Players & Team selection The difference between ‘players’ and ‘team selection’ In Coach Amigo there’s one list with all your players at your disposal. Every newly created player is added to this list. We call this list ‘players‘. Within each team you determine which players from the ‘players’ list actually belong to the team selection of that particular team. We call this list ‘team selection‘. Important: a player can be placed in multiple team selections if you wish. Switching Switch between the full player list and the team selection list by pressing the two appropriate icons at the top of the screen. The number in parentheses indicates how many players the list contains. Select the player list: then press the shirt next to a player to add it to the team selection. The shirt will show the colors of your club. Select team selection: now you can indicate which players are captain and goalkeeper. By pressing the black buttons you can determine the players’ shirt numbers. Select the players list: a red plus will now be visible at the bottom of the screen. Press it to add a new player. Tap the portrait icon to assign a photo to a player. Add a new player Press the red plus to create a player. The (nick)name is the name used in the overviews and on the competition field. Also assign one or more preferred position(s) for a player. Coach Amigo takes this into account when it automatically creates different formations. You can add a photo to a player. To do this, press the portrait icon. The photo is always visible to you, but not necessarily also to the public of the Livestreams. You can set the visibility of player photos at the Livestream options. Tip: You can start customizing a player by tapping on the player in the list. Archiving players Swipe the player info to the left and the archive button will appear To archive a player, swipe the player to the left. The archive button appears. When you archive a player, it helps to get a better overview in the player list. At the same time, the statistics of this player are preserved. Players who are archived will also be removed from the team roster. And will not be used when setting up new matches. When you have selected the archive, an overview of all archived players is shown. You can take two actions with an archived player: restore or delete it permanently.

The Livestream What settings are there for you Coach? The Livestream is one of the unique features of Coach Amigo. While you as a coach simply enter events and save them for later viewing, all fans can immediately enjoy a real live report of the match. They immediately sympathize with all the great actions and goals. It is entirely up to you: do you keep the Livestream closed or is the Livestream open to the fans? Open of closed?

These 3 icons indicate which Livestream settings you have chosen: show formation, show portraits and show substitutions. Where green indicates that you have enabled this and gray of course indicates that it is not shown on the Livestream.

Create and use periods Collect matches in a convenient way When you want to start a new season or play a tournament, it is practical and easy to collect these matches in ‘periods’. You use periods to keep a clear overview and to be able to consult statistics clearly. (When you start with a new team: make a fresh start and create a new team. Read more here.)

Activate the correct period and you will find the match again. Starting a new season? Update the team selection! Choose ‘players’. The team selection is still the same of course. But perhaps a player will be added in the new season or one will be left out. You can set this up properly here by creating players, adding them to the selection by pressing the shirt or removing them from the selection. Make sure you have selected the left button on at the top of the screen (players). Read more about players and your team selection here. “Under 15-3″ becomes “under 15-4” … If you don’t start with a completely new team, but the team number has changed: simply adjust it. Go to “team” and press the pencil at the top right. Now you can change the team number. Statistics more clear if you’re using periods For those who would like to be able to choose which statistics are shown in the various overviews, working with periods is a must. In the statistics menu, for example, you can select one or more periods. Super handy. Check this Coach! When you have created and activated a new period on device 1, this does not mean that it is automatically activated on device 2. So make sure that you also activate this new period on the other device. Then you should be all right. Of course, this also applies to those with whom you may have shared the team with (Premium? Read more about sharing your team here).

