Getting started
Welcome to SHOT Clubhouse
Everything you need to set up your club, build your team, and run your first evaluation — from download to your first session. Find your setup type or jump straight to your role.
How SHOT Clubhouse works
SHOT Clubhouse is a single app for coaches, athletes, clubs, parents, and fans across every sport. It is organised into four rooms:
1. Download the app
SHOT Clubhouse runs as a mobile app. Download it from your device's app store before you do anything else.
2. Your Sport Head
Your Sport Head is your identity within SHOT Clubhouse — the profile that clubs, coaches, and teams see when you join, and the record that tracks your history across everything you do on the platform.
Setting up your Sport Head
3. Create a club
Club admin
A club is the top-level organisation on SHOT Clubhouse. It holds one or more teams. If you run a football club with U9s, U11s, and a Women's First team, each of those is a team within your single club.
4. Create a team
CoachTeams sit inside your club. Each team has its own squad, events, and evaluation framework. You can have as many teams as you need within one club.
5. Choose an evaluation framework
CoachThe framework is the structured development programme your team follows across the season. It determines what questions athletes answer each week and how their progress is tracked across five categories: Technical, Physical, Psychological, Social, and Personal.
SHOT Clubhouse covers 46 sports with 322 frameworks — seven development levels per sport. When you create a team and choose your sport, all available frameworks for that sport appear.
The seven levels
Every sport follows the same pathway: Play · Foundation · Development · Academy · Pro · Competitive · Recreation. Choose the level that matches where your athletes are now. You move levels at the start of a new season.

What a week looks like — examples across all seven levels
Each week the framework auto-generates four touchpoints around every event: Prepare (before), Reflect (after), Coach Feedback, and Next Steps. The questions are specific to the sport and level. Tap a level below to see an example.
Play Football— young and beginner athletes
Prepare
"How excited are you to play today? Rate your energy from 1 to 5."
Completed by: Athlete
Reflect
"What was your favourite thing you did in today's session? Did you try something new?"
Completed by: Athlete
Coach
"How enthusiastic and engaged were they throughout the session?"
Completed by: Coach
Next Steps
"Encourage them to try one new skill next session — keep the challenge fun and the pressure low."
Visible to: Athlete, Coach, Parent
Foundation Cricket— building core technique
Prepare
"How confident do you feel about your batting technique heading into today?"
Completed by: Athlete
Reflect
"Did you remember to watch the ball all the way onto your bat? Where did you lose focus?"
Completed by: Athlete
Coach
"How was their footwork and balance at the crease under different delivery types?"
Completed by: Coach
Next Steps
"Work on their stance before each delivery — stay side-on, watch the bowler's hand from the first stride."
Visible to: Athlete, Coach, Parent
Development Football— tactical and technical depth
Prepare
"How sharp do you feel today — physically and mentally? What one thing do you want to focus on?"
Completed by: Athlete
Reflect
"Did you hold your shape and make good decisions when your team were out of possession?"
Completed by: Athlete
Coach
"How was their awareness of space and movement off the ball during defensive and transitional phases?"
Completed by: Coach
Next Steps
"Encourage scanning before receiving — in training, ask them to narrate what they see before each touch in a 5v5 scenario."
Visible to: Athlete, Coach, Parent
Academy Football— structured programme athletes
Prepare
"How well do you feel your positioning and decision-making have developed this week? What is your specific goal for today?"
Completed by: Athlete
Reflect
"Did you impose yourself on the game today? Were you effective in transition — both ways?"
Completed by: Athlete
Coach
"How well did they read the game and execute their role under physical and psychological pressure?"
Completed by: Coach
Next Steps
"Set a specific tactical target for the next match — e.g. winning back possession within 5 seconds of losing it in the middle third."
Visible to: Athlete, Coach, Parent
Pro Tennis— elite performance
Prepare
"How focused is your mental game today? Are you controlling the controllables — breathing, routine, reset between points?"
