Rugby
The rugby club, from the call-up to the match report
A rugby season is twenty call-ups, forty training sessions, injuries that come and go, and a team manager writing the score in a soaked notebook. Squadra holds all of it, and each person sees only their part.
Call up the 23 without a chain of messages
The coach calls up from their phone and the notice is there for every player the moment they open the app. Whoever can’t make it says so there, with a reason, so by Friday night you know who you have.
- Call-ups by category: the Senior side doesn’t see the Colts’
- Anyone declining leaves a reason, and the staff decides if it’s excused
- The available list reads at a glance, no counting messages
- Automatic reminder the day before, for whoever forgot to answer
- Subscribable calendar: training lands in everyone’s phone
Pre-season goes in once, not forty times
Tuesdays and Thursdays from October to May go in as one series. If the pitch floods and Thursday has to move, you choose whether you’re changing that day, that one and the ones after, or the whole season. Nobody has to be told twice, and nobody turns up at a session that was called off.
- Changing date, time or venue re-notifies everyone called up, with no messages to write
- Cancelling one session doesn’t delete the series or upset the rest
- The phone calendar gets subscribed once and then left alone
- The feed carries the fixture, not the team notes: what is private stays in the app
- Everyone only sees the events they’ve actually been called up to
The match, while it’s being played
The team manager keeps the score from the touchline with rugby events, not a generic counter. Supporters see the result live without seeing a single player detail.
- Try 5, conversion 2, penalty 3 and drop goal 3, each with its points
- Yellow and red cards, which don’t touch the score but do go on the report
- Tackles, carries and turnovers, for whoever wants the fine detail
- Period clock that survives a page reload
- Supporters see the score; names and line-ups stay inside
The clock runs on the server, not on your battery
On a pitch with two bars of signal and a phone at twelve per cent, the one thing that can’t happen is losing the match record. The clock is counted by the database: reload the page, close the app or take a call, and the minute is still where it was.
- A try logged with no signal queues up and lands when the signal comes back
- Two people can log at once: every action is a row, not a counter
- Starting or stopping the clock twice in a row doesn’t throw the minute off
- A finished match locks, and correcting anything means reopening it on purpose
The match report starts at the call-up
The match isn’t built from scratch: it comes out of the call-up, and the line-up arrives already filled in with whoever confirmed, each with the shirt number and position from their profile.
- Anyone who said no doesn’t turn up in the line-up
- If two people edit it at once, the app says so instead of overwriting
- Each player’s points feed the club’s scorers table
- Creating the match twice doesn’t create two matches
A prop doesn’t train like a winger
All fifteen rugby positions are in the app, from loosehead prop to full-back. Routines are assigned by team, by category or to one person, and tests are compared against the benchmark for their position, not the club average.
- Routines with sets, RPE, tempo and percentage of max
- Weights worked out from each player’s one-rep max, rounded to the 2.5 plate
- Supersets A1/A2 and sessions that repeat week to week
- Bronco, Yo-Yo, CMJ, sprints, and whatever tests your S&C coach invents
- Players see their own progress; other people’s marks aren’t theirs
Everyone sees their own part, and the database decides it
Whoever coaches the Colts doesn’t see the Senior side. A supporter sees the score and the next fixtures, and nothing else. And the president runs the club without opening anyone’s medical record or training plan. None of that is a setting somebody has to remember to switch on.
- Permissions are granted per person, category and role, not in bulk
- Twenty-one capabilities, handed out and taken back one at a time
- The same person can coach in one category and play in another
- Nobody can grant themselves something they haven’t been given
- The filter sits in the database, not on the screen: there’s no way round it
