Football Federation digitalizes training planning and management of its youth representative teams and performance bases

The Club solution digitally connects 18 youth selection team and performance bases

The Schleswig-Holstein Football Federation (SHFV) is one of the 21 regional associations of the German Football Federation (DFB), making it part of the largest sports association in the world. For coaching education and also the development, support and administration of youth selection teams and performance bases more emphasis is placed on the integration of digital solutions.

The SHFV had been looking for a digital solution that would meet the federation's high standards for a long time. In addition to the internal networking of the coaches, the software should offer all those responsible the opportunity to have a complete overview of all teams, their development and training content always. At the same time, user-friendliness was an important criterion when choosing coachbetter. The versatility of coachbetter is also evident in its use within the SHFV. In addition to the Club Solution for the youth selection teams and performance bases, coachbetter is also an integral part of the coaching education. You can find out more about coaching education at SHFV and cooperation with coachbetter here.

We wanted to digitalize ourselves, try something new, something better, we wanted to be innovative and work with an app that makes everyday life easier for coaches and instructors. This is possible for us with coachbetter and the Club Solution. I would have liked a solution like that when I was a club coach myself

How coachbetter adds value to the federation's offspring and its coaches

Team Administration: The development of all players of all 18 teams and performance bases can be traced, simple and transparent. A game day or training session can be documented and edited with just a few clicks. Important data, notes, and reviews can be accessed anytime - no data is lost, even if a coach leaves the club.

Communication: All coaches and managers are digitally connected and can exchange ideas on sporting and administrative topics for all teams. Planned training sessions can be shared with players and coaching staff prior to the actual practice.

Training planning: Coaches can choose from over 250 individual training activities (ranging from technical to tactical focus areas) as well as complete session plans, which are easily adaptable to the performance levels of any team.

Player Profiles: For each player, an individual player profile is created, in which the performance can be transparently tracked. Every player (or parents) has access via the Playbetter App to his own profile, which enables efficient feedback culture and communication. Players can trace their own performance and development and can confirm or deny presence or absence for training sessions and games, directly in the app.

Video Analysis: With this feature, individual sequences of a game or training can be analyzed and shared directly with the player. No beautiful goal is missed.

Data Analysis & Statistics: coachbetter provides an overview of all training units and games played for a transparent overview and robust data analysis.

SHFV and coachbetter - a successful journey together

We are very happy to accompany the SHFV on its digital journey. We feel the will and the desire in everyone involved, regardless of whether they are players, coaches or those responsible, to further develop the SHFV, to make it better and more innovative. We as coachbetter are proud to be part of it and it is of course nice to see that our platform is so well received. Of course, we also get valuable input from experienced and successful coaches and course participants and want to make coachbetter even better.
