Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about coachreport.ai.

What is the FA Four Corner Model?

The FA Four Corner Model is the Football Association's holistic approach to player development. It covers five key areas: Technical (ball skills), Tactical (game understanding), Psychological (mental aspects), Physical (fitness and strength), and Social (teamwork and communication). coachreport.ai structures all reports around this framework.

How does the AI report generation work?

You have a natural conversation with our AI about your player's progress. Share your observations about their training, matches, and development. The AI then formats this into a professional, age-appropriate report following the FA Four Corner Model structure.

How do parents receive reports?

Parents receive an email with a secure 'magic link' that gives them instant access to view their child's report online. No login or password required. They can also download a PDF version from the report page.

Is my players' data secure?

Yes. We take data protection seriously, especially for children's data. All data is encrypted, access is strictly controlled, and we comply with GDPR. Reports are only accessible via secure, time-limited links.

Can I customise reports with my club branding?

Yes! You can upload your club logo and set your primary and secondary colours. These will appear on all reports, giving them a professional, branded look.

How many reports can I create?

The free plan includes 2 reports per month — enough to try it properly. The Coach plan (£9.99/month) and Club plan (£24.99/month) include unlimited reports.

What's the difference between Free, Coach, and Club plans?

The Free plan gives you 2 reports per month with no card required — perfect for trying Coachreport. The Coach plan (£9.99/month) is for dedicated coaches with unlimited reports and club branding. The Club plan (£24.99/month) supports up to 5 teams with a multi-team dashboard and priority support.

Is Coachreport really free to start?

Yes — completely free. Create an account, add your players, and generate 2 professional reports per month. No credit card, no time limit, no catch. Upgrade to Coach or Club when you need more.

Can multiple coaches access the same team?

Yes. Club administrators can invite additional coaches and assign them to specific teams. Each coach can create and manage reports for their assigned players.

What age groups does Coachreport support?

Coachreport supports all youth age groups from U5 to U18. The report language and expectations automatically adjust to be age-appropriate for each player.

How do I write a player development report?

With Coachreport, you don't need to write one from scratch. Simply share your observations about the player — what they've improved at, where they need support, how they interact with teammates — and our AI structures it into a professional FA Four Corner Model report. It takes about 2 minutes.

What should a youth football player report include?

A good player report covers the FA Four Corner Model: Technical skills (passing, dribbling, shooting), Tactical awareness (positioning, decision-making), Psychological development (confidence, resilience), and Social skills (teamwork, communication). Coachreport automatically structures your observations across all four corners.

Can I use Coachreport for academy or charter standard clubs?

Absolutely. Coachreport follows the FA Four Corner Model which is the foundation of FA charter standard and academy player development. The reports are professional enough for any club setting, from grassroots to academy level.

Do I need to be technical to use Coachreport?

Not at all. If you can describe what you've seen on the training pitch, you can use Coachreport. Just talk to the AI naturally — 'She's really improved her weak foot this term' — and it handles the rest. No templates to fill in, no forms to complete.

Can parents reply to or comment on reports?

Reports are currently view-only for parents. They receive a secure link to view and download the report. We're working on adding parent feedback features in a future update.