Setup substitution management before the match If you want to divide playing time (evenly), you can use Coach Amigo’s unique substitution management. It offers you a lot of structure, insight and convenience: Coach Amigo will also show you the planned substitutions during the match. Read on to learn all about the Coach Amigo substitution management principles. This way you can set up a balanced substitution schedule for your team before the match. The use of substitution management is optional: by default it is turned off and you apply subs by dragging players over each other during the match. Setup Substitution management Activate Substitution Management Choose number of Player Blocks If you want to organize the match with substitution management, you’ll have to set this up in advance. First enable the switch (it is disabled by default when you start with Coach Amigo). Then you choose the number of player blocks per match part. Player Blocks and Substitution moments Example with 2 player blocks per match part. This match consists of 3 parts, thus creating 6 player blocks. A player block indicates who is playing in a specific time slot. The first player block therefore contains the starting line-up. During the first substitution moment, the second player block is brought in. This results in one or more substitution(s). These substitution(s) are shown in a clear overview during the match. Player blocks setup Example with 3 player blocks (over 2 match parts / 2 halves) Example with 2 player blocks (over 3 match parts / 3 halves) An important choice is the number of player blocks that fit your substitution needs. It is up to you to decide how often you would like substitutions to take place and at what interval. Experiment when setting up a match to find out. Divide play time When setting up a match, divide your playing time among the players by allocating them playing time in player blocks (At ‘line-up’: click on a circle behind the player in the player block, this changes into a football). The gray number in the player information bar indicates how many minutes of play the player has already been awarded. Is the playing time distribution as wished? Then continue to ‘Formation’. Playing minutes are visible in the player info panel. Press a circle to assign or remove play time. Set up formation(s) After you have divided playing time, you can place each player block in the desired formation. In this way, each player block becomes a complete line-up: it includes which players are on the pitch and in which formation you like to see them play. Direct the players in the correct formation by going through the player blocks at the bottom of the screen one by one. Adjust the formation manually or by using the formation preset menu. You’re ready for the match! Read about substitution management during the match here.

Share the lineup let team and fans know the lineup After you have set up a match, your starting line-up is known. There are various apps available in the app stores for sharing the line-up (think of Lineup11 for example). But when you work with Coach Amigo, these types of apps are completely redundant: you share the starting line-up directly from Coach Amigo. Start sharing! Select the pitch type At the bottom of the screen you can easily switch between pitch types. When you have set the match to futsal you can also choose an indoor football field. Choose the type of field that you think fits: there is a 2D and several 3D options. Back numbers or photos Press the portrait icon to display player photos instead of back numbers. Pressing it again will switch back to shirt number display. Hide player names You can choose to hide the names of the players (only in 3D view). This gives more space for the photos or the shirts with back numbers. Check date and time At the bottom of the screen you can also see the date plus start time and below that the period and the match type. Have you scheduled the match correctly? To adjust this data, go back one screen and then press the pencil at the top right. Start sharing now! Is everything to your liking? Start sharing by pressing the share icon at the top right of the screen. Now you will get the options that your device has to share. You can also save the image locally to be able to use it on multiple media.

Managing the time (clock) during a match Start, pause, reset, fast forward & end time. Once you have started a game, there are many things happening on the pitch that you would like to keep up with in Coach Amigo. You can easily enter events and keep track of player substitutions, for example. But in addition, a match can also be paused or maybe you pressed start too soon, before the referee has blown her whistle. After reading this explainer you will be a master of time. And you also understand when a match is really over. Starting the match time Make sure you have set up the match correctly and then open the match using the red ‘start match’ button. The match is loaded and ready to start. In the time panel at the bottom of the screen you can press the green whistle when the referee starts the match. The match clock is now running. The panel will turn red to indicate that the match has started. When there is also a Livestream of the match, the public will also see that the clock is running. Ending and starting match halves/parts End of half/game part At the bottom right of the time panel is a green button with a whistle. Below it is indicated in text whether this button initiates the end of a half/part or the end of the game. When playing a match over several halves/parts, during every halve/part except the last one, the button will give you the option to end this active halve/part. Does the referee whistle? Then you press the button. Start next half/part of the game Time has stopped running. You can now make player substitutions, update or add events on the timeline. When the referee whistles again: press ‘continue match’! End match During the last halve/part of the match, the green button will indicate that you can end the match by pressing it (under the button it now reads ‘end of match’). After pressing this button, the ‘end of match’ screen will pop up. End: Close this match! In this screen, press ‘end match’ again to actually end the match and add the collected data to the statistics. Oops, made a mistake? You can choose to go back to the match (top left ‘back’). More time management options When you now press the clock, the panel will expand. A number of options will appear: restart, pause, adjust time and end halve/part (or match). Press on the small black line at the top of the panel and drag the panel to close it. You can also minimize the panel to create more workspace. When you now press the clock, the panel will expand. A number of options will appear: restart, pause, adjust time and end halve/part (or match). Press on the small black line at the top of the panel and drag the panel to close it. You can also minimize the panel to create more workspace. Adjust playing minute After choosing this option a bar with playing minutes will appear. Swipe the minutes bar to the playing minute you want to move the time to. Press the desired playing minute. The panel will close and the playing minute will be applied. Attention: do you opt for a playing minute back in time? Then all events that took place in the deleted minutes of the match will be removed from the timeline. Pausing the match Use this when the match is paused for some reason. There are several indicators that indicate that the time is paused. Press again to continue the time. Restart the match If you choose to restart the match, the match will be reset to the settings at the start of the match. All entered events will be cleared and no statistics will be added. You will be able to start the match again.

