The information is scattered
One coach knows the player needs extra time before responding. Someone else got a message from a parent last season. The welfare officer has a note somewhere. None of it reaches the coach running the session tonight.
Player Passport · every club, every player
Parents and carers share what their child needs. Adult players can share for themselves. Welfare reviews it before coaches see anything. Every coach gets a clear, practical support snapshot — before the session, before the hard moment arrives. Works for any club, any sport, any player.
A problem community clubs know well
Clubs run on memory, messages, registration forms and whoever happened to speak to someone last season. That's not a system. And it doesn't give players the consistency they need.
One coach knows the player needs extra time before responding. Someone else got a message from a parent last season. The welfare officer has a note somewhere. None of it reaches the coach running the session tonight.
When coaches change, the knowledge usually disappears with them. New volunteers don't know the history. Parents assume someone has passed it on. Usually nobody has.
Clubs ask for this information at registration. It goes into a folder or a spreadsheet and stays there. Nothing creates the practical guidance a coach can actually use in a session.
How Player Passport works
Simple enough for a volunteer welfare officer to run. Practical enough that coaches actually use it before sessions and competitions.
Parents and carers get a guided form for youth players. Adult players complete their own support profile. The form asks the things coaches actually need to know: communication preferences, sensory sensitivities, what helps, what doesn't. Warm, not clinical. Takes about ten minutes.
Nothing goes to coaches automatically. Your welfare or safeguarding lead reviews everything first and approves what belongs in the coach-facing snapshot. Sensitive detail stays welfare-controlled.
Not a long form. Not a diagnosis. Just support guidance a coach can read in two minutes before a session — how to communicate, what to watch for, what helps and what to avoid.
Coach-safe means coach-useful
The snapshot gives coaches exactly what they need in the moment. Nothing more, nothing less. Sensitive medical detail, diagnosis information, and full family context stay behind the welfare review wall.
Short, direct sentences. Always address them by name first. Avoid rhetorical questions. Allow 15–20 seconds before expecting a response.
Consistent warm-up structure. Tell them about role changes early — not at the last moment. Praise privately, not in front of the group.
What parents and players actually experience
Parents and carers get a link from you for youth players. Adult players complete their own support profile. No app to download, no account to create. The form takes most people about ten minutes, and it asks things like how the player communicates best, what they find difficult, and what tends to help when they're struggling.
Nothing they share goes anywhere without welfare review. Support sharing is permission-led, coach visibility is controlled, and safeguarding concerns still follow your club's existing safeguarding process.
One message. Works by text, email, or your usual club comms channel. Parents, carers or adult players click and go.
Guided questions about communication, confidence, sensory needs, routine, support preferences and the player's own voice.
Nothing reaches coaches automatically. You decide what's coach-visible. Sensitive detail stays with you.
Practical, specific, ready before the session. No backstory. Just what they need.
Three people, one system
You control what coaches see. Submissions sit in your review queue first. You approve what's coach-visible, flag what stays restricted, and manage the review schedule through the season. No more hoping the right person remembered to pass something on. You can also add a private Development Context note to any player's full passport — a welfare-only record of where a player is on their participation pathway, what the plan is, and who owns the next review. It never reaches coaches or session leads.
Parents know things about their child that coaches don't. Adult players know what helps them feel confident, safe and ready. Player Passport gives that information a proper route, without sending sensitive detail carelessly around the club.
You don't need the full history. You need to know how to communicate with the player in front of you, what to watch for, and what to do if something goes wrong. The snapshot gives you that. Nothing else gets in the way.
One product, every sport
Player Passport isn't built around a sport. It's built around the relationship between a player, their family, the people responsible for their welfare, and the coach running the session. That relationship exists in every club, on every pitch, in every pool and court and gym in the country. The intake form, the welfare review model, the coach snapshot — none of it knows what sport you play. It just knows that your players need to be understood.
Don't see your sport? It doesn't matter. Get in touch.
For every club coaching girls and women
Across grassroots sport, there are coaches running girls' sections and women's teams who have never been given a structured way to understand what their players need. Around confidence, privacy, body image, changing facilities, menstrual wellbeing, social dynamics, or the specific ways girls mask difficulty rather than show it.
That's not a failure of coaching. It's a gap in what clubs have ever given them.
Player Passport includes a Female Player Wellbeing layer — an optional module that clubs can switch on for girls' and women's teams. Parents and players share what's relevant. Welfare controls what coaches see. Coaches get a clear, practical support card — not a medical file, not a guessing game. Just the specific things that help this player feel confident, safe and able to stay involved.
For welfare officers, club chairs and committee members watching their girls' section grow: this is the infrastructure that makes that growth sustainable.
Not another club admin tool
None of those tools tell a coach how to support the player in front of them. That's the gap. Player Passport exists entirely in that gap.
Questions committees ask
Is this only for players with a diagnosis?
No. Any player who might benefit from coaches understanding them better can have a Player Passport. A diagnosis is never required. The question is always: what does this player need from the adults around them?
Do coaches see everything people write?
No. Everything goes through the welfare or safeguarding lead first. Medical information, diagnosis, family context, or anything the family or adult player wants kept controlled stays restricted. Coaches see the support guidance, not the full confidential record.
We already collect this on our registration forms.
Most clubs collect it. Rarely does it reach coaches in a usable form. Player Passport is not another data collection exercise. It turns what parents, carers and adult players share into the practical guidance coaches actually need.
Will our volunteers actually use it?
The welfare lead sends a link. Parents, carers or adult players fill in a form. Coaches get a snapshot. Nobody needs training to use it. It's designed for a club run by volunteers with not enough time — because that's most community clubs.
Is the pricing really that simple?
Yes. £9/month for clubs up to 250 players. £19/month above that. Or pay annually and save. That's it. No per-user fees. No hidden tier unlocks. Priced so a welfare officer can take it to committee and get a yes in one meeting.
Does this replace our safeguarding systems?
No. Player Passport is for player support information. Safeguarding concerns still follow your club's normal procedure. Support sharing is permission-led, but safeguarding is safeguarding-led where risk requires escalation. These are different things, and we keep them that way.
Can PP be used for players at different participation or development levels?
Yes — and this is one of the strongest arguments for putting the whole group on it. Every club has players at different stages of involvement. PP works for all of them. Welfare leads can add a private Development Context note to any player's full passport — recording where they are, what the plan looks like, and who owns the next review. It never appears in the coach snapshot. It stays with welfare, and it stays when the welfare lead changes.
Grassroots-first pricing
Priced so welfare officers don't have to fight for it. One flat fee, all players, no hidden costs.
