grid, the selection board, the roster.

You can act there, and anything you change is recorded against your name like any other override. Coaches see that it was you, which is better for everybody than an unexplained change.

Reporting and exports

Anything you can see, you can take away as a file: response rates by squad, availability across the round, selections, attendance across the season.

That is what turns Thursday's screen into the report for the board, the union or the AGM, without anybody rebuilding it in a spreadsheet.

Setting a club up

Same shape as a single squad, done once for all of them.

• Set up the club, its logo and its slug in Club Settings.
• Add every squad, and the teams each one fields.
• Load the whole roster in one go. Send us the spreadsheet and we will do it.
• Add the coach or manager for each squad. There is no per-person charge, so add everybody who actually needs it.

From there each squad runs its own week and you watch the round.

Unions and academies

If you are looking after several clubs rather than several squads, talk to us. The shape is the same, the setup is not, and we would rather build it with you than have you fight the club structure. Email hello@armtech.app.

What an RDO cannot see

Coach notes stay coach only. That is not a setting, it is how the app works, and it is deliberate: a coach who thinks their notes might be read stops writing anything honest in them.

Good habits

• Look on Wednesday, not Friday. Everything is fixable on Wednesday.
• Chase managers about response rates and coaches about selections. They are different problems.
• Export once a month rather than rebuilding a report at the end of the season.
• Cover between squads is easiest to arrange before either side is named.