Substitution Management assistance during the match Have you enabled and set up substitution management for the match? Then Coach Amigo will show you all planned substitutions during the match. You will also receive handy notifications when it is time for the substitutions you’ve planned. The use of substitution management is optional: by default it is turned off and you apply subs by dragging players over each other during the match. Substitution management during the match Press the button and the substitutions will be implemented!

Substitution moment during the match During the match you will receive a signal when a subs moment is approaching. Coach Amigo will automatically lead you to the ‘substitutes’ menu where you can implement the next player block. The next player block can be recognized by the blue-red arrows. When the ‘Substitutions’ menu opens, the current playing minute is used as the moment at which you will implement the substitutions on the timeline. You can adjust this by pressing the clock. Make substitutions: the players are placed on the pitch! Subs moment during a break During the break you can implement the next player block. After implementation you will see the substitutions placed on the pitch. Everything is now ready for the next part of the match.

The moment of substitution during the break: implement the planned substitutions. The substitutions will not be visible on the timeline until the match is restarted.

Statistics You can view lots of different statistics. Not only of your players, but also of your team. The quickest way to view them is under “Team” and then “Statistics”. Select match types At the top of the statistics dashboard, there are 3 buttons that allow you to include or exclude the different match types in the calculated statistics over the selected period(s). You can make all combinations with league, cup and friendly matches. Select periods At the top right, press “select periods”. Now you can select one or more periods to base the statistics on. This selection can be changed again at any time. If you’ve only created one period, this button will not function. No statistics visible? If you haven’t assigned any players to your team selection yet, no statistics will be available for players. In this case, you’ll see a little lock. Read more about players and team selection here. If you want to see the statistics of all players, scroll down and click on “show all players” (under playtime and player statistics). First, a global overview In the statistics dashboard, you’ll immediately see some metrics showcased. The stars indicate the average team rating. The colour circle shows in relative proportion the number of matches won, drawn and lost. The percentage is based on the number of matches won in relation to the total number of matches played. Scroll down and you will see your team’s average number of goals for and against. And the recent match form: on the left the oldest and on the right the last match. In depth You can now dive deeper into statistics by choosing top scorers, assists, playing time, shots, defence, match events, player stats and ratings. Top scorers and assists are obvious. Playing time Here you get a clear insight into how much playing time players have had. By using the buttons at the top you can specify which match statuses are displayed in the overview: played, substitute, absent (reported), unknown (may have arisen in matches played in older versions). Switch between percentage display or in actual played minutes. In percentage view, the percentages are based on all possible playing minutes of the matches played by the team. You will also see the average playing time of your players in the line below. When a player has played a total of 155 minutes during 3 matches (of 90 minutes), the calculation becomes as follows: 155/270=57% played. This means the player has been a substitute 43% of the time. With actual playing minutes, the previous calculation is omitted and the actual minutes ‘played’ and ‘substitute’ are displayed in the bar behind the player. Absence is never shown as match status when displayed in minutes. Press “A” to rank the player list by name. When you press the clock, players will be ranked by playing time, with those with the most playing time being shown first. Match events At the top, you can instantly see the number of shots, goals, assists and it shows where the shots were placed. Scroll to see totals of type of goals and all match events. Players team statistics Here, a brief overview of some player stats is shown: number of appearances, number of cards, assists, goals and total playing minutes. Player reviews Press the player bar and you will open the statistics specifically for this player. All entries assigned to this player during matches can be viewed here in a clear overview. Team ratings The average rating over the total number of matches selected for your team. But also the average of all opponents you have rated. You can see in small text how many matches you entered a rating for. Player ratings Press individual player ratings to view the averages per player. You can also view each player’s specific attributes (Mentality, Physical, Technical skills and Tactical skills) press the player-bar and it will unfold.

