For coaches

Everything around the team in one place

Call-ups, attendance, squad selection and team information in the same app your players already use. If something is missing, we want to hear it — we build this close to the coaches who use it, so it helps in everyday life instead of becoming one more system.

The coach profile in the Breakout app

What coaches tell us

Three things keep coming up, and none of them is about football.

The evenings go on everything but the team

The call-up in a chat, attendance in a spreadsheet, the squad in a third message. It is not the work with the players that takes the time — it is everything around it.

Nobody quite knows what is happening on Sunday

The question about time and place arrives five times in four different threads. Whoever answered once gets to answer again, and somebody still misses it.

What you know about a player stays with you

You know who has taken a step, who needs something different, and who is on their way somewhere. When you stop, that knowledge walks out with you.

Step by step

How you work in Breakout

Four steps from an empty team to a season that runs itself.

1

Create your team

You set up the team with a name, a picture and a description. If you have assistant coaches, they can be given the same rights as you.

2

Invite players and parents

You search for the player or parent and send an invitation. For children without their own account you can add a placeholder, so the squad list is complete anyway.

3

Set up the season

Training sessions and matches in the team calendar. Players respond to the call-up and give a reason when they cannot make it — ill, injured or other — so you know where you stand before you set off.

4

Pick the squad and keep the thread

Squad selection for the match, and a chat attached to that specific event so questions about Sunday's game don't drown in a general group chat.

Available today

The tools you have in the app

Calendar and call-ups

Training sessions and matches in the team calendar, with responses from players and a reason for absence. Can be subscribed to from your phone's own calendar.

Team, assistant coaches and parents

Invite players, parents and fellow coaches. Ownership can be handed to an assistant coach if you leave.

Squad selection

Pick the squad before the match and send it to the selected players as a notification. Everyone sees what applies, and whoever is left out hears it from you rather than in the dressing room.

Event chat

One thread per event, so what applies to that specific match lives where it belongs.

Player ratings

Rate players across five areas, for players who accept ratings. A player can also ask you for one.

Session plans in the calendar

Build the session from drills and attach it to the training in the team calendar. Players see the plan beforehand — purpose, instructions, setup, time and area for each drill — so the briefing on the pitch can be shorter and everyone knows what is coming.

Find players

Search in the app among players who have chosen to be visible to trainers, and watch their clips.

Tryouts

Post a tryout that players can apply to directly in the app.

Roadmap

The third column is empty on purpose. You stand on the pitch; you know better than we do where it gets stuck.

In progress

  • An easier start for a new team
  • A better view of the squad over time
  • More support if you run several teams

No dates. The order changes with what coaches get in touch about.

You decide

There is room left here

  • Your idea
  • Your idea
  • Your idea

What takes the most time in your week as a coach that an app ought to be able to take away? Write it in the form — we read every line.

Tell us what you need

We promise influence, not delivery: you are in the room when we prioritise, and we build nothing substantial without someone having asked for it.

How we work

We build what you are actually missing

We roughly know where it chafes, from what coaches have told us. But we do not know what it looks like where you are: how many players you have, how much of it you do alone, and what jams in August when the whole squad has to get into the system at once and half of them changed phones since spring.

So get in touch when something is missing or long-winded. What several coaches say the same thing about goes high on the list, and you find out what happened to what you wrote. There is no support queue between you and the person writing the code.

  • Start with one team, not with the whole club.
  • Tell us when something takes more steps than it should — that is usually where we build next.
  • You get to hear what happened to what you suggested.

Questions coaches ask

Tell us what you are missing

Write a few lines and we will get back to you. The field about what you want solved matters most — we read it, and it weighs heavily when we decide what gets built next.

Write freely — what takes time today, what sits in the wrong place, what is missing. This goes straight into our prioritisation.

We use these details to contact you about Breakout and keep them for at most 24 months. Read more in our privacy policy.
