Introduction

The problem

Running a squad often involves a considerable amount of administrative overhead (or faff).

Anyone who has spent time around a rowing club has probably heard the following:

  • “Hello chaps, Could you confirm availability for tonight, Saturday and Sunday?”
  • “Please can you all confirm asap this afternoon your ARA numbers so that we can enter the eights head?”
  • “I thought I told you I was getting married that weekend.”
  • “P.S. Are there circuits tonight?”

As a Coach

As a Rower
  • I want my squad members to be able to see when new outings are scheduled.
  • I need to be able to see which rowers are available for an outing.
  • I want to be able to look ahead and allow for squad member’s planned absences.
  • I want to be able to retrieve relevant details such as ARA numbers, points and birth dates when completing regatta entire forms.
  • I want to be able to delegate these tasks to senior squad members.
  • I want to know when squad outings are scheduled.
  • I want to indicate my availability for these outings.
  • I need to be able to contact my coach and squad members.

The solution

Squad list provides a set of simple tools to collect the relevant information and present it to the people who need to know.

The following tools are provided:

  • An online calendar of squad outings and squad member availability.
  • A central repository for all squad member’s contact and ARA details.
  • The ability for squad members to view upcoming outings and confirm their availability instantly.

The system is entirely web based and is accessible from any Internet connected computer. No additional software is required.

An online demo and screenshots are available.