Set up a new team You set up a new team when, for example, your team is not “under 13” anymore, but “under 15”. Or when you take on an extra/different team. A new team is a completely fresh start. Below we explain how to set it up in 3 easy steps. (If you continue to coach the same team, it is best to create a new period to accommodate the new season. Read more here) 3 easy steps Step 1 Create a new team Go to ‘team’ and then choose ‘Other teams’. Then press the red plus at the bottom right of the screen. Maximum 3 Free teams If there is no Premium team in your account, you can create up to 3 teams max. If you do have a Premium team in your account, you can create a maximum of 6 teams. Please do send an email to support when this applies to you. First choose the federation under which your team is active. Now type in the club name and choose from the range of clubs that the app will offer you. Enter the team number and, if necessary, the other information. Press the green checkmark to save the team. By pressing edit beneath the team shirt you can change the colors and patterns. When working on your mobile: activate this team now. The team will be activated immediately in the desktop app. Step 2 Add players to team selection Choose “players”. You will see that no players have been added to this team’s roster yet. You can now create players and add them to the squad by pressing the shirt. Of course you can also use existing players who are in your account. Add them by pressing the shirt behind their name. Make sure you have selected the left button on at the top of the screen (players). Read more about players and your team selection here. Step 3 Setup or import matches Import matches via a calendar link (NL only) Copy and paste the calendar link at ‘team’ and then ‘calendar link’ (at the top right of the screen you can paste the link by pressing the pencil (for now only the Dutch competition is supported)). Check whether the correct period is selected. Choose sync. Setup a match But you can also manually set up new matches. Here you can read more on how to do that. Transfer Premium subscription It’s possible that you purchased Premium for the team you coached in the previous season. You can switch Premium to another team in your account once a month. Go to settings, then to ‘purchases’. Now you can link a different team to each active Premium subscription or code. Press the button next to the shirt icon and choose from all the teams that your account owns. Can’t figure it out? Send an email to support. Clearly indicate from which team Premium should be removed from and which team you want it assigned to. Check this Coach! When you have created and activated a new period on device 1, this does not mean that it is automatically activated on device 2. So make sure that you also activate this new period on the other device. Then you should be all right. Of course, this also applies to those with whom you may have shared the team with (Premium? Read more about sharing your team here).

