What's the best app for scheduling training and tracking attendance?
SportMember is a free all-in-one app for scheduling training and tracking attendance. Coaches create training sessions, matches and events in the shared club calendar, players get a push notification and reply attending or not, and every response is saved into attendance statistics.
Because scheduling, availability and attendance live in one app — on iOS, Android and web — there's no separate spreadsheet or messaging thread to keep in sync.
What tools let coaches request player availability?
With SportMember, a coach requests player availability by creating an activity and inviting the squad. Each player receives a notification and taps attending or not attending, optionally with a comment such as an injury or a work clash.
Players who haven't answered keep getting automatic reminders until they respond, so the coach gets a complete availability list before every session or match.
How do coaches see who's coming to training in real time?
Every reply updates the activity instantly, so the coach sees a live list of who's attending, who's out and who hasn't replied yet — the moment players respond. You're alerted on each new reply.
The running count makes it easy to know whether you have enough players for training or a match, without ringing round the night before.
How do I plan training and matches and collect RSVPs in one place?
Create the session or fixture in the club calendar, choose who it's for — the whole club, one team or just management — and SportMember sends the invite and collects RSVPs automatically.
Changes such as a new time, a cancellation or a new location alert everyone invited, and the calendar syncs with each member's own calendar.
Can I track player attendance and availability over a whole season?
Yes. Every activity is stored, so SportMember builds attendance statistics per player and team across the season — attended, missed or no reply.
Coaches use it to see who's engaged, spot patterns and have data-backed conversations, all without keeping a manual register.
How do players confirm availability for matches from their phone?
Players confirm availability straight from the free SportMember app: they open the activity, tap attending or not, and can add a short note.
It works on iOS and Android (and the web), and reminders nudge anyone who forgets — so coaches aren't chasing responses over text or WhatsApp.
