Training pitch coordination: who trains when on which pitch?

Three senior teams, youth squads A to F, plus the veterans: in a growing club, the question “who trains when on which pitch?” is a daily coordination job. 11COACH solves it centrally: pitch allocation is visible club-wide, every booking is linked directly to its event, and last-minute changes reach the affected teams via push. No more phone chains, no more yesterday's Excel file, no more two teams on the same field.

The coordination trap: more teams, more phone calls

With a handful of teams, you sort out the pitch on the fly. With twelve teams it becomes a full-time problem: coaches call each other, the manager maintains a spreadsheet, and still two youth squads show up at the same field on Tuesday. The issue isn't willingness – what's missing is a single, current source of truth that everyone looks at simultaneously.

Central pitch allocation instead of a phone chain

In 11COACH, pitch allocation lives in one place: the sporting director or manager assigns training pitches club-wide, and every coach sees their slots without asking. The allocation is visible to all coaches and managers – nobody plans against a version only one person knows. Debates like “but we always have the turf on Tuesdays” are settled with one look at the shared plan.

Last-minute closures reach everyone – via push

Pitch maintenance on Wednesday, a tournament on Saturday, the grass closed after heavy rain: last-minute changes are exactly where spreadsheets and phone chains fail – the news never reaches everyone in time. In 11COACH, the closure is entered centrally and the affected teams get the update via push. No coach drives to the ground for nothing, no team stands in front of a locked gate.

Pitch and event belong together

A training pitch without an event is just a patch of grass. That's why every pitch booking in 11COACH is linked directly to the schedule: create a session and the pitch comes with it – move the event and the booking moves along. Training times, teams and fields stay consistent automatically instead of drifting apart in two separate lists. And for the dressing room door, the plan comes as a printable version.