Get started with your club and Coach Amigo (or group of teams) Currently, Coach Amigo is developing “The Clubhouse,” the core platform that allows a club or group of teams to manage and analyze a small or large number of players, teams, and training selections. Until the launch of The Clubhouse, you can already get started as a club (or group of teams) with Coach Amigo (+ Trainer Amigo) and begin building statistics for players, teams and training sessions. All from a central hub. The club account The basic principle: working from a single account where all players, teams and training selections are created. Therefore we’ll refer to this account as the “club account.” From this club account, you can easily share teams and training selections with all relevant coaches, trainers, assistants and team managers. The teams need to be Premium to be shared with others. You can find out in our shop what discounts you can benefit from as a club or group of teams when you make multiple teams Premium at once. You can follow the steps below in Coach Amigo on your mobile or in the web-app (even easier). 1 Getting started with the club account You might already be using Coach Amigo and have one or more Premium teams in your account. You can choose to consider this account as your club account and create all future players, teams and training selections here. Of course, you can also start with a new account. Whatever your choice, once you are up and running, just ask us to increase the maximum number of teams you can create in your account. 2 Create the players Go to ‘players’ and start creating all the players, or add the new ones to your current player list. Press the red plus button to create a player. Later, you will assign the players to a team in the team selection. More about creating players: Learn more 3 Create the teams Go to ‘settings’ and select ‘your teams’. Can’t create enough teams? Let us know and contact us. Start creating a team by pressing the red plus button. Later, you will be able to share the team with coaches, assistants and team managers. More about creating teams: Learn more 4 Create team selections Activate a team on the dashboard or in ‘settings’ under ‘your teams’. Next, go to the players for this team and click on the shirt icon next to the name of each player who belongs in this team selection. The shirt icon will change to the club colors, indicating that this player is now part of the team selection and will be included in every new match setup. You can easily search for players using the search tool at the top of the screen, which is handy for long player lists. 5 Make the teams Premium Before you can share the team, make it Premium. Copy the Premium code and paste it under “team”. Scroll down and select “Apply Premium code”. You can read more about activating Premium codes here. More about activating Premium codes: Premium codes 6 Sharing teams After activating the Premium code, the team is ready to be shared: go to ‘team’ and select ‘share’. You will see that the (club) account is listed as the ‘owner’ of this team. Enter the email address of the coach, assistant or team manager you want to assign to this team. If you want the invitee to have extensive control over the team, assign them the role of “Manager” immediately after sending the invitation. The invitee will be able to create an account directly from the invitation email and start working with the shared team. If the invitee already has a Coach Amigo account, it is preferable to use the email address associated with that account. This way, they will receive a notification in the app to manage the team. Repeat the above steps for each team. Trainer Amigo: Create training selections To create and manage training selections, you can log into the mobile Trainer Amigo app using the club account. We are working on a web version of Trainer Amigo. Press on training selections (menu at the bottom: selection) for an overview of the selections available in your account. By pressing the red plus button, you create a new training selection. Activate it by pressing on it; the green checkmark will indicate that this training selection is active. Trainer Amigo: Sharing training selections Add players to the training selection Go to “players” and press the training icon next to a player’s name. The icon will change color, indicating that the player has been added to the selection. Sharing a training selection Every trainer using Trainer Amigo must have full access enabled for Trainer Amigo in their account. No problem, as when you use a club account, we offer extra Trainer Amigo full access (each Premium team grants one extra Trainer Amigo full access). This allows you to invite more trainers to work with a training selection and Trainer Amigo. Invite each trainer and let us know who they are, and we will automatically set this up for them. We are happy to help you get started. Want to know more about Coach Amigo for your club or group of teams? Send us an email message, and we’ll be happy to assist you!

Start a new season Are you starting with the same team or a new team? When you want to start a new season, the first question is: will you start with a new team (for example under11 instead of under9) or will you start a new season with the same team? When you start with a new team, you simply create one and continue with that. And if you continue to work with the same team, you can opt for simply creating a new period. Choose the route that applies to you below and discover how to approach it!

A gray cloud means that the match is only local and has not yet been synchronized with the servers. Periods It is practical and easy to collect matches in ‘periods’, such as a new season or a tournament. Thanks to the use of periods, you keep an overview and you can view statistics separately. Read more about periods here.

Sharing a team Working together is convenient and more fun When you have a Premium subscription with a team, you share this team with others. Those you invite will also be able to use all Premium features. By the way: they don’t pay for it: so you share a Premium team purchase with others. Start sharing Enter the email address of the coach or assistant you want to invite. Preferably you enter an e-mail address with which this person already has an account with Coach Amigo. In this way, this coach keeps all teams he can work with together in the same account. Is this person not yet known to Coach Amigo? Then he will simply create a personal account from your invitation. After you have invited a coach or assistant, the invitation will be visible in the sharing dashboard. Before the invitation is accepted, “waiting” will be displayed here as the current status. You can already change the role: from assistant (default) to manager. The person who is invited can accept via email. Or directly in the ‘Other teams’ menu. The team owner can change the role of the person being shared with at any time. Assistent or Manager Two different roles are available for those you share the team with. Only you, as the owner of the team, can adjust these roles. The role of “Assistant” is the role with the fewest possibilities. The assistant can adapt and play matches set up by you. The role of “Manager” is much more extensive: managing players and full control over the matches will be possible. During the match Do you have a Premium team? Then work together with others during a match! Do you have a Premium team? Then, during a match, multiple coaches can control the entry of match events. The Coach Amigo servers ensure that collaborating coaches remain synchronized with each other as quickly as possible. The synchronization time will take, depending on the quality of your internet connection, about ten to a few tens of seconds.

