What's new
Updates to Coaches Office
Every update reaches your coaches on its own the next time they open the app. Nothing to download or reinstall.
Easier to use on your phoneLatest
- Tabs along the bottom: on a phone, your main sections sit in a tab bar at the bottom of the screen, sized for your thumb: Command, Depth, Practice, Schedule and Roster in football, and Command, Court, Practice, Schedule and Roster in basketball.
- A cleaner top bar: SAVE and whether your work is saved stay in view on one row. Search opens from the top bar, and EMAIL STAFF is in the menu.
- Practice opens on tonight's script: the station palette is one tap away, and you can still tap or hold-and-drag stations onto the script.
- Directions that fit your screen: on a touch screen the app says tap instead of click, and points you to the buttons where a phone can't drop files.
- Computers stay the same: nothing changes on a laptop or desktop.
Bring in a save file without losing work
- Review before it replaces anything: a save file from your other device now opens a review of the seven parts of your team: ROSTER & STAFF, DEPTH CHARTS, GAME DAY & PLAYS, PRACTICE, SCHEDULE & REPORTS, LIBRARY & NOTES and TEAM & LOOK. Each part says what differs and when it last changed on each side.
- Pick what comes in: only the parts you choose come in; the rest stay exactly as they were. CANCEL changes nothing. TAKE THE WHOLE FILE still replaces everything, behind a confirm.
- Your edits count, even on the demo team: if you typed your own players over the demo without START FRESH, a save file gets the same review instead of wiping them out.
- Basketball: a free view-only link for your staff: the head coach can tap SHARE VIEW (in the ☰ menu on a phone) to make one link other coaches open without a code or a seat. They see the board as of your last UPDATE BOARD and can print it, but can't edit. NEW LINK replaces it and TURN OFF deletes it; your order page shows it too. Uploaded files stay on your device.
- One save file at a time: dropping two save files at once is refused, so one can't quietly overwrite the other. On an upload box, any other files dropped with them still go in.
Easier basketball setup
- Enter your own team: in the basketball app, the Roster page now says when you are looking at the demo players and gives you a Start Fresh button. Adding a player to the full demo roster now tells you what to do.
- No silent lost changes: if the browser can't save a basketball change, the app now says so instead of showing it as saved, and Save still downloads your backup file.
Coaches Office HQ: Basketball
- Now for basketball: Coaches Office HQ: Basketball is its own app for basketball coaches, at coachesofficehq.com/basketball.
- Draw the play, watch it run: plus lineup cards, fair minutes, game plans, practice plans and your whole season, in your team colors.
- $19.99 one time: covers 1 coach on 2 devices. Extra coaches are $5.99 each.
- Football stays the same: your license, coaches and team data don't change. The home page now has a switch between the two sports and a new blue look.
- Offline is sturdier in both apps: an app on your Home Screen now opens with no signal, an update can't remove your offline copy, and a problem on our site can't hide it.
- Saves stay with their sport: the football app won't open a basketball save by mistake.
Safer orders
- Stronger protection for order pages and codes: repeated wrong codes are blocked and flagged to us, and each Etsy code can only ever be used once.
- Add-on codes stay private: redeeming one never reveals whether an email address has bought Coaches Office.
- Etsy refunds now close the order the same way a website refund does.
- New security policy at coachesofficehq.com/security.html: how we protect your order, what you can do, and how to report a problem.
- Updated policies: terms of sale, privacy and refunds now cover Etsy orders, add-on coaches and promo codes.
Game Day
- New Game Day section: pick the game, then a pre-game timeline that counts back from kickoff and prints on one page. The gameplan builder and call sheets moved here from Depth Charts.
- Depth Charts (was Depth Charts / Rosters) shows who is out or limited right on the boards.
- Player status on the Roster: tap GO, LTD or OUT on any player. Take attendance, log snaps and print player cards for parent meetings.
- Practice templates: start from a 90-minute plan or another template, flag new installs, set the water-break interval and mark heat days.
- Drills: add a file to any drill with + FILE, and STEP notes for making a drill easier or harder.
Now on Etsy
- Buy on Etsy: the same license, 3 coaches with 2 devices each, from our Etsy shop CoachesOfficeHQ.
- Redeem your code at coachesofficehq.com/redeem. Your personal code arrives by Etsy message, and your order page works just like a website order.
