Built for football. Not bolted onto it.

Who it's for
Built for football people, whether you coach one squad or run a whole club
CobraHQ scales from a single coach taking a Saturday session to an established club with dozens of teams — same platform, more room as you grow. All of it 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 plan capacity that grows with the academy.
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.
Group chats, paper sign-in sheets, chasing payments, and a spreadsheet you're scared to open. The bigger your sessions get, the more time disappears.
- 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
With CobraHQ
Everything in one place, built to run lean.
From the first trial to a full squad, CobraHQ keeps your players, sessions, attendance, and payments organised — without the admin overhead.
- Tap attendance on your phone, pitch-side
- Message your squad in one place, not a noisy group chat
- Collect session and term fees and see who's paid
- See attendance trends and who's at risk of dropping off
What you get
One platform for everything off the pitch
Purpose-built for grassroots football (soccer) coaches, academies, and clubs — everything you need off the pitch, nothing you don't.
Session scheduling
Set up one-off or recurring training and matches. Players and parents get reminders automatically — no more chasing in the group chat.
Attendance tracking
Take the roll in seconds from your phone, pitch-side. Every session is recorded, so you always know who showed up.
Player management
A clean profile for every player — contact details, guardians, and history. Bulk import your existing list with a CSV.
Team chat
Keep team conversation in one place — club and team channels for the whole squad, plus direct messages between coaches and players. No more noisy group chats.
Payments
Collect session and term fees, see exactly who's paid and who hasn't, and get paid out — all in one view.
Player development
Record measurements and metrics over time so you can show real progress to players and parents.
Live dashboard
See upcoming sessions, attendance trends, pending follow-ups, and players at risk of dropping off — at a glance.
Safeguarding
Safe by design for youth football
CobraHQ is 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.
One app for the whole squad
Your whole squad, in your pocket.
CobraHQ is built for the sideline — coaches take the roll, set lineups, and capture the moment, while players and parents see schedules, get reminders, and keep their details up to date. One app, everyone in sync. Native on iPhone and Android.
- Pitch-side attendanceMark who's here in a few taps, right from the session. It syncs back instantly.
- Lineups & formationsDrag players into position on a visual pitch and set your formation before kick-off.

- Chat with your squadKeep team conversation in the same app — club and team channels for everyone, plus direct messages between coaches and players.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Is CobraHQ really free to start?
Yes. The Solo plan is free forever for individual trainers and needs no credit card. You can run sessions, track attendance, and upgrade only when you outgrow it.
Do I need to be a whole club to use it?
No — CobraHQ works for an individual coach with one squad, a growing academy, or an established club with dozens of teams. Start with what you need today; the same platform scales up as you grow.
How much does it cost?
Every plan and price is published right here on the site — no sales call required to find out what you'll pay. Start free on Solo, and see exactly what each plan includes before you upgrade.
Can players and parents use it too?
Yes — it's the same app, with a view tailored to their role. Invite players and parents and they'll see upcoming sessions, RSVP, get reminders, and keep their own details current.
Can I message my team in CobraHQ?
Yes. CobraHQ has built-in chat — club and team channels for the whole squad, plus direct messages between coaches and players. Keep team conversations in one place instead of a noisy group chat.
How does CobraHQ support safeguarding?
CobraHQ includes age-gated direct messaging, player-safe stat views, and tenant/channel-scoped access controls, so each role only sees what it needs.
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.