The Team Page Create a hub for your team A Premium Team will have access to the Team Page: a central place for your team with which you can keep players and fans (parents) informed about your team. They will find, for example, photos and updates you have posted, general team information and information about players and staff. But they can also go there to open the Livestream(s) of the current match and of played matches. And they will find out when the next training is. Statistics will also follow at a later stage. Set up on your desktop Setting up the Team Page is only possible on the Coach Amigo web app. You choose ‘Team’ in the menu and then ‘Team Page’. Make it visible You can make the page accessible by turning on the switch (Please note that our servers sometimes take some time to process the team page enabling or disabling.). Post a logo and a photo It is possible to post a photo that appears at the top of the page. Remember that a photo with the size 1024×512 pixels (wxh) gives the best result. You can also put a logo of your club or your team in place of the team shirt. For this, a square format (512×512 pixels) gives the best result. You can upload JPG or PNG files. Provide team information You can post general information about the team. You can also place links to other pages if you wish.

Organise cup matches or tournaments This is how you keep statistics neatly separated When your team is going to play a cup match or participate in a tournament, you can create matches and label them ‘cup’ or ‘friendly’. But there’s a nicer way to keep track of cup matches and tournaments. Below we explain how you can perfectly keep up with these kind of matches by using a new period for them. An additional advantage: in this way all data and statistics can be viewed completely separately. Step 1 Create a new period In the mobile app, go to matches and tap “Periods” in the top right of the screen. You can also call up the periods overview directly from the dashboard. Then press the settings icon at the bottom left of the screen (desktop: press the pencil). Now you can press the red plus at the bottom right. A new period is created. Enter a suitable name for this new period in which you want to accommodate the cup or tournament matches. Press the green check mark to save the period. Stop editing by pressing the settings icon (Mobile: bottom left – Desktop: top left). Activate the newly created period and confirm with the green check mark. Step 2 Matches Add matches manually You can now manually set up new matches (read more about this here), they will be placed in this period. When you use a calendar link for league and cup matches (NL only) you can manually move the cup matches to the newly created period. Check it Coach! When you have created a new period and activated it on device 1, it will not be automatically activated on device 2. You will also have this newly created period activated on device 2. Of course, this also applies to those you’ve shared the team with. (Premium team? Read more about sharing your team here).

Purchase and activate Premium codes You can purchase Premium codes through our Coach Amigo shop. For one or more teams. After activation, they make a team Premium and you can therefore enjoy all the features that Coach Amigo has to offer, including Trainer Amigo. A Premium code is a one-time purchase, so unlike a subscription there is no recurring payment. Where to find your Premium code? You can buy a Premium code in our Coach Amigo shop. The code(s) will be sent to you by email after purchase. In addition, you will be able to find the purchased Premium code(s) in your shop account on the Coach Amigo shop website (note: this is a specific Coach Amigo shop account and not the same as your Coach Amigo account that you use in the application). But it is also possible that, for example, someone from the club has sent you a Premium code for use with your team. Apply a code When you have a Premium code, go to ‘Apply Premium code’. You can find this option at the bottom of the ‘team’ menu page. Android coaches can apply their Premium code only in the web app. Visit this page in the web app. Check it Paste or type the code in the field provided and then press ‘check code’. Now Coach Amigo will check whether the entered code is valid (a code can only be activated once). Activate Is the code valid (green check mark visible)? Then you will be able to activate the code.

