## What it does
| Role | Core capability |
|------|----------------|
| **Coach** | Manage squads, fixtures, training and attendance; plan tactics on an interactive board; ask a squad-aware AI assistant for an XI, a match plan or advice |
| **Player** | View personal passport (position, attributes, match ratings), watch plays the coach shares, learn what their position does, follow fixtures and training |
| **Parent** | Link to a child's profile using a share code, track progress and ratings, sign documents digitally |
| **Admin** | Academy-wide player and team oversight, SAFA document compliance, analytics |

a recorded voice note.
