For coaches

Walk into every lesson
already knowing the week.

When a family connects you, your console shows their athlete's real week before you step on court, and what you write about the hour lands in the family's record. Five rooms: Today, Lessons, Matches, Plan, Brief. Free, in the browser, with a coach mode in the app for courtside. Coach access is a relationship, not a paid feature.

Today: the day's sheet from your own calendar

Paste your calendar's link (Google Calendar's secret address, or your club's CourtReserve calendar feed) or upload an exported calendar file, and Today lists the day's lessons in order. An event that names an athlete shows their three-line brief: what happened since last time, how they are, and what is open. If an event names nobody, pick who it is with and the brief appears; the pick is never stored. The weekend board shows where your players are playing and, on Monday, how it went. When a family turns on the live score area, the score moves on your screen while they track the match.

The Today room: the day's lessons from the coach's calendar, each with the athlete's three-line brief: since last time, how they are, what is open

On the way to the court, you know what you did last time, what they did since, and what to work on today.

Lessons: thirty seconds, and the parents get a note

Log the lesson on the console or on your phone: the minutes, the focus, the drills you used from your own library (a starter set ships with it), a rating on the athlete's own 1 to 5 scale, a line for the family, and one to three pieces of homework. The parents get the note by email, written from what you logged. The athlete ticks the homework off on Today and it counts as training. Once the family acknowledges the lesson it is a verified session in their week, with your name on it. Your next brief says whether the homework happened and how it felt.

An athlete's Lessons tab: a logged lesson with minutes, focus, drills, rating, the line for the family, and homework the athlete ticked off

Thirty seconds to log a lesson, and the parents get a note. Your next brief says whether the homework happened.

Matches: the match you missed, in points

When the family tracks a match from the fence, you get the read-back: the big points, what happened after an error, serve and return, and where it turned. Write three lines on it and they land on the family's Today as your read. The Proof shows singles across the months, and with the analytics area shared you get the same explorer the family has: every tracked point, filterable by situation, shot, return wing and rally length.

The explorer broken down by return wing: forehand returns earning clean, backhand returns leaking

You see the match you missed, in points, and tell the family what you saw.

Plan: four areas, every line with evidence

Technical, tactical, physical and mental: one line per area on where the athlete is, and each line rests on a lesson, a match or a week of training you pick from the record. Goals sit under their area, and the mental area reads the athlete's own Pathway. The season sits beside it: propose a tournament, a training block or rest, and nothing is real until the family accepts it.

The Plan tab: the technical and tactical lines for the month, each resting on a lesson and a week of training, with the goals under each area

The season is laid out with the family, and you propose the events.

Brief: a page for the parents, with the evidence on it

Compose it from the record for any period: lessons and hours, homework done, matches and The Proof, goals reached, and your note. Publish it and the parents get it by email and on Today; the athlete's own login never sees it. A section the family has not shared says so instead of guessing.

The Brief tab: the brief composed from the record for the period, with the plan in four areas, lessons and homework, The Proof, the season and a line for the coach's note

Each quarter, the parents get a page with the evidence on it.

Your record, and your page

The Record shows lessons, hours, homework done and goals reached across your roster, twelve weeks of bars, one row per athlete, with CSV export. Your drills, your groups and your record are yours and leave with you. Turn on your public page and families see what they get when they connect, with your join link; it names no athlete, no count and no result.

The Record page: twelve weeks of bars and one row per athlete with lessons, hours, homework done and goals reached

Your record shows the lessons, hours, homework and goals across your roster.

Trust that protects you too

The structure is deliberately one-way and logged. Everything you write about an athlete is visible to their family, and every time you open an athlete's page the family can see that you did. There is no private channel between a coach and a child. The family chooses seven areas per athlete (training, matches, point analytics, mental progress, schedule, goals, and live score, which is off until they turn it on), and a young athlete's journal stays theirs unless they choose to share an entry. If a player works with more than one coach, each of you is in your own lane. And if something you write about a child matches our safeguarding list, the family is told and asked to check in, and nobody else is. That's not red tape; it's why parents let you in.

Start today, no invite needed

The console lives at coach.tierbreak.app. Create your coach account in a minute (your name, and optionally your club and town, which is what a parent recognizes), paste your calendar, and share your join link with families. Each family sets up their own account and chooses exactly what you can see; signing up gives you the ability to ask, never the access itself. Sign in to the TierBreak app with the same login for coach mode courtside. Nothing to pay.