Set custom start date You can have the Premium code start whenever you want. For example, right after a previous Premium code or a subscription will expire (make sure you cancel a subscription yourself in the App Store or Play Store). Apple & Google Play Stores or the Coach Amigo shop: make your team(s) Premium … Apple & Google Play Subscriptions Recurring payments Stops on cancellation Make one team Premium Buy for yourself Coach Amigo shop Premium codes Single payment Stops automatically Possible with multiple teams Buying for yourself and/or someone else Set your own start date Progressive discounts The Premium codes are only available in our own Coach Amigo shop.

A subscription for a second, third or fourth Premium team is not possible via the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store. You will then always have to purchase a Premium code.

Attendance request center Ask players to report their attendance status In each match you will find the list of players on which you can indicate the attendance status of players (match attendance). If you have a Premium team, you can also use the handy tool to ask players to indicate their presence status themselves. You send them an email or a whatsapp (or via any other social) and the players can respond without needing an account. That makes the Attendance Request tool very accessible to work with, for players, team manager and coach. Let’s get going Go to ‘match attendance’ at a match. At the top of the list you will see the Attendance request tool: press the switch and the tool will be activated. Quick overview in the panel You immediately see how many players have responded and how many didn’t. Press the blue button to open the tool. Set end time and date By default, the reaction option is closed 24 hours before the start of the match. After this point, players will no longer be able to report status changes. If you want to set a different time, you can choose from “number of hours before the start of the match” or “a specific date + time”. You can switch between these different options with the buttons below the time slot. Press the blue time box to set the end time as you wish (confirm with the green check mark). By pressing ‘close now’, the tool is immediately closed for players and they can no longer indicate changes to their status. Add a message On the attendance status pages you have the option to add a message. Note: this is a message that will be displayed on both the collected team statuses page and the personalized pages. Send player(s) an email Press ’email’ and you will get the option to ask players for status updates by using e-mail. Of course you can only send e-mails to players if you’ve entered a valid e-mail address at the players’ details page. You can check a preview before sending. In the first panel you can send an email to all players simultaneously. All players will receive a personalized email with a link to their personalized attendance status page. When you press ‘confirm’ in the pop-up, the e-mails will be sent immediately. In the overview of players you will see that the e-mail icon behind their name turns green for all or some players. This indicates that an email has been sent to them. The number in parentheses indicates how many emails you have sent to this player. You can also send an e-mail to a specific player: press the e-mail icon on the right side of the panel of the relevant player. At the top left of the portrait of the players you can see if they have already responded and communicated their status. If there is a gray question mark, then nothing has been heard from this player yet. Personalized email for a player The email players receive contains a link to their unique attendance status page. As long as they do not share this link with others, it can only be visited by themselves. On this page, the player can continue to submit status changes until the end time has expired (closed). Share a link with player(s). In the first panel you can share a status page with all players. This page allows players to adjust their attendance status. Please note, this is a collection page on which all statuses of all players can be found and adjusted. You can click on ‘view web page’ at the top right to visit the page directly. In the list of players you’ll see a share button on the right side of each players’ panel. This allows you to share the personalized attendance status page with the relevant player. If you want to personally ask a player to report his status, choose this. Share anywhere You can share a attendance status page on any social media. Choose from the share options on your phone or simply copy the link and post it in a message. A big advantage is that players don’t need an account with Coach Amigo, so easy does it! Process status updates Pop-up only shows the players with different statuses compared to current statuses. When a player has communicated his status, you will see this in a pop-up when you open the match attendance screen. The pop-up only shows the players with different statuses compared to their current statuses. You can choose to immediately implement the indicated statuses. When a player is placed on not present, you will no longer see him in the line-up and formation of this match. Status changes immediately visible If you prefer, you can ignore the pop-up and manually review and implement the players’ status updates. You can immediately see when a player has indicated a different status thanks to the changed background color of the player panel. Also, the icon that can be seen at the top left of the player’s portrait indicates thee attendance status provided by the player. A red background indicates that the player is ‘absent’, a green background indicates ‘present’. You keep control Player status updates are never automatically applied to match attendance. This way you always remain aware of changes and any adjustments you will have to make in the line-up and formation. Also note the little green panel at the bottom left of the match attendance screen. It indicates how many players you now have available (present) for the match. It gives you a quick insight into whether you might need to look for extra players for this match. Do you want to update all data of a player (or multiple players)? Player information, photo, but also their attendance status? Then retrieve the latest data from your players.

