Game of Rugby
School Rugby Management
For Coaches & Team Managers
Coach the team. The admin looks after itself.
A quick guide to how Game of Rugby works for coaches and team managers: from your first squad sheet to the final whistle, and what you get back at the end of the season.
Your season, step by step
Your school administrator creates your access; everything after that is yours to run.
Accept your invitation
Your administrator invites you by email and assigns the age groups you manage. One login covers every team you run.
Why it matters: no queue and no admin to chase — your school approves you and assigns your teams.
Complete your profile
Add your identity details once. Your profile is what links you to your school, your age groups and the squads you name.
Why it matters: the same account follows you from season to season, across every team you coach.
Open your roster
Players appear filtered to your school and your age group for the current season. Other schools' players, and age groups you do not manage, stay out of the way.
Why it matters: you see your squad, not the whole province.
Keep player records current
Update positions, height, weight, photo and availability — active, injured or unavailable — as the season moves along.
Why it matters: selection calls rest on real records instead of recollection.
Name your squads
Game Day Squads hold your starting XV, replacements and jersey numbers for a specific fixture, with the staff attached. Tour Squads do the same for festivals and tours.
Why it matters: every selection is saved per fixture, so you can look back at what you picked and who ran it.
Capture match day
Record tries, conversions, penalties and drop goals against the player who scored, log substitutions (including blood replacements) and run the match timer. If your school uses a Technical Table official, they can capture live while you coach.
Why it matters: the score is typed once — the match log, standings, rankings and public result page all follow from it.
Log training and medical
Capture training sessions, fitness testing and medical notes as they happen, instead of rebuilding the season from memory later.
Why it matters: injury history and workload sit in one place, for you and for the school.
Share and showcase
Send the live match link to parents, let the school website embed your results, and give each player a Player Card of their own.
Why it matters: parents follow the match live, and your players get seen beyond the school gate.
Your weekly tools
What you open between one Saturday and the next.
Dashboard Your teams at a glance — next fixtures, recent results and the players in your age groups.
Players Your roster with each player's record, positions, measurements, photo and availability.
Fixtures & Results Your schedule, score capture on the day and the match report afterwards.
Game Day Squads & Tour Squads Team sheets with starting XV, replacements, jersey numbers and staff, kept per fixture.
Training Session logs and fitness testing results for your players.
Medical Injury records and availability for the players in your care.
Public Site Fixtures, results, live matches and rankings as parents and players see them.
What you get back
Match day in one hand
Capture as you watch — no clipboard, no after-match data entry, no result to email in that evening.
Selection with evidence
Squad and team-sheet history per fixture, including the staff who ran it.
Player welfare in view
Injury status, availability and fitness results attached to the player you are selecting.
Fewer parent messages
The live match link answers "what is the score?" while it is still being played.
Continuity when you move on
Records belong to the school, so the next coach starts with a season's worth of context.
A pathway for your players
Player Cards and scouting availability put your players in front of provincial, club and school scouts.
Getting started
1. Open the invitation email from your school administrator and sign up.
2. Check your age groups and roster, then update anything that is out of date.
3. Capture your next fixture from the Fixtures page — the result publishes itself.
Coach and team-manager accounts are free. If you have not received an invitation, ask your school administrator to invite you from Manage Team.
