Why Squad Manager exists

Everything you need to run a better coaching week.

Created by the Wirral Under 12 coaching team, this is a fully functioning tool for sharing a clear picture of every player, rather than another spreadsheet, group chat or collection of notes.

Develop every player

Build a skill profile over time, record coaching notes and use it to guide each player’s next step, including position suggestions for younger players as they develop.

Plan training with evidence

Heatmaps show shared strengths and gaps across the squad, helping coaches plan small-group work and training sessions around what players need most.

Keep match day calm

Use confirmed availability to plan balanced teams, then generate a clear PDF handout with teams and positions before you get to the pitch.

Spond keeps the picture current

Spond availability and fixture details flow into Squad Manager, so the team sheet starts with the latest responses, not a manual roll call.

Attendance tells a bigger story

See turnout beyond match day, recognise commitment and spot when a training day or time may need a rethink because attendance is consistently low.

One shared coaching view

Every authorised coach can work from the same player records, assessments, availability and plans, with less last-minute organising.