Trainer Amigo Super easy attendance & ratings tracking Trainer Amigo is a free download from the App Store and Play Store. Log in with your Coach Amigo credentials and get started! You will find all your players in Trainer Amigo, but no teams: Trainer Amigo works with its own training selections. If you have a Coach Amigo Premium team subscription in your account, you can start managing and tracking training sessions directly. Two apps, seamless cooperation Owners of a Premium team in Coach Amigo (not those with whom a team is shared) can use Trainer Amigo for free, as one of the benefits of a Premium team subscription. Coaches with a free team or trainers who only want to use Trainer Amigo can separately purchase full access to all features of Trainer Amigo for only €9.99 per year. This way they can also manage training selections or be shared with a training selection, without having purchased a Premium team themselves. First setup When you first enter the training sessions module, you’ll have to start with the initial setup. This means: composing a training selection and giving it a name. In the “Training Selection” screen you choose which players from your complete player list are part of this. For the sake of convenience, the app has selected the players that also belong to the squad of the currently activated team. You can add or remove players from the squad by pressing the icon.  First training session Press the red plus to create a training session Date & time After the initial setup you will see a red plus at the bottom right of the screen. With this you start setting up a training session. The first screen displays the date and time. Adjust this to your liking. Register attendance Press next (bottom right, green arrow) and you will arrive at the attendence screen. You have the option to set players on absent. In addition, you can indicate whether they are injured or whether they have not signed off with you. Remove a player from training If a player will not be part of the training for any other reason, you can remove them from this training (only for this training!). To do this, swipe left on the player and press remove. Ratings You can assign ratings during or after the training. To do this, press the star in the bottom menu. The fastest way is to directly press the stars right next to the player’s name. If you press a star several times, you will discover that it is also possible to assign half stars: when you press a star, it changes from 1 star, to half a star, until eventually no star. Ratings on multiple attributes You can fine-tune your rating by pressing the arrow on the right of the player bar. Flip the switch to enable the advanced ratings. Now you can start to value on 4 attributes: mentality, physical, technical skills and tactical skills. Press the star on the most left a number of times to turn off rating for an attribute. No stars given? Then this attribute is not included in the statistics. You can give a rating on 1 or more of the 4 different attributes. Next to the player (golden stars) you see the average of this training. All this data is saved to be shown in the overall statistics. AI: Expected training sessions When you have created a training session, the app will also offer an expected next training session. Training sessions will often take place on fixed days, so you can quickly create a next one with the same specifications. But you can always create a new session by pressing the red plus, with specifications to your liking. Statistics At the top of the screen you will find the button “Statistics”. Here all collected data from the training sessions is clearly presented. Use the filters on the right to sort by alphabet, rating or attendance. The injury button ensures that absence due to injury is not included (grey) or is included (blue). At the top of the screen you will find the average attendance percentage of your selection. In the green dot you can see the number of training sessions where the player was present. The red dot shows the number of times a player has not signed off from a training session. More training selections Press “Training Selections” (menu at the bottom: “Selection”) for an overview of the selections available in your account. By pressing the red plus, you create a new training selection. You then activate it by pressing it, and the green checkmark will indicate that this training selection is activated. You can delete a training selection by editing it. Press the pencil icon at the top right of the screen. Then press the red trash can at the bottom of the screen. Share a training selection Press “share your training selection”. Enter the email address of the trainer with whom you want to share the selection. Preferably, use the email address they have associated with their Coach Amigo account. After acceptance, you will see in this screen that the sharing was successful.
