Really well! He is improving a lot
With Pelota
Hi coach! How is Tomás getting on with his first touch?
Here is his report. First touch has gone from 1 to 4 since April.
Development report
Tomás Ribeiro
What the parent or guardian sees
A report a parent or guardian reads in two minutes: where their child is, what has improved and what they are working on next.
Progress by skill
Every skill, with today's score out of 5 and how far it has moved since the start of the period you choose.
Your note
A few lines from you, in your own words, at the top.
What they're working on
The goals you've set, what you're focusing on next, and the goals they've already reached.
How it works
Step 1: Add a player
Just a name to start. Coach one player on their own, or group a whole squad into a team.
Step 2: Score each skill
One to five, with a line under each score that tells you what it means.
Step 3: Share the report
Send a link by WhatsApp or email. Nothing for the parent or guardian to install.
The rest of your coaching notebook
The report is built from what you already do each week.
Attendance in one tap
Mark who came, who was late and how each player seemed, one tap each. The parent or guardian sees attendance too, session by session.
Who needs a look
Pelota flags players who have missed sessions in a row or dropped in a skill, so no one slips past you.
Plan the week
Put sessions on the calendar, repeat them weekly, and after each one note how it went and one thing for next time.
Works with no signal
Sits on your home screen like an app. Scores, attendance and session notes save with no signal, and send when you're back online.

Questions coaches ask
Is it free?
Yes. Pelota is free while it is in beta, and there is no card to enter.
How long does an assessment take?
After the first one, last time's scores are already filled in, so you only change what has moved. Short on time? Score only the three skills you worked on today.
Does the parent or guardian need to download anything?
No. They get a link that opens in the browser on their phone, with no account. It works for 30 days, and you can switch it off at any time.
I coach a whole team. Does it work?
Yes. Group your players into teams, take attendance for each session, and every player gets their own report. It works just as well for one player you coach on their own.
Can I change the skills?
Yes. The standard list has 21 skills across the five corners. You can rename any skill, rewrite what each score means, add your own, or build a second list, say for goalkeepers.
Which languages does it speak?
Portuguese and English. You can switch at any time. A report link opens in the language you use, and the parent or guardian can switch it.
Can I suggest something?
Please do. Pelota is in beta and is shaped by the coaches using it. Write to us at simao.er.costa.pereira@gmail.com.
