Spend less time on spreadsheets, more time on court.
A coach app for registers and player feedback, and an admin portal that runs your sessions,
coaches and players. Built with, and already in use at, a UK badminton academy.
From planning next term to telling a parent how their child is getting on, everything
lives in one place, and everyone sees only what they should.
Before the session
See what needs attention at a glance
The admin dashboard shows registers still to complete, consent forms to chase, places left in each group
and attendance week by week. Set up a term's sessions in a few clicks: dates are generated for you and
half term is skipped.
One tap per player: present, late, absent or excused. It keeps working with no signal at the venue and
syncs when the coach is back online. Consent, photo permission and medical alerts sit right next to each
name.
Coaches add quick notes and score skills (footwork, racket skills, movement and match play). The draft
saves itself, and every assessment stays on the player's record, so progress is written down rather than
remembered. Internal notes stay with coaches.
Feedback written for parents, kept separate from coaches' notes
The parent app will show each child's attendance and the feedback their coach chooses to share, in the
same app the coaches use. Medical details and coaches' internal notes are never shown to parents.
Big buttons, clear at a glance, and quick to open between rallies. Swipe through the
screens coaches use every week.

Why clubs choose ShuttleNest
Everything your academy runs on
Less admin every week
No more copying registers between sheets or chasing coaches for who turned up. Registers arrive
complete, and the dashboard tells you what's missing.
Progress you can show
Skills assessments and session notes build a record for every player, so coaches, parents and the club
can see how a player is developing.
Cover sorted
Assign a cover coach for one date or a whole run of dates. They see that session and its players, and
nothing else.
Terms planned in minutes
Weekly groups, venues and courts, with every date generated for the term and breaks skipped. Move or
cancel a single date when the hall is booked.
Parents kept informed Soon
Attendance and the feedback coaches choose to share, in the parent app. Internal notes stay with
coaches.
Easy to switch
Import your existing register spreadsheets to get started, and export attendance whenever you need it.
Safeguarding and data
Built for clubs that look after children
Junior clubs hold sensitive information. ShuttleNest was designed around safeguarding from the start, not
added on later.
UK data hosting. Each club's data is kept in the UK.
Coaches see only their own groups. Access follows the sessions a coach is assigned to,
including cover.
Medical notes are protected. Kept apart from everyday lists, and every view is
logged.
No coach-to-child messaging. There is no way for coaches to message children in the
app.
Secure sign-in. Admins sign in with two-factor authentication.
Changes have a reason. Corrections to registers and enrolments record who, when and
why.
Built by coaches, for coaches
Started on court, not in a boardroom
ShuttleNest began with the people taking registers in spreadsheets every week. Every screen is shaped by
what coaches and club owners need between sessions: quick to open, clear at a glance and working on a
patchy sports-hall connection.
Already in use at a UK badminton academy. More clubs are welcome.
Questions
Frequently asked
Do our coaches need training?
Very little. The coach app does a few things and makes them obvious: see today's sessions, take the
register, add a note or an assessment. There's very little to learn.
Does it work without signal at the venue?
Yes. Registers are saved on the phone and sent when the coach is back online, so a sports hall with no
signal is fine.
Can we bring our existing spreadsheets?
Yes. The admin portal imports register spreadsheets (Excel or CSV), matches players and shows you what
it will do before anything is saved.
Where is our data kept?
In the UK. Each club's data is kept separately, and access is limited to the people who need it.
Is there an app for parents?
It's coming soon. Parents will see their children's attendance and the feedback coaches choose to share,
in the same app the coaches use.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the size of your club. Talk to us and we'll put together a price that fits.
How do we get started?
Email us. We'll show you ShuttleNest with your own sessions in mind, set your club up with your name and
colours, and help you import your players.