Completed by: Athlete
Reflect
"Did you execute your game plan under pressure? How well did you manage your error count in the third set?"
Completed by: Athlete
Coach
"How well did they construct points purposefully and close them out under match conditions — particularly in tiebreaks?"
Completed by: Coach
Next Steps
"Review second serve decision-making — identify patterns where they lose initiative and build a routine response to those situations in practice."
Visible to: Athlete, Coach, Parent
Recreation Boxing— wellbeing and participation focused
Prepare
"How are you feeling today — energy, mood, and motivation? What are you looking to get from this session?"
Completed by: Athlete
Reflect
"Did you enjoy today's session? What did you take away from it — technically or personally?"
Completed by: Athlete
Coach
"How was their engagement and effort throughout? Were they present and getting something from the session?"
Completed by: Coach
Next Steps
"Check in about their goals outside the gym — recreational athletes perform best when training connects to their personal reasons for being there."
Visible to: Athlete, Coach, Parent
Competitive Rugby Union— high-level in-season athletes
Prepare
"How are your physical readiness and mental edge ahead of today's match? Is there anything from last week's performance you are carrying in?"
Completed by: Athlete
Reflect
"Did you execute your role within the team structure today? Where did you add value and where were the gaps — especially under fatigue in the final 20 minutes?"
Completed by: Athlete
Coach
"How was their positional discipline and technical effectiveness — particularly in contact situations and set piece under match-day pressure?"
Completed by: Coach
Next Steps
"Review their decision-making in contact — identify two or three instances where earlier commitment to the carry or the tackle would have changed the outcome."
Visible to: Athlete, Coach, Parent
6. Invite athletes
CoachFrom your team admin screen, tap Invite Players. This generates an invite link and join code you can share with athletes and their parents.
7. Add coaches
Club admin
From your team admin screen, tap Add Coach. A join code is generated that you send to the coach. Coaches must have a Sport Head account before they can join a team.
Once a coach joins your team they can view the full squad, create and publish events, and complete Coach Feedback evaluations for each athlete. A coach can manage multiple teams across multiple clubs from a single Sport Head.
8. Running events
CoachEvents are the core unit of activity in SHOT Clubhouse. Every training session and match is an event. Events trigger evaluations for athletes and create the records that build their development history.
Creating an event
Running events every week
Most coaches create a new event for each training session and match as part of their regular week. The framework handles the rest — the questions change automatically each week based on which block is active. You do not need to set this manually or prepare questions in advance.
The event dashboard
Each published event gives the coach a dashboard with four tabs: Overview, Pre-Eval (who has completed theirs), Post-Eval (same), and Coach Feedback (where the coach enters ratings for each athlete).
9. Running evaluations
Evaluations are how development is tracked. They happen around each event — before, after, and from the coach. The questions come from the framework your team is following and change week by week.
Choose your evaluation intensity
When you set up a team, you decide which evaluation types to enable. You can run all three, or start with just Coach Feedback if self-evaluation feels like too much for your group at first. These settings can be changed at any time from team settings.
Pre-Eval (Prepare)
The athlete rates themselves before a session or match. Sets mindset and intentions for the event.
Completed by: Athletes
Post-Eval (Reflect)
The athlete reflects on their performance after the event. Builds self-awareness over time.
Completed by: Athletes
Coach Feedback
The coach evaluates each athlete across the five development categories. Athletes and parents (under 18) can view the result.
Completed by: Coaches
The five development categories
What athletes and parents see
Athletes see their evaluation history in the Perform tab — total events attended, evaluations completed, and rolling average score. When coach feedback is released, athletes see their Strengths and Focus Areas framed as development guidance, not a grade. For athletes under 18, parents see the same coach feedback through their linked account.
Multi-sport providers
School · Academy · Multi-sport clubIf you run programmes across more than one sport — a school with football, swimming, and athletics, or a multi-sport academy — SHOT Clubhouse handles this in two ways. Choose the structure that fits how your organisation works.
