Athletics academy software for event groups and measured progress
An athletics academy is several sports in one: sprinters, middle-distance runners, jumpers and throwers, each with their own coach and their own part of the ground. Progress is measured in seconds and centimetres. Playnent groups athletes by event, schedules the ground, and keeps assessments and promotions on each athlete’s record.
What gets in the way at a athletics academy
Event groups on one ground
Sprints on the straight, jumps in the pit, throws in the far corner, all at 6 a.m., all planned in a group chat.
Progress in a coach’s diary
Timings and distances are written down somewhere, but not where a parent or a new coach can see them.
Early-morning attendance
Athletes arrive at 5:45 in the dark and attendance is the last thing anyone thinks of.
How Playnent handles it
Batches by event
Run separate batches for sprints, distance, jumps and throws, each with its own coach and schedule.
Assessments on record
Record assessments against your own levels and criteria, and promote athletes with the history kept.
Attendance in seconds
The coach app marks the whole group quickly and works offline on an open ground.
Questions athletics academies ask
Can we record timings and distances?
Assessments record how an athlete did against the criteria you define for each level, with notes from the coach.
Can one athlete be in two event groups?
Yes. Enrol them in both batches.
Does the coach app work without internet?
Yes. Attendance is kept on the phone and sent when the connection returns.
