Who it's for
One squad or a whole club — same platform, more room as you grow
Shaped around the round-ball game, not a generic sports tool stretched to fit.
Academies
Juggling several squads, age groups, and assistant coaches? Manage every session and lineup from one place, with no subscription quantity limits on players, teams, coaches or staff.
Clubs
Coordinating dozens of teams across a season? Give every coach the same tools, keep players and parents in sync, and see the whole club at a glance.
Sound familiar?
Coaching is the easy part. The admin is what burns you out.
Before
Paper, group chats, spreadsheets
- Roll call on paper, then re-typing it later
- Reminders lost in a noisy group chat
- Chasing parents for session fees
- No real picture of who's turning up

Player management
A clean profile for every player — contacts, guardians, history. Bulk import your list with a CSV.
Safeguarding
Safe by design for youth football
Built for clubs working with young players, parents, and coaches. Safeguarding controls are built into the product, not bolted on later.
Age-gated direct messages
Direct messages are server-gated. Players and parents can't start new DMs, under-14 and unknown-age player accounts are excluded, and CobraHQ never reveals whether someone was blocked because of age.
Player-safe stats
Athletes and parents see development, attendance, and shared measurements without yellow/red-card leaderboards or per-player disciplinary card data.
Club and channel boundaries
Organisation data stays tenant-scoped, chat access is channel-scoped, and private media links are signed only after a fresh membership check.
Every role stays connected
One shared app for every role on the squad
Coaches, players, and parents across the web, iPhone, and Android — everyone stays in sync from planning to pitch-side.

How does CobraHQ support safeguarding?

What kind of coaching is it for?
Grassroots football (soccer) — solo coaches, small academies, skills clinics, holiday camps, and development squads. Formations for 4, 7, 9, and 11-a-side, a visual pitch for lineups, and football-specific player development: CobraHQ is built around the round-ball game, not stretched to fit it.