Option A: One club per sport
Create a separate club for each sport. Each club has its own teams, coaches, and framework. Athletes who participate in multiple sports hold separate team memberships within different clubs — but they use one Sport Head across all of them.
Example — secondary school
"Riverside School FC" for football, "Riverside School Swimming" for swimming, "Riverside School Athletics" for track and field. Each club has its own admin and coaches. A student who swims and plays football joins both clubs with one account.
Option B: One club, multiple teams across different sports
Create one club ("Riverside Sports Academy") and add teams for each sport within it. Each team selects its own sport and framework independently. The club admin has oversight of all teams in one place.
Example — multi-sport junior club
"Springfield Sports Club" contains "Springfield U13 Football", "Springfield U13 Tennis", and "Springfield U13 Swimming" as separate teams. One club admin manages all three. Coaches are assigned per team.
Frameworks across sports
Each team in your club can run a completely different sport and level. A school with a Year 7 football team on Play, a Year 10 athletics squad on Development, and a sixth-form tennis programme on Competitive sets each up independently — the framework for each advances automatically through its own season, separate from the others.
Multiple clubs and memberships
One Sport Head is all you need, regardless of how many clubs, sports, or roles you hold. SHOT Clubhouse is built for people whose sporting lives span more than one team or organisation.
For athletes
An athlete can be a member of multiple teams across multiple clubs and sports simultaneously. Their Perform tab shows all teams and clubs they belong to, organised separately. Evaluation history from different teams does not mix — each team's data is kept distinct.
For coaches
A coach can manage multiple teams across multiple clubs and sports from one account. Switching between them is instant — each team's event dashboard and athlete list is separate. There is no limit on the number of clubs or teams a coach can manage.
For parents
A parent account can be linked to multiple children in different clubs and sports. Each child's profile is managed separately within the same parent account. For children under 13, the parent account is the primary access point — all coach feedback, events, and notifications come through to the parent directly.
Account switching
If you hold multiple roles — coaching one club while your child plays for another — you can switch between your coach view and your parent view from within the same Sport Head. No separate logins needed.
For coaches

SHOT Clubhouse is your session-to-session development tool. Here is the full picture of what you do and when.
Before the season
Each week
For club administrators
Club admin
Club admins manage the top-level club account and have visibility across all teams within the club. One Sport Head can manage multiple clubs across multiple sports.
For athletes
Athlete
As an athlete, your SHOT Clubhouse experience lives in the Perform tab. Everything tied to your development — evaluations, history, and team events — is there.
For parents — child under 13
Parent · Under 13If your child is under 13, their SHOT Clubhouse account is managed through you. You create and control the account — your child does not have independent access.
For parents — child aged 13 to 18
Parent · 13–18Athletes aged 13 to 18 have their own account and their own login. As a parent, you can be linked to your child's account to stay informed — but your child manages their own profile and completes their own evaluations.
For adult athletes (18+)
Athlete · 18+Adult athletes have full independent access. Your account is entirely your own.
For fans and supporters
Fan
You do not need to be a coach or athlete to be on SHOT Clubhouse. Download the app, create a Sport Head, and use PULSE to follow the sports and clubs you care about — live scores, news, and highlights across 12 sports in one place.
Frequently asked questions
How do I add athletes to my team?
From your team admin screen, tap Invite Players. This generates an invite link and join code. Share the link with athletes (or their parents for under-13s) via WhatsApp, email, or your usual messaging channel. Once they follow the link and enter the join code, they appear in your Active Athletes list.
What is a Sport Head?
Your Sport Head is your identity on SHOT Clubhouse. Every user has one — coaches, athletes, parents, and fans. It is your single account across every club, sport, and role you hold on the platform. You set a unique handle and avatar when you create it.
Can I run multiple sports from one account?
