Define Project Goal
The coaches of a gymnastics program for young children have found that they spend too much time on administrative tasks such as switching between sessions, searching for course materials, and recording progress.
As a result, they are unable to dedicate as much time as they would like to coaching. To address this issue, we have developed a mobile app with user-friendly features that will allow coaches to optimize their sessions and focus more on coaching.
Problem ↓
What would it be efficient ways to save time for coaches?
- Updating students reports manually can be time-consuming.
- Writing class materials such as curriculum, textbooks, or evaluations on the paper can be a hassle.
- Delivering information to parents by kids take extra time to deliver important notes.
Solution ↓
đź’ˇApps for Tracking and managing by automating skills
Coala is a mobile application that tracks and manages each child’s
individual learning by automating and bringing together the skills they need to learn.Â
Through this solution, users will be able to have:
Â
A personalized solution tailored for every coach to easily access the details and sample videos about each skill exercise required on a program.
Our streamlined solution not only simplifies the process but also keeps a record of each student’s attendance history over time, allowing you to easily monitor and analyze their progress.
With a user-friendly interface and advanced tracking capabilities, you’ll be able to evaluate each student’s progress with ease, allowing you to provide a personalized experience that caters to their unique needs.
An automated report card system saves coaches time and effort by generating customized reports that reflect each student’s evaluation results, which can be exported as PDFs quickly and efficiently.
A powerful tool to assist coaches in delivering a more personalized experience to their students by providing access to student profiles, tracking skill progress, and identifying attendance patterns.Â

Research ↓
How's kids' sport industry?
Kids’ sports industry is worth $5.7 billion, and the average Canadian family spends around $1,000 annually on their kids’ sports activities, according to a survey by SolutionsResearch Group (SRG) involving over 2,000Canadian families. This indicates a wide potential market for Coala, an application designed to manage extra-curricular classtools that can be used by coaches, teachers, and associations with portable devices.Given this research, the prospective usage rates for Coala are promising.