Yes. One Sport Head covers every sport, club, and role you hold. You can coach football and manage a swimming programme simultaneously. Athletes can belong to teams across different sports. Parents can have children in different clubs and sports — all managed from one account.
See the Multi-sport providers and Multiple clubs sections for setup guidance.
How do frameworks work?
A framework is a structured 48-week development programme for a sport and level. You assign one to each team when you create it. Each week, a new block activates with fresh evaluation questions across five categories — Technical, Physical, Psychological, Social, and Personal. You do not need to set this up or prepare questions; it advances automatically week by week.
SHOT Clubhouse covers 46 sports across seven levels: Play, Foundation, Development, Academy, Pro, Competitive, and Recreation — 322 frameworks in total.
What are the evaluation types and how do I choose?
There are three evaluation types you can enable per team:
Pre-Eval (Prepare) — athletes rate themselves before a session or match.
Post-Eval (Reflect) — athletes reflect on performance after the event.
Coach Feedback — the coach rates each athlete across five categories after the event.
You can enable all three, or just Coach Feedback if you want to start simply. These settings can be changed at any time from team settings.
My child is under 13. How do I set up their account?
Create your own SHOT Clubhouse account using your email address. When the coach sends an invite link, follow it while logged in to your account and add your child's profile. Under-13 athletes do not receive a separate login — all access and notifications come through your parent account. See the Parent guide (under 13) for step-by-step instructions.
My child is 13 to 18. Can I still see their coach feedback?
Yes, if a parent link is set up. Athletes aged 13–18 have their own account and log in independently, but a parent account can be linked so you receive the same event notifications and can view coach feedback. Ask your coach or club admin to set up the link. If you are not seeing feedback you expect, ask them to check the team's sharing settings.
How does a school or multi-sport academy set up across different sports?
You have two options. Create a separate club for each sport (e.g. "Riverside School FC", "Riverside School Swimming") — useful for larger organisations with separate coaching teams per sport. Or create one club and add teams for different sports within it — simpler for smaller organisations where admin is centralised. Athletes who participate in multiple sports join multiple teams with one Sport Head. See the Multi-sport providers section for full guidance.
What sports are covered?
SHOT PERFORM frameworks cover 46 sports across seven development levels: Football, Rugby Union, Rugby League, Cricket, Basketball, Boxing, Combat Sports, Functional Fitness, Golf, Padel, Handball, Gaelic Games, Badminton, Futsal, Volleyball, Weightlifting, Table Tennis, Track & Field, Endurance, Motorsport, Ice Hockey, American Football, Baseball, Lacrosse, Water Polo, Rowing, Gymnastics, Squash, Netball, Field Hockey, Swimming, Tennis, Yoga, Pilates, Pickleball, Cycling, Triathlon, Climbing, Skateboarding, Running, Dance, Judo, Taekwondo, Karate, Cheerleading, and Mindset & Wellbeing.
PULSE live scores and standings cover 12 sports: Football, Tennis, Cricket, Rugby Union, Basketball, Baseball, American Football, Golf, Motorsport (F1), Boxing, Ice Hockey, and UFC.
What is PULSE?
PULSE is one of the four rooms in SHOT Clubhouse. It brings live scores, standings, and results for 12 sports into the same app you use for your club and evaluations. It also carries sport news and articles. Tap the PULSE icon at the bottom of the screen to access the Sport Hub. See the PULSE guide for full details.
Can a coach manage multiple clubs and teams?
Yes. A coach can manage any number of teams across any number of clubs from a single Sport Head. Switch between teams from the Clubhouse tab. Each team's athletes, events, and evaluations are kept separate.
What does an athlete see after a coach submits feedback?
The athlete sees their Strengths (highest-scoring categories from that event), Focus Areas (the categories to work on), and specific Next Steps generated from the framework for that week. These are framed as development guidance, not a grade. For athletes under 18, parents with a linked account see the same feedback.
